Amy thanks and Grah give it a shot remember you need the right strength of Velcro to heavy and you will not be able to remove the slide easily and don't worry about any damage to the finish the adhesive can be cleaned off with mineral spirits I plan on doing a video using my method on one of my songs soon it will show me taking it off and putting it on while I play

Re: Just an Idea (9 replies, posted in Electric)
I do on my Dobro electric houndog but not on my strat most of the bar chord forms serve as a guide especially D (5th fret) I just know from experience or scales which notes to play but I do lower the E to D sounds cool and bluesy with a slide when playing in D

Looks like a simple yet creative way to deal with the issue ... good on you, mate! One of these days, I'm going to fool with a slide and learn how to do some things with it. Do you typically use open tuning with it?

Topic: Just an Idea (9 replies, posted in Electric)
I couldn't find an easy way to switch between using my slide quickly then I tried this out I placed a strip of Velcro on my slide and on my guitar where it wouldn't interfere with my fretting hand you can see it at the lower cutaway

Tesla came up with alternating current when Edison was using direct current which required thicker and longer cables to supply it Tesla's AC used very thin wire and could be transmitted over many miles Tesla was backed by Westinghouse and financed by JP Morgan he was working on a revolutionary transmission of free energy using the ionosphere to bounce signals from a tower JP Morgan pulled his financing because he didn't want people to get electric or any power free Tesla had other very advanced proposals he was a true genius and humanitarian

Re: tascam (21 replies, posted in Recording)
Larry I took a look at your interface to do any recording with it you are going to need a software program the easiest and quickest to learn is the free software program Audacity from SourceForge once you download it and open the program you will have to open the edit tab and at the bottom of the drop down list is preferences click on that and find input and choose usb ,normally you can just connect a 1/8" mini jack from the blue utilities output in the back of your pc (if its a desktop) it its a laptop plug into your mic input
