Yes, that is a tricky one at first. When you feel ready here are a few ideas. Practice singing the major scale (do,rei,mi,fa,sol,la,ti)while playing it with the bottleneck on the first string. Record a song with your guitar, and practice just singing during the playback. Then try singing the song and playing at the same time. Enjoy.

I'm still having trouble coordinating singing with playing. Put simply, I'm not there yet.
Someday....

If Mr. Son House didn't sing, it would be very repetitive. Now, I'm no singer, but the more I try to match my voice to the Bottleneck, the better it gets. There are three instruments. Your voice...the guitar...and your foot. Keep on my friend, it is great to share with someone who has simular tastes.
My question is how did you get yours to sound so clear, when i play my Fender FR50 it is very clear, but all my strings ring. Do you palm muste or what? I am jsut learning and trying to figure this out, and all the teachers i've had couldnt teach me a lick of slide blues, which sucked.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can kill strings with palms, fingers, or whatever is comfortable to achieve the sound you're looking for. I had exactly the same issue with ringing strings until I started to slowly develop my own way of playing a note, and stopping it with either my palm or fingers, or some other part of me. you wan also use fingers of the left hand just touching a string to kill its sound outright if the string gets in the way of a chord you're trying to play.
