Slide guitar or bottleneck guitar is a particular method or technique for playing the guitar. The guitar is a Musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles The term slide is in reference to the sliding motion of the slide against the strings, while bottleneck refers to the original material of choice for such slides, which were the necks of glass bottles. Instead of altering the pitch of the strings in the normal manner (by pressing the string against frets), a slide is placed upon the string to vary its vibrating length, and pitch. Pitch represents the perceived Fundamental frequency of a sound A string is the vibrating element that is the source of vibration in String instruments such as the Guitar, Harp, Piano, and members A fret is a raised portion on the neck of a Stringed instrument, that extends generally across the full width of the neck This slide can then be moved along the string without lifting, creating continuous transitions in pitch.

Slide guitar is most often played (assuming a right-handed player and guitar):

• With the guitar in the normal position, using a slide called a bottleneck on one of the fingers of the left hand; this is known as bottleneck guitar.
• With the guitar held horizontally, with the belly uppermost and the bass strings toward the player, and using a slide called a steel held in the left hand; this is known as steel guitar. Steel guitar is A method of playing Slide guitar using a steel.

Slides may be used on any guitar, but slides generally and steels in particular are often used on instruments specifically made to be played in this manner. These include:

• All steel guitars. Steel guitar is A method of playing Slide guitar using a steel.
• Many (perhaps most) resonator guitars, particularly Dobros and their descendants. A resonator guitar or resophonic guitar is an acoustic guitar whose sound is produced by one or more metal cones ( Resonators ' instead of the Dobro is a Trade name now owned by Gibson Guitar Corporation and used for a particular design of Resonator guitar.
• Lap slide guitars, particularly Weissenborns and their descendants. A lap slide guitar is a conventional (non- resonator) acoustic Guitar that is played in Lap steel guitar fashion Weissenborn or H Weissenborn is a brand of Lap slide guitar manufactured by Hermann Weissenborn in Los Angeles

Equipment

Since the introduction of slide guitar playing in the early 1900s, many different materials have been used to play slide guitar. Various smooth hard objects may be used as a slide. One of the most common is the neck of a glass bottle, which is slipped over one of the fingers of the fretting hand. A bottle is a container with a neck that is narrower than the body and a "mouth The term "bottleneck guitar" derives from this. A glass, stainless steel, brass, or chrome tube of approximately the same size (typically one to two inches long and ¾ inch diameter) may also be used. Glass in the common sense refers to a Hard, Brittle, transparent Solid, such as that used for Windows many In Metallurgy, stainless steel is defined as a Steel Alloy with a minimum of 11 Brass is any Alloy of Copper and Zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties Chrome plating, often referred to simply as chrome, is a technique of Electroplating a thin layer of Chromium onto a Metal object There are also the Mudslide porcelain and Moonshine Slides ceramic slides, invented by Terrie Lambert in 1990, which are glazed on the outside but porous on the inside, so that finger moisture is absorbed, preventing slippage. Porcelain is a Ceramic material made by heating raw materials generally including Clay in the form of Kaolin, in a Kiln to temperatures The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός ( keramikos) An alternative method is to use a solid metal bar or rod, also about the same size as above, laid across the strings of the guitar and held by the fingers of the fretting hand being laid on it to either side, parallel to it. Shotglasses, pipes, and stones have also been used to good effect, as have rings and even cigarette lighters.

One can also use a knife instead of a bar:

"As he played, he pressed a knife on the strings of the guitar in a manner popularised by Hawaiian guitarists who used steel bars. The effect was unforgettable. " ―W. C. Handy on his first hearing slide guitar, a blues player in the Tutwiler, Mississippi train station. William Christopher Handy ( November 16 1873 &ndash March 28 1958) was a Blues Composer and Musician, often Tutwiler is a town in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, United States.

An ordinary guitar, either electric or acoustic, can be used for playing slide. Often the strings are raised a little higher off the neck than they would be for ordinary guitar playing. This is done especially if the free fingers are not going to be used for fretting. An extension nut may be used to achieve the higher string height at the peghead end of the neck. This is just a normal nut, with the slots filed less deeply, and often in a straight line rather than following the radius of the fretboard.

