Hi All

I'm presently taking slide guitar lessons from a talented delta blues player. I have played guitar for years, using a pick. Obviously this is a big change for me and find my right hand lagging behind. With this type of music/style the right hand keeps time, plays bass lines along with melody, and mutes unwanted strings ect.

What I'm looking for are recommendations for songs that drive home the use of the thumb for bass and timing. Presently using "Spanish Fandango" (?) and "Blackbird" and "Betty and Dupree". I'm using open tunings either Spanish or Veatapol.

Also is there any way to practice / excercise right hand without driving ones spouse crazy. (BE NICE - Talk about a straight line).

Any Suggestions

Thanks for any help

Casey
