    I should point out you’re already doing pretty good. Also, don’t use the bottleneck in the technique I described, just the finger. lol take care.

    Good point…I do have some other videos somewhere around this one that are more lesson-oriented rather than an intro. I’d agree with you with the ceramic slide…I suppose, in the video, I voiced my own opinion a bit strongly! I’ve added an annotation to correct myself…thanks for your insight, really. It’s just that some people on Youtube insult first, THEN invite themselves to give tips…

    Hmmm. This seems like an Introduction, not a actual lesson on playing. That ceramic slide could have some use there buddy, a short sustain isn’t bad depending on your style.
