Slide guitar videos are up for real this time

[JayP5150]

Me and myspace had a fight. My vids were listed and will play now and then, but not sonsistantly.

Turns out, I had a photobucket (hmm... didn't even have anything on it lol), so I slapped them on there.

Here you go:

Kinda looks like Photobucket grainy-ed them up a bit, and the timing's not perfect. I'll try to keep working with the myspace ones (they were a bit better quality).

Please let me know what y'all think.

LOL, you can have one for about $75!

That's a Dean EVO. $99 new. I grabbed it used at GC for $75, then added all the hardware and electronics I had on my old slide guitar. Carvin p/u's, tuners, pots, knobs, etc. The Dean stuff went on my old slide guitar, and now I have a beater to knock around on at home.

It's a solid body (basswood), and a maple neck, whcih is why I wanted one. Even though it's a cheapie, my old LP copy was plywood! The tone on the Dean is much better, and for a slide guitar, it works great for me.

If you bought everything brand new (including the Carvin stuff), you'd only have about $200 in it  .

Thanks for the kind words so far guys.

Like I was saying, find a solid-body beater, and mod it out with p/u's of your choice. It's a cheap "in," and yields a good tone usually. I played slide on a plywood LP copy with those same p/u's that are in the Dean for years (all the stuff on my soundlick except for the LGM track is the LP copy).

Thanks for the compliments. I wish I had more time to work with it. I was listening to some of those guys on Youtube playing delta blues, and I felt like I was dragging. I can't wait to hear your stuff now that you're fired up lol.

its gonna be a process, i've never modded anything, so ive gotta pick a guitar (which means spending money) choose pickups (which means spending money) and get them installed (which means spending money) yeeeah, gonna be a minute, lol.

but ive got a cheap acoustic that im semi-practicing on now, maybe i could post some videos up.

Do it (the vids, I mean). I might try to get some resonator vids up soon. I'll see how my week goes. Maybe hit some open G stuff as well.

If you can do basic soldering, you can wire a guitar. It's like paint-by-numbers... umm... except wih wire and solder and stuff... other than that, it's EXACTLY like paint by numbers.
