EXAMPLE 1 ALLMAN BROTHERS, LIVE FROM FILLMORE EAST (SLIDE STYLE)
CD TRACK 4
Actually, this only uses a bottleneck from the end of bar 4. Duane Allman was adept at incorporating slide playing with regular technique and was comfortable doing so in regular tuning, as here. Use a light slide on the third or fourth finger to allow switching between slide and conventional techniques.
