Hi, all. I just bought a course called Slide Guitar Secrets by a guy named Rob Ashe. I think he can help me get
started. But just for kicks I thought I'd ask a couple of simple questions here. First off, what strings are best suited to
slide playing? I use 9.5 pure nickel wound, but I'm going to move up to tens for this. Are nickel strings good, or should I use
steel or brass strings? Also, I'm going to to upgrade an old cheap guitar I have for practice, so what kind of pick-ups
would you guys recommend for a good slide tone? I'll be using single coils unless my mechanic can route out enough room
for buckers. Eager to hear from all you pros out there. Thanks a bunch for your help.
