Default Bottleneck slide instruction?

Any suggestions for online/DVD beginner bottleneck acoustic slide? I've made a couple nice slides from old wine bottles, but now need to be able to use them. ( The main reason I bought my Harmony Sovereign H1203
Thanks!

I don't have this one by Toby Walker, but I have some of his others and they're excellent. And he's a forum sponsor.

Hi Brushwood,

I've been teaching bottleneck slide for over 40 years and loving it! Besides the DVD I have on Homespun - thanks for the mention Kerbie - I also offer downloadable videos with tab specifically for beginning slide players. Here's the website for more information:

By his own admission, Matt Smith gives a killer slide guitar lesson. Here's a video called "Matt Smith Gives A Killer Slide Guitar Lesson - Part 1."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjhYCoQrh_0&t=320s

(He mis-states a couple of note names while explaining the open D tuning. You'll find the corrections in the comments.) g'luck!