The lap steel and the pedal steel are guitars that have evolved especially for playing slide in the horizontal position. The lap steel guitar is a type of Steel guitar, from which other types developed The pedal steel guitar is a type of Electric guitar that uses a metal slide to stop the strings rather than fingers on strings as with a conventional guitar Resophonic or resonator guitars have often been employed for slide playing, typically held horizontally. A resonator guitar or resophonic guitar is an acoustic guitar whose sound is produced by one or more metal cones ( Resonators ' instead of the They are sometimes known as dobros after the Dopyera brothers, whose company first made them. Dobro is a Trade name now owned by Gibson Guitar Corporation and used for a particular design of Resonator guitar. National is another brand. In resonator guitars, rather than the sound being produced by the body's hollow, a special bridge transfers the vibrations from the strings to a metal cone placed inside the body.

Technique

The slide is pressed against the strings—lightly, so as not to touch the strings to the fretboard, and parallel to the frets. The pitch of the strings can then be continuously varied by moving the slide up and down the neck. The usual limitation in fretted guitar playing of twelve pitches per octave does not apply. Indeed, in pure slide guitar playing the frets serve no purpose, other than as a visual reference. The technique lends itself to glissandi (swoops up or down to a note); in addition it has the ability to evoke sounds of the human voice, crying, sighing or weeping, or natural noises. " Glissando " (plural glissandi abbreviated gliss is a glide from one pitch to another Another strength of the technique is its vibrato, which is easily achieved by oscillating the hand so that the slide goes quickly back and forth.

The major limitation of slide playing is of course that only one chord shape is available: whatever the strings happen to be tuned to going straight across. A guitar chord is a chord, a collection of tones usually sounded together at once played on a Guitar, a type of chromatically fretted String Many slide guitarists will still use their free fingers to fret the strings if they want to employ that sound as well. A guitarist is a Musician who plays the Guitar. Guitarists may perform solo pieces or play with ensembles and bands of a wide variety of genres Using the free fingers opens up the possibility of playing chord shapes other than the straight line given by the slide. One strategy is to use the free fingers for rhythm work, and intersperse this with lead phrases played with the slide. Rhythm guitar is the use of a Guitar to provide Rhythmic chordal Accompaniment for a singer or other instruments in a Musical ensemble

The guitar may be held in the normal guitar-playing position (that is, with the face of the guitar more-or-less vertical) or it may be held flat, with the face of the guitar horizontal. A lap slide guitar is a conventional (non- resonator) acoustic Guitar that is played in Lap steel guitar fashion In the latter case the guitar may sit flat in one's lap or on a stool, face up, or held in this position by a strap, and played standing up. If holding the guitar in the normal vertical position, it is more common to use the tube type of slide. In the horizontal approach, solid bars or "bullets" are more commonly used, and the grip is overhand: the hand is not wrapped around the neck, the index finger is nearest the bridge, the little finger nearest the nut, fingers pointing away from the chest.

Usually, a slide player will use open tuning, although standard tuning is sometimes used. Guitar tunings are differing pitch arrangements of open (unfretted strings used for the Guitar. In open tuning the strings are tuned to sound a chord when not fretted; sliding the bottleneck up and down the guitar neck gives that chord in various keys. This article describes musical chords in traditional Western styles The chord tuned to is most often major. Open tunings commonly used with slide include Open D or "Vestapol" tuning: D-A-d-f#-a-d; and Open G or "Spanish" tuning: D-G-d-g-b-d . Open E and Open A, formed by raising each of those tunings a whole tone, are also common. These tunings can be traced back to the 18th century through the banjo, predating the Hawaiian guitar. Another open D tuning is D-A-d-a-d-f#. Other tunings are used as well.

Occasionally a bottleneck is used on only the highest two strings of a guitar in standard tuning, usually in live performance to introduce just a short passage of bottleneck effect into a piece which otherwise consists mainly of guitar played in standard fashion.

