Add a dash of spice to your playing 

Hi, I'm Kirk Lorange, I started playing guitar when I was 11. That was way back in 1961. I fell in love with slide guitar the instant I heard it and after years of playing in traditional open tunings–I tried them all–I reverted to good old Standard and Dropped D. I know the layout of my fretboard in standard tuning well and I like to know exactly what I'm playing at all times. I quickly discovered that all flavors (major, major7, minor, minor7, 9th, 11th, dim, aug, sus4 ...) can either be played outright or strongly alluded to in standard tuning.

Playing in standard tuning makes it very easy to blend your normal playing and slide into one very spicy hybrid style. It surely is the most fun and free way of making music on these wonderful instruments. 

This online course is taken from the DVD I have been selling for years, with a whole bunch of new stand-alone lessons.

 

Here is a video I uploaded to YouTube in 2007. It's been viewed a half a million times. It's a good example of what you can do in standard tuning wearing a heavy brass slide on your pinkie. All the techniques I use are covered in this course and I also sell the custom-made slides, which are a little shorter than usual. You can see how I merge both normal playing and slide playing. It's a whole lot of fun!

The “If you want to learn to play slide guitar from the basics or to just get better and play more like a pro this course is the ticket. I discovered Kirk Lorange's playing on youtube and loved his growly slide guitar. I went to his website and bought the "How to play Slide Course" and one of the cool brass slides and I have become a better slide guitar player and learned so much. The course gives you the luxury of learning at your own pace and repeating lessons as often as you need. Kirk gives so many little tips that make you play better. Kirk is also very generous with all he knows about playing, strings, set up and the community you can join on the website is fantastic. I recommend this course highly.

After 50 years of playing guitar I decided to explore something different with guitar and something I wanted to learn for sometime. After watching Kirk play slide guitar on some of his videos, I decided to pursue my longing. So I bought Kirk’s Course on Learning to Play Slide; I also bought his quality finger slide. After watching the videos and fumbling with the slide technique, I reached a point of comfort using the slide and understanding the methods and techniques. It took time and practice but they were worth it. I still have a way to go to become proficient with playing slide but Kirk’s course and teaching style have given me the tools and knowledge to do so. I recommend this course to all you guitar players who want to learn slide and find more enjoyment with your music and a new skill..

I purchased a slide and the playing in standard and drop d tuning course. I found both to be excellent. The thick wall of the slide makes for great tone, and the size and weight for increased functionality. The instruction course is easy to understand and the knowledge imparted invaluable for anyone looking for a greater understanding of slide playing. I would have no hesitation in recommending both.

These are machined from solid brass to my specs. They have extra thickness at the fingertip end for more mass. Mass=Tone/Sustain.

They come in two lengths: short for standard tuning, long for open tunings.
