How to play "Slides from Thoughtless Time" by Franco Morone
I'm trying to learn the song "Slides from Thoughtless Time" by Franco Morone.
The song is relatively easy to play. But there is one thing I'm not sure about.

My songbook says the tuning is DADF#AD.
According to the book the following notes (without the bass) are played with the slide:

-4--2
-----
-3--1
-----
-----
-0---

Is it possible to hold the slide in a way to play this with the slide? Or is
it only possible to play the higher note with the slide?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Christian

You can angle a slide to play different frets - it takes a lot of practice to make it sound clean, but for something like this where there is only one fret difference it isn't too tricky.

What kind of guitar are you playing it on? On a lap steel it is much easier than on a conventional guitar, as you have to twist your hand a fair bit.
