Default New Member and a National Style O-14!

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, this is my first post. Been an electric player for 25 yrs, but recently bought a new National Style O-14 resonator and it's changing my direction on guitar! I purchased that model because I've always been inspired by Mark Knopfler, who's fingerstyle playing I've always loved. Anyways, learning to play with my fingers instead of a flatpick is definitely a challenge, like learning to play all over again. Been trying my hand at some slide, taking lessons and just learning some basic songs. I'm discovering the traditional blues artists from the 30's, like Son House, Bukka White and Tampa Red. If anyone knows of any good resonator sites on the web, I'd appreciate the links. Also any advice for a new acoustic player is appreciated. Thx!
Mike
