Can Anyone Recommend Book (Or Videos) For Learning To Play Slide?

[colchar]

I am once again starting to learn slide and was wondering if anyone knows of any good books (or videos) that would help a beginning slide player? I am primarily interested in technique, then exercises, then songs.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty much self-taught but I do have Bob Brozman's DVD of basic Delta Blues slide playing....It's excellent.
Bob was a master and he starts out from the most basic techniques in this.

So far as I know, all his material is still available on his site.

If it's acoustic then any of Toby Walker's slide products are great. For electric I think that John Tuggle (LearningGuitarNow.com) has some excellent DVDs/downloadable courses. John's slide style is very much in the Derek Trucks vein. The Bob Brozman DVDs are good, but I couldn't recommend him on principle. Plus I think it's good to have a few different sources.

I'm curious why you wouldn't recommend Bob Brozman?

While the material he released was great, and I liked his instructional DVDs, I feel that with all the allegations that have come after his death, it's difficult for me to recommend any of his products. This is just my opinion, we may never find out the truth behind the allegations, so whether or not to use his stuff comes down to your own comfort level. in hindsight I should have not mentioned him in my original post.

I was completely unaware of any allegations but just did a Google search and can understand where you're coming from.
