Maybe it's just me, but when I look for something, I tend to not find it. I've found the way to find the thing I was looking for before is to look for something else. I won't find the something else, but invariably I find the thing I was looking for before.
What I was looking for was a Bonnie Raitt music video with a harmonica player that just ripped his solo up. Borepatch's post dredged this memory from my mind.
What I found instead was a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn she did in Austin. "Pride and Joy".
Stevie Ray's guitars were custom built. The strings on his guitars were of a heavier gage than what I play on my acoustics. He could bend baling wire just shy of a C sharp with his pinky finger.
I digress.
I've attempted to learn how to play a steel slide on a six string. I failed. Bonnie, like a true professional makes it look effortless. I cannot even begin to describe the deftness of touch playing a slide on a guitar requires.
