Description

Playing the guitar with a slide on one finger was a popular technique among country blues musicians and was later taken up electric guitar players in Chicago and by blues rock performers in the US and Britain.

All Blues from the Summer Room podcasts were edited and compiled by our good friend of Skidompha Library, Mark Addison.
