DennisMiller Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I like Duane Allman too, but my favorite is someone you probably haven't heard of unless you read the back of the albums that list studio musicians. In Homestead, Florida is a guy I've gotten friendly with named Dana Keller. He and Laurie Jennings Oudin are a duo doing folky sort of concerts all over the country and if you look up Jennings & Keller on the web or on Facebook, you might enjoy something you never heard before. Dana has played with Clint Black, Stevie Wonder, Cheryl Crow and a bunch of others. Someone calls, they fly him to Nashville for a few days of work and fly him home again. His style is simple, toneful and his way of adding accents to Laurie's guitar playing in their original material is just incredible. Of course, I could listen to Laurie's voice all day, but we've been friends for years, so I'm probably prejudiced. One of my other favorite slide players is Dan Chesler from the St. Louis band Blues Inquisition. Unlike so many others, Dan plays in standard tuning on a Strat he doesn't set up with very high action. I've never seen someone with such flexibility to slide whole chords up and down the neck like he does while maintaining the slide and hand muting the way he does.

jdgm Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Lowell George, loved his style and playing. Sonny Landreth is amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I love Duane and Derek, but I've become so accustomed to their styles. I actually find the slide playing of Bonnie Raitt to be more refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually find the slide playing of Bonnie Raitt to be more refreshing. I hadn't thought about Bonnie Raitt. I love her work too, but then the nature of how she plays is like my friend Dana, simple, toneful and in perfect symphony with the melody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS44 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 +1. But if we're talking only standard 6 stringers- Derek Trucks This! I saw Robert a couple years back, he is one electric performer (he's also a freaking monster on that thing). If he doesn't count... Derek and then some.

I've never seen someone with such flexibility to slide whole chords up and down the neck like he does while maintaining the slide and hand muting the way he does. Was just watching a YouTube video the other day of some hot shot guitarist demoing a Fender or an Amp or something, and he was using something I hadn't recalled seeing before. He was in standard tuning and standard set up like Mr. Chesler that you mention. But he used a short slide on his ring finger that was only about 3/4 of an inch long and fit between his knuckles. This way he was able to bend all his fingers normally and play normally, but then would just slide up on two stings, usually the D and G for a really cool back and forth between slide and normal playing. Not true slide guitar in the traditional sense, but very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
