Slow blues solo on slide guitar

The slide comes in at 1:34 if you want to skip forward in this slow blues improvisation on slide guitar in open e tuning with Boss RC3 looper.

Very early days for me learning slide guitar and creating my own solos. I greatly enjoyed videos by Marty Schwartz and found them very helpful e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAJA33JiArM

Another video I found helpful for getting me started was

There is good info for beginners at http://www.12bar.de/slide.php

There is also a great place for seeing how scales and chords are placed on the fretboard in open e for learning patterns, which I found invaluable:

Please let me know if you have any favorite links which would help me learn more.

Yo Carsick great slide work.

Look forward to some long rambling stories about your life riding the rails and hobo-ing around.

Hi Squitting Steve. Good rambling stories? Well, how about that time we hired that old car and set out on a road trip. The damn thing only had three wheels. I cuss the man who sold it to us and the criminal price he set. We used what little we had left to buy a dozen kebabs for the journey. How they reeked after a few days cooking on the back seat. As we crossed the country, we sure earned our nicknames: Squitting and Carsick. Jeez that Robin Reliant was a helluva mess by the end.

You play with feeling. That slide sounds like it's crying a sad tale. Keep playing what you feel inside. Once you loose yourself in the music, you have reache nirvana.

Very delta-like. Good feeling & tone bro.
