Pretty cool article. Been playing open E for slide but, I think I'll have a go at open G, D & C.

My interest in slide came from Ry Cooder's playing on this song...

Mind blown! What tuning do you use the most?
Been meaning to permanently set up one of my guitars for slide but, I can't bring myself to committing any of my current guitars. May have to buy a cheap Gibson.

Sort of like the intro to Stairway to Heaven and Spirit's song, Taurus?
Jimmy had no shame when it came to borrowing ideas!
