Slide Guitar in Music
 

I love the way this sounds, especially when its mixed in with rock music, i want to know some more bands or musicians that use this.

only ones i can think of off the top of my head are the gun club, white stripes, mazzy star,cream and muddy waters.

Zeppelin has some great slide.

one of the best things to ever happen to the guitar.

other musicians that use them: sonic youth, the beatles, beck, pink floyd, weezer

Try the 60s group The Misunderstood - GREAT middle-easterney steel guitar.
Also, there is some beautifully atmospheric steel guitar action on "Chill Out" by the KLF. Make fun if you like, but I still really enjoy that album.

what sonic youth songs, have slide? im sure ive heard them before but i just never really noticed it.

they use a slide in 'sunday' and 'razorblade' and i know for sure. that's all that comes to mind. i'm sure there's more
and they always freakout with them, but that doesn't really count

Kim does slide stuff on Pattern Recognition too.

Expressway to yr Skull,Marilyn Moore

other sliders...Butthole Surfers,Cosey from Throbbing Gristle used a slide all the time,Blixa Bargeld in the Bad Seeds.

the last mixtape I made was based around slide guitar. Most of it is blues, I recommend the Captain Beefheart track

1.black ace- i am the black ace
2.Captain Beefheart-Sho 'nuff and yes i do
3.hop wilson-dance to it
4.Blind willie johnson -I know his blood can make me whole
5.hound dog taylor - gimme back my wig
6.robert johnson - sweet home chicago
7.canned ehat - rollin and tumblin
8.charley patton - high sheriff blues
9.bukka white - bukkas jitterbug swing
10.JB hutton and the hawks - too much alcohol
11.john primer - stop draggin that chain around
12.blind boy fuller - homesick&lonesome blues
13.Allman bros - statesbro blues
14.leadbelly-packin' trunk
15.muddy waters - honey bee
16.tampa red - you cant get that stuff no mo
17.johnny winter - mean town blues
18.elore james - sky is crying
19.beck -14 rivers
20.mississippi fred dowell - good mornin little school girl
21. coral - skeleton key

Hats off to (Roy) Harper is maybe my favourite zep track

Gotta love the Rolling Stones cover of Fred McDowells "You Gotta Move", Mick Taylor's slide work is sick.

Led Zep, In My Time of Dying, has some nice sliding.

"Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More" by Mudhoney has some cool slide.

A lot of songs by The Cows have slide bass..

Lydia Lunch uses the slide all the time along with practically all of the no wave bands of the early 80s...

Throbbing Gristle!
Cosey Fanni Tutti used a slide on her guitar most of the time, to great effect.

Leo Kottke's got some good slide jams.

i love how Jack White plays slide guitar, i dont really know anyone else, well i know i just dont really know what they sound like

i have a lap steel guitar which is iemnse fun to play and easy to get around. i heartily reccomends everyone get one.

I think Jeff Buckley was very good at slide guitar (cf Last Goodbye, Lost highway and Vancouver).

Silver by the Pixies has slide guitar

You're getting repped for mentioning the Gun Club:) They had a good tradition with using slides, but the ultimate GC slideguitar song has got to be Mother Earth from Miami, (Breaking Hands comes close though)

Duane Dennison is such an underrated guitarist. I met him after the Tomahawk gig in belfast a few years back,he talked to me for about 20 minutes, really nice guy. although it might have been because a lot of other people were floating round patton like flies round shite

blind willie johnson motherfuckers!
the indisputed king of the slide.

the white stripes - I fought Piranhas
the white stripes - suzy lee

Ben Harper

haha, that john fahey interview at the end of the video is funny, when that chick comments "it seems like a very limited instrument" and he doesn't really respond, and that she presses him a little more, like "don't you think" and then he goes "yeah, its limited!" and then he mumbles something sarcastically along the lines of, "yeah, only 5 or 6 songs", well i dont know, maybe he wasn't being sacastic, but i got a kick of it. A using a specific tunning has never to stopped SY from being creative.

And oh man, did you see the clip on youtube right before this clip, it really is, punk as fuck!

Yep, the guitar is so limiting.
Not like a versatile instrument such as the Kazoo.
I mean, you can hum anything you want into one of those suckers and it just comes right out! The possibilities are endless!

hahaha
