  Hello,
  I discovered an old Video of a little Slide. Unfortunately it is in some poor image and tone quality.

  Hi Dieter,
  
  what a nice Slide-Guitar you have there! Is it a National? Looking forward to see more of your slides. Thanks for posting.

  Hello,
  thank you for the friendly interest.
  
  It`s not a National, but a cheap Model (Harley Benton about 600€) with some modifications. It got a new high class Resonator insert and a not adjustable pickup inside the body. At the moment it is not often in use, so you can hear some strings clanging.
  
  Slide playing needs much feeling and for that I m too less practising at the moment, but I will try to improve.
  
  Mostly I play slide with open tunings. With normal tuning it doesn t work. Therefor I have already prepared my self-made E-Guitar with extra high Strings.
  Also here my greatest problem is the lack of time (as a retired Guy !!!???)

  That’s very cool Dieter. I love slide guitar and your’s look awesome. Personally I prefer use a lapsteel or a Dobro for sliding I think it is a bit easier, matter of taste a guess..
  Anyway. Cool post!
  
  Rock on'

  Oh my god, is there something you can not do?
  I thought of “Slide” years ago but never tried it. Still, I find it incredibly cool. I think about playing both; I mean in one track. You’re making me nervous. More than cool Dieter.
  
  Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.
