@Corey...I was telling Mike the same thing :))...Right now It's difficoult for me to catch the slide the way you do...I've never seen it before but I think it's better too...I can hear the difference...I think it's only a matter of practice :)

@ Alex...thanks for uploading.  Try playing the lines much more slowly and pay extra attention to slide control.  I can hear that sometimes the slide is hitting notes that shouldn't be there.  If you pay more attention to playing very slowly, then it will sound better when you play faster.  Also try to put the fingers more together on your left hand so that they are almost on top of the slide (I think I talked about this earlier).

@Mike....thanks!!!!! The most challenging thing for me is to make that kind of ending sound live as much as possible...also the vibrato is difficoult and I still have problems in holding the slide as Corey explained in the last lesson!!!! And my resonator guitar is terrible....last week I tried a triolian national guitar....I don't even need to touch the strings...It played almost alone and It had an incredible sustain!!!! Wow!!!!! :)) then I Hope to see your video very soon....

Plus....check your email....we have good news!!! ;)

Hey Corey .. I'm getting it!  It's amazing what happens when you practice slowly and then sleep .. and try again the next day.  I will post a video later this week.

For me, it would help if you could break down the bridge really slow next week .. thanks!
