[QUOTE=rock not roll]Ooo, I came up with this joke a while ago...

Why was Eddie Van Halen given the pre-mature Ejaculators's medal of honor?


His wanks last on average 20 seconds!

It needs a bit of work but it's good material eh?[/QUOTE]
That joke has a future ahead of it.:lol:

Whoa. I agree then.:)

Has anyone heard his song/album The Extremist? It has Harmonica, and It's good.

Anyways.......I think I want a slide for my guitar. Mainly to fool around with, but also so I can play Wild Child and In My Time Of Dying.:)[/QUOTE]

my brother bought me a slide for my birthday last year. its pretty fun, although i am very sloppy with it. i admit that the only song i can play and make it sound good is In My Time of Dying. i've tried some Skynyrd, but my slide always makes too much noises on the other strings too.

How much are slides?

Right now I'm playing In My Time of Dying without a slide, but it still sounds cool.:cool:

I bought a pretty nice metal slide on vacation during the summer, I still can't use it properly. I think I'm getting better, but I have that same problem :p

Slides are pretty cheap, if you spend more than $10 you're pretty dumb :D

Page's solo in In My Time of Dying on the Dvd are amazing, he really played well with the slide.

mine is plastic, it was about ten bucks canadian. (my brother is very cheap when it comes to bday presents.)

Here's a slide tip, if you hadn't already known.

Use the slide on either your ring finger (I do) or your pinky.

Pinky: Enables you to use your other fingers to play regularly, but still have the slide as an alternative.

Ring: Gives you a much better push on the strings and is easier to control.

When you push the slide on the strings and you get a twangy noise when you slide, use the remaining fingers to hold them down as back up.


All the Allman's use the slide on their ring to my knowledge.

hey lunch have you read Hammer of the Gods? i bought the Jim Morrison biography by the same author, and i thought it was absolutely amazing. Hammer of the Gods was a bestseller, and is supposed to be much better than the Jim Morrison one. i wanna read it very badly, but im wondering if there is anything in it that i don't already know.

edit- and i use my third (ring) finger for slide.

I definitely found Hammer of the Gods to be a good read, you would probably learn more about Zeppelin. Even if you didn't, it's entertaining to hear all the inside stuff about tour details, certain shows, songs, albums.

Stephen Davis is a great author, I plan to check out his other work.

Helpful tips, rep + :thumb:

Now that I think of it, I spent $12 on my slide... ****, there's some irony.

Thanks :)

I've been lookign for this Robert Johnson slide I saw in a magazine. It is Gold (surely not real), and just looks like a really good, solid slide.

awesome, i will probably end up getting it. I wasn't a big fan of Jim Morrison before i read that bio, i just bought it because i took my sister to the mall, and i didn't realize she intended on shopping for hours, so i just bought that book and read it for a few hours on a bench. by the end, i was obsessed with Jim Morrison, i've read it several times over.

OK folks, I've heard a lot about the Grateful Dead, but I've not heard any (don't hit me!) and I'd like to get into their stuff. But theres so much to choose from, so I'd like your opinions and reccomendations, cheers.

Buy [I]American Beauty[/I]. It's the starting point for all new Grateful Dead fans.

this man speaks the truth. you have came to the right place to get information. feel free to stick around and chat after you have heard the album.

Could you post a pic of your slide? I'd like to see it. :)

Well, I don't have a digital on me at the moment. And I lost my metal slide, but I still have my glass one. So when I can, yes. :)

I use my slide on my middle finger ( I just bought it 2 days ago).

Nice Avatar. I play slide with a cheap glass one.

Edit: When I didn't have one I used broken bottle necks. :cool:

I tried my dad's slide on my bass........it doesn't work.

Mine is $7.00 Dunlop chrome slide.

Mine is the same thing just glass.

You seriously used Bottlenecks?

Yea.

Me plays drums and has no slides.

Neither can you. Bass-boy.

What a skank way to do it.

At least I have strings.

Still cant find "Wake of the Flood". :(

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]At least I have strings.[/QUOTE]

Bass is for people who can't play guitar and should have played drums.

You won't be able to find any of the ones from '75 on. Unless you're somehow lucky as hell.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Bass is for people who can't play guitar and should have played drums.[/QUOTE]
I can play my dad's guitar upside down(he's a righty, I'm a lefty). I don't think it's as fun as bass. I started with drums, and I didn't really like it.

Excuses, excuses. At least drummers admit that they have no talent.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]What a skank way to do it.[/QUOTE]
Im sorry I didn't buy the guitar slide book with it.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Excuses, excuses. At least drummers admit that they have no talent.[/QUOTE]
I bet I could out drum you by with my bass.

Are you saying you have no talent?
