Mississippi Fred McDowell
1904 - 1972
Fred started playing slide with a pocket knife, then he made a slide from a beef rib bone, later he switched to a glass slide for its clearer sound.

WHICH SLIDE SHOULD I USE ?
Everything about playing slide is up to the individual slide player, try out a number of different slides till you find the one that suits you, some of the earliest exponents of the art used bits of bottles and knives to get a sound. Today, slides come in a variety of sizes to suit most hands. MORE >
