These are great suggestions and I will see what I can do about a few specific lessons that take slide playing to a higher level, maybe Leo Kottke even. Specific song requests would be helpful.

Hi Michele,
I totally agree with the slide guitar lessons. amazing grace and if not for you are not songs that reaches me musically so I have not put much attention to them (even though Amazing grace has a lot of information about slide).
Songs with full sliding chords or mixture of chords and picked notes, slided notes and all of this are found in blues. This takes me to my request and I think it would be in line with Michele's request.
I think this site deserves a blues section. There are many blues songs but they are listed per author (you have to search for blues in the lesson but it does not make it a blues place).
There is already a blues introduction in the genius section. So a blues section can already be done by creating a section to group all the lessons per type let say intro, shuffle, finger style and maybe add some Chicago blues and a full slide section. I would see the slide section with all the intro, to choice of slide as explained in Amazing grace with a deeper demonstration of the sounds and where they apply better , the type of strings best suited for slide and as you mentioned, Michele, alternate tuning slide songs. It could also include basic slide exercises with the tabs from classic songs to get started with slide. I would love to see a few songs with a Dobro like travelling blues for example. Also example of songs that can be made more slide oriented like before you Accuse me of Eric Clapton that Neil did a great lesson on.
