The #1 slide song to get started is ZZ Top's "Tush"...

Yes I play slide a lot. I prefer the old authentic stuff. You'll need an open Spanish tuning for this one.
In this lesson Tom Feldmann explains the song pretty well.



It's worth having a second guitar in open G (DGDGBD)

Goodonya ...Mark.

It takes dedication, like learning a new instrument. You can't just dabble with slide every few months and expect to progress. That's why I recommended a separate guitar set up and ready to go.

I play a little slide, usually in open G or open D...

A couple of players to study and emulate:

Muddy Waters
Hound Dog Taylor
Lowell George
Bonnie Raitt
Mick Taylor