Slide guitar is most often fingerpicked, with or without plastic or metal picks on the thumb and fingers. However some players use a flatpick (plectrum). Often called a pick or plec, a plectrum is a small flat tool used to pluck or strum a stringed instrument.

The bottleneck or tube type of slide is usually worn over the ring (3rd) or little (4th) finger. Wearing it on the 4th finger has the advantage of leaving one more finger free to fret notes if desired. However some players feel that they get better control using the ring finger. Most instructors recommend letting one or more of the fingers behind the slide rest lightly on the strings to help mute unwanted vibrations.

Technical challenges

The main technical challenges with slide guitar playing are:

• Intonation (playing each note right at the desired pitch, not a little flat or a little sharp)
• Muting undesired strings.

Slide guitar places greater demands on one's ability to mute strings than standard guitar does. Playing a melody with well articulated individual notes requires more skill than may at first be apparent; it is easy to get a howling mass of notes on slide guitar until muting is mastered. This is because the movement of the slide, which is usually pressing down more than one string, causes those strings to sound, but not all of those strings are necessarily intended to sound at a given time. In contrast to fretting, in which the note decays quickly after the fretting finger is lifted, unwanted notes while using a slide must be actively muted. One can touch the string with a fingertip of the picking hand, or lift the slide and damp with a fretting-hand finger. The first method is more selective, the second stops all sound.

Correct position of the bottleneck. There is no contact between the strings and the fret, thus avoiding a metallic buzz sound. Muting the strings with the fingers between the bottleneck and the guitar neck helps to produce a clean sound.

Wrong position of the bottleneck. Applying too much pressure will produce a contact between the strings, the fret and the bottleneck. This will produce an unwanted buzz sound.

Double slide guitar system

A relatively new technique, expanding the musical range and sonic capabilities of slide guitar, is the system of double slide guitar. It was invented by Brian Cober, a Canadian blues musician. In double slide, the first slide is placed on the middle finger (usually a modified steel bar that can be put on the finger) and a modified thumb slide is put on the thumb that is able to cover two strings. Double slide is meant to be played on a six string lap guitar (or a regular six string guitar modified with the strings raised up for high action like a lap guitar), usually tuned to open e tuning. The double slide guitar system allows for the player to achieve chords not heard in open tunings, such as minor chords, dominant seventh chords etc. and allows for a greater use of technique in soloing. ^[1] Will Ray of the Hellecasters uses a similar technique, wearing "stealth" pinky type slides on either hand. Will Ray (born 1950 Richmond Virginia) is a long-time American session Guitarist and current member of the Hellecasters. The Hellecasters are an American Guitar group Composed of Nashville session players Will Ray, John Jorgenson (Desert Rose

History

The technique of using a slide on a string has been traced to a one-string toy-instrument: the "diddley bow," which resembles one-stringed African instruments. The diddley bow is an American String instrument of African origin The tuning and bend filled playing style resembles the blues-harp. Finger vibrato is Vibrato produced on a String instrument by cyclic hand movements There are numerous techniques available for Harmonica. A few are described here ^[2] While this seems to imply that the technique originated in Africa and crossed the Atlantic during the slave trade, there is also a Pacific connection (the Hawaiian "slack guitar style"), possibly tracing its origins back to the Indian subcontinent, where the Vichitra Veena is played sliding a glass ball across the strings. The Vichitra Veena is a Plucked string instrument used in Hindustani music.

