If Bobert plays his electric slide guitar, naked,whilst taking a shower(every 6 months,wether he needs one or not)he ain't going to need
to change no light bulb!


He'll be just another "flash in the pan".

I'll get me coat

"How many slide guitarist does it take to change a light bulb?"

almost an infinite number ????

However many are in the room taking it in turns to run the bulb up and down their guitars
deciding if it sounds any better than a beer bottle neck !!!??

It depends on the slide guitarist's specific style.

   He may play acoustic or electric.

      If acoustic, he may play bottleneck or lap-style.

         If bottleneck, he may play on a regular acoustic guitar, a wood-bodied resonator guitar, or a metal-bodied resonator guitar.

         If lap-style, he may play on a modified regular acoustic guitar, a Dobro, or a Weissenborn style guitar.

   If electric, he also may play bottleneck or lap-style.

         If bottleneck, he may play on a regular electric guitar, or the amplified version of a resonator guitar.

         If lap-style, he may play on a lap steel or a pedal steel.

I count that to be ten different ways to play slide guitar. We slide players can't even make up our minds how it should be done and you want to know how many of us it takes to change a lightbulb?

This is Bobert we're talkin' about here. He wets his finger before testing light sockets. But he knows his way around a slide guitar.

No Mate - One to change it , three to sing (In Harmony) what a wonderful light bulb it was , and the other twenty to moan about how much better it would have been if it hadnt been electric

About a half dozen. One to effect the change and the others to talk about how they could do it better.
