	Lap slide guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lap slide guitars are now the least common of the three types of lap steel guitar, despite having been developed slightly before the electric steel guitar and the resonator guitar, those being the other two types, and both of them being intrinsically very much louder than the lap slide guitar.
		The most basic form of lap slide guitar is a regular acoustic guitar that has been modified for this purpose by either replacing the nut and bridge saddle with taller versions or by fitting a shim under the originals.
		Unlike standard guitars the notes are not sounded by pressing the string to the fretboard but are created by using light pressure on the strings from an object held in the hand.

	Slide Guitar Lesson From Acoustic Guitar Magazine by Glenn Weiser
		Alternatives to commercially manufactured slides are lipstick holders, ¾-inch spark plug sockets, Coricidin bottles, or what many slide guitarists prefer: a straight neck from a wine bottle such as Mateus, fifth size (it has to be carefully cut or broken off from the bottle, and then the cut has to be ground down until smooth).
		The slide should be both perpendicular to the string and parallel to the frets, and it should lightly rest on the string without pushing down.
		Because slide guitar is traditionally a fingerpicking style, I recommend as a general rule that you use the right-hand thumb to pluck the fourth, fifth, and sixth strings and the other fingers for the first, second, and third strings.

		Holding the slide across all of the strings at the 5th fret, pick each string individually, downwards from the 6th string to the 1st string.

	Slide Guitar -- The Basics

	Slide Guitar Playing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		No matter which odd device you decide to slide along your guitar strings, the idea behind all slide playing is very simple: instead of pushing down on a string to create a pitch, you touch the string with a slide.
		If you are playing an acoustic guitar with high action and heavy strings, for example, and you are using a glass slide, you are going to have to press a bit harder.
		The heavy brass slide that would be great for that high-action acoustic simply won’t work on an electric guitar because it will weigh the strings down to the fretboard.

	Slide Rhythm Guitar In Drop D \| Lessons @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Here is a neat slide guitar rhythm part, played in dropped D. It incorporates a bunch of techniques I've been demonstrating in these lessons: slide, normal playing, muting.
		So the first D is a line-up on the 7th fret (part of the A form barre D chord); the little G chord is the open strings of the open G chord; the next D is a fingered double stop, the 3 and 5 of an open D chord.
		As the previous 'Slide Guitar In Drop D. Part 1 and Part 2' lessons demonstrate also, and contrary to popular belief, standard/dropped D tunings are a rich environment for slide.

	Acoustic Guitar Central: Learn single-string slide melodies., page1
		When the slide makes contact with the string, the effect is the same as pressing the string into contact with a fret: the string length is shortened, creating a higher pitch.
		It is having the slide, not a fret, stop the string that makes slide guitar sound like slide guitar, because unlike a fret, you can move the slide while the note is still vibrating.
		Open D is a good beginning point for slide because it allows you to play a wide range of melodies without ever leaving the high string, and the high string is the easiest string to play cleanly on with the slide.

	Slide Guitar Tunings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Open tunings of chord voicings were certainly rather common when Slide Guitar came upon the scene in the late 1800s.
		Because the Guitar had an academic tuning we know as the standard Guitar tuning, that tuning dictated what voicings (note arrangements) would occur with each open chord played, which are the chords played close to the nut and have 1 or more unfretted strings (open strings) as part of the chord notes.
		With 6 strings on a Guitar, the voicing for the common open C chord is 3, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3.

		In the early part of the 20th century, the guitar was becoming increasingly popular, as a cheaper alternative to the piano.
