Default first time sharing a slide recording - Guitar Rag (Sylvester Weaver)

Hi guys,

I started working on slide last month for the first time ever so this is my first time sharing a slide recording. Sylvester Weaver's Guitar Rag on a National Triolian 12 Fret. From an arrangement by Tom Feldmann.



I hope you enjoy it.

Simple things like playing one string 11 fret, then 12 fret, then 11 fret, then 12 fret and slowly speed that up to get....vibrato:

That was pretty cool, Doug. Pretty clean slide work, too. I've got to try a resonator some time.

I enjoyed that a lot, thanks for posting it. Loved that final punctuation note at the end of the song, too

Nice work!
