Sounds like you're off to a pretty good start axe. Tone sounded very much like George Thorogood.
Had to vote Cormack tho. His entry sounded a bit more complete.
Maybe sounds a bit abstract, but I don't know how else to put it.

thanks alot Naifuzan....... i really need to hear some more slide players..this was based off the slide technique of Zeps "In my time of Dying"

You should listen to Gear Jammer with George Thorogood. It's one of my favourite electric slide tunes!

I liked yours Axe, ....maybe too long but great. Cormack,COOL!! that sounded very good but it lacks some structure on the whole thing, more a solo than a composition.

Good work guys. 1 vote to AxeShredder

wow this was a tough one here.. axe i liked your tone alot better cuz it was a tad heavier and i think the slide sounds killer with a tone like that... cormack i think had a better grasp and control on using the slide itself overall... so i think ima have to go with him on this one...but they were both cool and i mess with a slide also and i suck at it so i know how hard it is.. it really makes you appreciate how good some of those guys are that use them and make it look soo easy

I had to go with cormack. Axeshredder's was prefourmed better. But cormack's tone was better and he took alot more chance's. IMHO in good slide playing every note is like a leap of faith. You gotta take it right to the edge and be fearless.

thanks everyone for comments pos and neg. Cormack was truly fearless in his blues. I was scared! its like being experienced in one hand and a beginner in the other. Truly a learning experience

Well done Cormack

I suck big-time at slide. That and playing a flawless version of 'Riviera Paradise' are my tasks for this year on the guitar. As a first post Axe, that was pretty good but as has been said, a bit overlong on the same groove. The tone was superb as ever.

Cormack, yours was much more adventurous and shows how bloody difficult it is to get a degree of pitch with the bloody thing!

Anyway, I went one way but mucho respect to both of you.
