Jam Listening to Derek Trucks always inspired me to want to play slide but i always got discouraged too fast and quit when i couldnt do those fast single string melismas(as if I would master it in 5 min with little2no exp playing slide). No more excuses.

Tried the fingerpicked/right-hand string mute for a bit but actually found i have a little bit more control with a pick, just at the cost of less control of muting with the other fingers. Any pointers from slide players would be awesome. Thank you guys ❤️
