Absolutely right and the old field recordings prove it. Fred MacDowell's first session in Como, Mississippi had him playing a beat up acoustic with masking tape holding the back on and a butter knife tied across the frets for a capo. There is no better example of slide guitar to be heard. He could make that thing talk and sing.
