Intonation:
While on a regular guitar you position your fingers between the frets to play a note or chord, a slide guitar has no frets,
so your slide becomes the fret. This simply means that you must play the note on the fret marker, not between them.
See example below.

tuning is OPEN-E
“E” “B” “A” “G” “C#”
Picking:
Slide Technique:
Many players use finger picks. You can
find these special picks at your local
music instrument dealer. The technique
used is a combonation of plucking and
struming while muting unplayed strings.
Moving the slide at an angle across the
strings allows for harmonic changes to
your major chords. It is often important
to mute the strings between the slide
and nut to prevent string buzz. Moving the bar along the fretboard
perpendicular to the strings is the same
as playing chords. Also notice muting of
the strings betwen the slide and nut. You can also angle the slide to affect
individual strings, leaving the rest open
for chording. Note muting the strings
between the slide and nut.
Standard picking works the same as on
a regular guitar. Resting your hand on the
bridge, it is important to mute the strings
you are not playing to prevent feedback
at high volume levels.
