Joe, you've obviously seen the same Stefan Grossman video as me. Infact he makes the point that the heavier the slide the greater the sustain. That a cheap guitar has less overtones & harmonies than a "good guitar" so is ideal. I use an Hohner which has an action like a cheese cutter. S.G. recommends an old "Harmony Stella"- yeah right as if you're gonna find one of those easily. BTW typical tunnings are open G (DGDGBE) and open D (DADF#AD. Sorry if i'm teaching grandma to suck eggs!
