Ciao Bluesy, That sounds pretty cool to me! Very nice indeed. Slide guitar is a very close relation to clarinet and even some horns - trumpet, tenor and alto saxophone. The great Hawaiian guitarist, Sol Hoopii, was very influenced by jazz clarinet, and quite a few electric slide players listen to horn players. Recently I have been working on So What by Miles Davis. I have studied the double bass (contrabass) part and I am adapting it to open tuned guitar. And then Miles Davis' trumpet solo is perfect for slide guitar. I enjoyed your playing very much. Encore! Excuse my Italian, I'm from England  I really should be able to speak Italian because I have toured there many times. I know your beautiful country very well. My first trip to Italy playing music was in 1987. Stay safe, stay at home and keep playing! Shine On Michael |

I forgot to say that your phrasing in After You've Gone is really good. You have a nice feel for that type of music.
My first trip to Italy was with a National Guitar quartet. We were called National Gallery and as well as touring all over Italy, we performed on Saturday night TV on Rai 1 in 1987. I have toured there with three of my own bands (Michael Messer Band, Second Mind, MOONbeat Band. Also in a duo with my rhythm guitarist Ed Genis and a trio with JC and Angelina Grimshaw. There may a few one-off shows with musicians that I can't remember! As well as Rai 1 I have done a few other TV shows there too. I have been to Italy many times.
Shine On
Michael

In a little catch up blues band (guitar, harmonica, bass and drums) I played bass for a few years ago we accidentaly fell in to playing Miles Davis "All Blues" one night - brave or what? The guitarist, who is pretty bl88dy good, played one chorus with a slide on a Gibson ES336 in std tuning. The audience loved it, even though we were s'posed to be doing Chicago stuff. Yeah, I know, I had the easy bit playing bass. I like this idea of playing cool jazz on a reso with a slide. |

Excuse me for my english, I'm from italy. Thank you I’m humbled by your playing. Beautiful. You have great control of that tube...I almost didn’t notice it was there :-) I like the quarter notes in some of the lightning fast slurs too...pretty, pretty, pretty cool 😎 More please :-) Re Michael’s point about the wind and brass instruments being comparable to slide, this is very interesting. I shall add that to my listening to piano “blues” to hear and learn interesting left hand bass parts with which to try and adapt to my guitar playing thumb 🤞🎸😊 it’d be cool to hear how you’re getting on with the Davis track, Michael. Take care all Lew |

Bluesy,
I enjoyed your playing very much, thank you.
I think that by playing with a slide we are somehow forced to play melodies, instead of rapid fire scales.
And just by using different kind of vibrato (short/long, slow/fast) the melodies are more...vocal-like.
I've always liked to hear people like Louis Armstrong who I can follow and with a strong vocal quality than fast virtuosos using too many notes. Nothing wrong with that; it's just my taste.
Ciao from another italian here,
Frank
