As some of you know I've started playing Slide Guitar. I was always fascinated by the sound a slide of metal or glass produces when put over the strings.

In the past I played slide guitar on some tracks, but mostly just for fun, to emphasize a ironic cliché country-esk tone.

I'm currently workin' on a little score for a new 3-minute-shortfilm of my girl that was shot this summer that is planned to be released in the beginning of 2014. I've chosen a folky vibe for the song with elements of a little country-guitar. So perfect for some lap steel-action.

To take it seriously I bought a so called "nut converter". This extender raises the strings, which is necessary for playing with a steel bar without producing bad noise when sliding over the strings. I installed it on an old tele and started improving my sliding skills, I've gotta long way to go fellas!
