Hi everyone,
I have begun mucking around with a piece of steel tube on my guitar and am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a not to technical classic song with slide in it. I dont really care what sort of music, blues, rock etc just something not to hard and classic. I have found a few lessons for really basic licks and stuff but id love to work on a real song to.
So, any suggestions?

Rollin and Tumblin comes to mind.
I am tuned to open G.

"Dust My Broom."

"Little Red Rooster."

And if you learn the first and last of the three I just mentioned, you've learned a whole lot of other blues songs done to the same tunes, or very slight modifications. LRR is quite similar to several other Willy Dixon songs that Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf made famous, too.
