effect and is a great variation to the straight. Includes assembly charges, ready to install. 190lbs. As well as playground slides we also have embankment slides – scramble nets, rope ramps and wooden steps. These provide a challenging way to access an embankment slide (mound slides). We also offer a vast range of inclusive play equipment. A glass slide will have a warmer tone and a really smooth glissando between notes. Glass slides are a little less dense so will give you a bit less sustain. However, due to their buttery chime, glass slides pair really well with soulful, acoustic finger-style blues. When it is time for a new tube slide, it can be difficult to decide which tube you need, and which way the tubes should turn. It is important that the tube hits the ground at just the right angle so that children do not move through the tube too fast or too slowly. At the same time, the tube also needs to fit into the available area. In other words, there are many things to consider.

This allows them to move freely up and down each string, without worrying about having to play with a very light touch. The added benefit of this approach is that it also results in greater sustain and a more resonant sound. And both of these are key elements of effective slide playing. There are of course players who go lighter or heavier than this - but that range is fairly typical. This is because it allows guitarists to play and execute techniques like slides, bends and vibrato with relative ease. Choosing the best gauge to suit your playing style CHOOSING THE CORRECT STRING GAUGE FOR SLIDE GUITAR The ideas outlined here are suggestions. If you are new to the world of playing slide, then adopting a higher action and using heavier gauge strings will make learning and playing slide easier. Adopting a low or moderate action for slide guitar is challenging for most players, and especially for those earlier in their playing journey. When you play slide you move laterally over the frets. And whilst you are unlikely to be thinking about exerting downward force on the string (as when you fret a note) the slide that you use will be pressing down on the string.Since it’s so weightless, it works great on electric guitars and acoustics with a lower action as it won’t rattle off the fretboard like a heavy slide would. Unlike glass, metal won’t smash, so taking this on the road is a safe bet. When all is said and done, you should expect to spend about six hours on this project from start to finish. You may spend a little more time if you need to adjust the length of the pipes. Is It Difficult To Build a Tube Slide? For example, if you are only playing slide, then you can take a more aggressive approach to your setup. You can use heavy gauge strings, and set your guitar with a high action. In this way you can play slide without any fear of the slide rattling against the strings. You will also enjoy the tonal benefits of heavy gauge strings and a high action.

There is however, one more significant topic that is worth discussing to help you on your slide playing journey. And that is how to set your guitar up to play slide. There are many types of playground slides to choose from; free standing, embankment or tube slides.

Yes, you can definitely build a tube slide with your kids. This is a great way to spend some quality time together while working on a fun and rewarding project.

Generally speaking, you don’t need a different slide to use for your acoustic and electric. A slide is pretty universal and will work on both types of guitar. However, there are a few things to consider that may be beneficial. Commercial grade spiral sliding fun. One-piece open spiral slide design with integrated hood. Ships with metal plate for exit support and 5" diameter full length extendable support pipe for inground installation. In those articles I run through the various different guitar slides out there, and some of the most common open tunings that you will encounter when playing slide. I also cover the slides used by a range of iconic blues slide guitarists, to help give you inspiration when trying to decide which slide is right for you. In short, slide guitarists typically use heavier gauge strings. For many players, this is from a technical standpoint. However it also does a lot to improve tone. Heavy gauge strings increase sustain and give these players a full and resonant tone. And this allows them to hit the long, singing notes that sound so beautiful when played by slide guitarists.

Ariel Posen is one of the most revered slide players today. Hopping on board with The Bros. Landreth in 2013, Posen’s ear-catching phrasing is most notable when playing with his signature slide. Joey Landreth does also tune down to open C - which greatly reduces the tension across his strings. However as noted in this article here, this still equates roughly to the tension of a set of .013 strings in standard tuning. Lowering the action significantly however, can prove problematic. If you drop your action too low it will result in fret buzz and notes choking out, as your strings will have no room to vibrate. Commercial Playground Tunnels and Tubes Made Easy...
