I prefer fingerstyle on the whole
not to say that I dislike slide, but I don't dig it quite so much.

I get where you are coming from. Because I mostly come from playing rock and metal, and these days play a lot of blues based stuff it's tricky to seperate the two. It's a different approach. I'm only really now getting to the point where I'm good enough (and confident enough) that what I'm feeling comes through nicely, without sounding shite or like I'm rubbish.

One of my very favourite guitarists is Jerry Reed (of Eastbound and Down fame). Check out a video on youtube of him and Chet Atkins playing a tune called Jerry's Breakdown. Fucking marvellous. Then watch the video of two guys playing it on one guitar.
