Another Slide Style...

Post by lilybee »

I never really paid attention to George Thorogood's "slide guitar" before,
but in this song he plays a little bit like Chris! 8)

I know, this song is such a c-c-c-cliché, but....wait for the slide solos...

Any other sliders out there to compare....?

Here's one for ya Lily - Ben Harper. A little different. He plays it on his lap, but pretty good! (There's about 2 ands half minutes of talking on this video before he starts to play, but worth the wait, or fast forward)

Hi Thom,

I love Ben Harper!! :D
Just saw his concert on Direct TV the other day, he's great 8)

The other guy with the spoon is just funny, but goes to show you the different things people can do with slide styles.

I believe CR himself that Ben Harper was the best slide player he'd ever seen and would be a huge star if he was playing in the 80's.