The technique was made popular by African American blues artists. The Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of Music based on the use of the Blue notes It emerged as an accessible form of self-expression The first musician to be recorded using the style was Sylvester Weaver who recorded two solo pieces "Guitar Blues" and "Guitar Rag" in 1923. Sylvester Weaver (born July 25 1897 in Louisville Kentucky; died April 4 1960 in Louisville Kentucky was an American Blues Some of the blues artists who most prominently used the slide include gospel singer Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Son House, and Robert Johnson as well as Casey Bill Weldon of the Memphis Jug Band. "Blind" Willie Johnson ( January 22, 1897  &ndash September 18, 1945) was an American Singer and Guitarist William Samuel McTell, better known as Blind Willie McTell ( May 5, 1898 (sometimes reported as 1901 or even 1903 – August 19, 1959 Fred McDowell ( January 12 1904 - July 3 1972) often known as Mississippi Fred McDowell, was a blues Singer and Guitar Eddie James "Son" House Jr ( March 21 1902 – October 19 1988) was an American Blues singer and Guitarist Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8 1911 – August 16 1938 is among the most famous of Delta blues musicians Casey Bill Weldon (July 10 1909&ndash196? was an African-American Blues Musician who lived and worked in Chicago, best known for his his The Memphis Jug Band was an American musical group in the late 1920s and early to mid 1930s The sound has since become commonplace in country and Hawaiian music. Country music is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States and the Appalachian Mountains. The State of Hawaii ( or həˈwaɪʔiː Hawaiian: Mokuāina o Hawaii) is a state in the United States located on an Archipelago in the It is also used in rock, by bands such as The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd (whose original singer Syd Barrett used a Zippo rather than an actual slide on the song See Emily Play), and ZZ Top that have been heavily influenced by the blues. Rock music is a genre of Popular music often though not necessarily employing Electric guitar, Bass guitar, and Drums. The Allman Brothers Band is a Southern rock band based in Macon, Georgia. Lynyrd Skynyrd (ˌlɛnɚdˈskɪnɝd is an American Southern rock band Led Zeppelin were Pink Floyd are Syd Barrett (born Roger Keith Barrett; 6 January 1946 - 7 July 2006 was an English singer songwriter guitarist and artist Zippo lighter is a refillable metal lighter manufactured by Zippo Manufacturing Company of Bradford Pennsylvania.

While the Allmans were the first to bring slide guitar to a wide audience, The Rolling Stones used it as early as their 1963 recording of the John Lennon/Paul McCartney song "I Wanna Be Your Man". John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942 is an English rock Singer, Bass guitarist songwriter Composer, " I Wanna Be Your Man " is a rock song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and recorded separately by The Beatles and The Rolling Guitarist Brian Jones played slide in a very blues-oriented style. Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969 was a founding member and Guitarist of the English Rock group The Rolling Stones. His successor, Mick Taylor also displayed his own slide guitar skills while with the band, using a bottleneck on studio recordings and during live performances. Michael "Mick" Kevin Taylor (born 17 January 1949 in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire) is an English Musician best known as a

Arguably the first influential classic electric blues slide guitarist is Elmore James, whose riff in the song "Dust My Broom" is copied from Robert Johnson^[3] and is held in particularly high regard. Elmore James ( January 27, 1918 &ndash May 24, 1963) was an American Blues Guitarist, Singer " Dust My Broom " is a Blues standard originally recorded as " I Believe I'll Dust My Broom "by Robert Johnson the Mississippi Delta Blues legend Muddy Waters was also very influential, particularly in developing the electric Chicago blues slide guitar from the acoustic Mississippi Delta slide guitar.

