A little slide guitar video

in Plug My Stuff
I've just started posting my own stuff on youtube along with some older band videos, so thought I'd post this here just for a bit of fun. Nothing too professional or serious, really for my own enjoyment.
I have no affiliation with the company that makes the slide but I love the product and it was the reason for the vid.

    Hey, you nail Jump and that tricky Sweet Child transition lick so I'm kinda' jealous!
    The Lab one was what I call Lazy G tuning...just drop the A to G and the rest in standard.
    Slide is funny,  a lot of people say you need high action, heavy strings and open tunings but I'm not so sure. I use 9s (8s on occasion), a low action and standard tuning and it seems to work ok. Not saying either is better but you can literally play slide on anything.

    It's all just fun. Man, guitar is so awesome!!! :) What is the lab - do you work in a lab lol?
    Oh I'd hate high action playing...! I agree when I tried it the once I didn't mind if action was low. 
    Doesn't Tommy Emmanuel play with a ridiculously low action? 
    Keep doing videos! :D

    I do work in a lab. I work in grain storage quality dept.
    I think Tommy Emmanuel could play anything and make it sound like God crying. He has put some serious hours in. What a musician.
    You too, keep the vids coming :)
