[Down Up Dick]

I rigged my Gold Tone “mini” banjo up to noodle with some slide (again). I needed a change, somethin’ new. I’ve messed with slide before but on different instruments. I haven’t played my mini in a while or slide either for that matter, so I guess it’s time for somethin’ new to shake me awake. I played a bit today and did low okay. Now nowhere ta go but up.

Right now I’m gittin’ my music together and tryin’ to remember what I learned before. It’s comin’ back, but somehow some mistaken info has crept in. I had a good time yesterday though.

What kind of slide are you using? Glass, Brass, Ceramic, other?

 

[Wiggy]

Metal bar, PVC, Copper, Stainless, schedule-x pipe, Coricidin bottle, a "Lady" (7 oz.) Corona, a small Tabasco, Zippo lighter, cutoff maple drum stick, or (for flattop) an A1 or HP sauce bottle?

<edit> Sorry, it was an overworked weekend and I'm re-tired.

 

[Down Up Dick]

I have a short, glass one that I like, and a longer glass one that’s only okay.

But aren’t you going sideways?

Glass, but I’m not usin’ it right now. I’m working on some other aspects of blues. Why do you ask?

 

[Down Up Dick]

Only violinists slide sideways. I slide Down & Up.

Just curious. I tried brass but passed that on to my son. I now have several glass slides. I don't play slide very much but it's fun to play every now and then. If you don't have a slide handy then one just has to improvise.