The late Duane Allman played a key role in bringing slide guitar into rock music, through his work with the Allman Brothers Band. Howard Duane Allman (November 20 1946 – October 29 1971 was an American, Lead guitarist of the Southern rock group The Allman Brothers Band Duane Allman shows his skill in playing slide guitar in the 1971 live album At Fillmore East and with Derek and the Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs album. At Fillmore East is a double Live album by The Allman Brothers Band, universally regarded as their breakthrough success Derek and the Dominos were a Blues-rock supergroup formed in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer Eric Clapton with keyboardist Bobby Whitlock Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is a Blues - rock album by Derek and the Dominos. Beginning in the late 1960s, Allman used an empty glass Coricidin medicine bottle, which he wore over his ring finger, as a slide; this was later picked up by other slide guitarists such as Bonnie Raitt, Rory Gallagher, and Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Duane extended the expressive range of the slide guitar by incorporating the harmonica effects of Sonny Boy Williamson II, most clearly in the Allman Brothers' cover version of Sonny Boy's One Way Out, heard on their CD Eat a Peach. A harmonica is a free reed Wind instrument which is played by blowing air into it or drawing air out by placing lips over individual holes (reed chambers or Aleck "Rice" Miller ( December 5 1899 or March 11 1908 – May 25 1965) a In Popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition ( Performance or Recording) of a previously recorded commercially released " One Way Out " is a Blues song first recorded and released in the early-mid 1960s by Sonny Boy Williamson II and Elmore James, an R&B Eat a Peach is a 1972 Double album by the American Southern rock group The Allman Brothers Band; it was the last to include founding He made his slide playing sound remarkably like an alto saxophone in the ABB's live version of "You Don't Love Me" on their 1989 anthology Dreams. The alto saxophone is a member of the Saxophone a family of Woodwind instruments invented by Adolphe Sax. (During his solo he included a portion of the song "Soul Serenade" as a tribute to his close friend, the then-recently-murdered alto player King Curtis. Curtis Ousley ( February 7, 1934 – August 13, 1971) who performed under the name King Curtis, was an American )

Bonnie Raitt also showcases the slide guitar, much like her long-time friend and slide guitarist, Lowell George (using an 11/16 spark plug socket), as well as studio and solo artist Ry Cooder and George Harrison (particularly on most of his albums, among many others). Bonnie Lynn Raitt (born November 8, 1949) is an American Blues Singer-songwriter who was born in Burbank, California Lowell Thomas George or Lowell George ( April 13, 1945 - June 29, 1979) was an American Singer-songwriter Ryland "Ry" Peter Cooder (born 15 March 1947, in Los Angeles, California) is an American Guitarist, Singer, and George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001 was an English rock Guitarist Singer - Songwriter, Author

Rich Robinson (born May 24 1969) is a musician and a founding member of the rock group The Black Crowes.

Effects

In recent years, some guitarists have developed the bottleneck technique further by introducing effects. For example, Matt Bellamy of the English rock band Muse, who uses the guitar slide with a multitude of rack mounted and pedal effects, most notably a Korg Kaoss Pad, built in below the bridge of his guitar. Matthew James Bellamy (born 9 June, 1978) is the main Songwriter and Lead vocalist, Guitarist and Pianist in Muse are The Kaoss Pad is a Touchpad MIDI controller sampler, and effects processor for audio and musical instruments made by Korg. This heavily effected technique allows him to produce many different sounds; mainly the ethereal, sustained, wailing sound during the introduction to the song "Invincible". [1]

Bass

A few musicians have used slides with bass guitar—slide bass. The electric bass guitar (also called electric bass, or simply bass; ˈbeɪs as in "base" is a Stringed instrument played primarily with the Mark Sandman was probably the best known proponent (with Morphine, he performed primarily on a custom two-string slide bass guitar). Mark Sandman ( September 24 1952 – July 3 1999) was an American singer songwriter Musical instrument inventor and multi-instrumentalist Morphine was an Alternative rock group formed by Mark Sandman and Dana Colley in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, in 1989 Bill Laswell, Robert Weaver, Kevin Rutmanis and Marc Sloan, and Stefan Lessard of the Dave Matthews Band have also played slide bass.

Samples

The following samples give an impression of the various styles of slide guitar. First is Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues", one of the best-known examples of Delta blues slide guitar. The Delta blues is one of the earliest styles of Blues music. Second is Elmore James's famous cover of the riff from Robert Johnson's "Dust My Broom", a textbook example of slide guitar in electric blues. " Dust My Broom " is a Blues standard originally recorded as " I Believe I'll Dust My Broom "by Robert Johnson the Mississippi Delta Finally, a part of Duane Allman's solo from Eric Clapton's "Layla" is included, to give an impression of highly acclaimed slide work in rock music. " Layla " is the title track on the Derek and the Dominos album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, released in December 1970
