Very informative and great playing! I’m a slide beginner and trying to decide if I should use pinky or ring finger. I’d like to be able to play in standard tuning. Do you find one of these fingers works better for standard tuning chord voicings than another?

[@J.J.Murphy]

Thanks! Hmm for me I like having the slide on my third finger so I can get a longer reach using my pinky for chord voicings. That being said, I think most folks find it easier to voice chords with the slide on your pinky, but everyone has their own preferences for sure.

@@J.J.Murphy I will certainly play around with it. Thanks for the reply. 👍

[@BottleneckMoses]

Are you using a volume pedal for the swells?

[@J.J.Murphy]

Yep!
