I dont know whether to be insulted that Clod was so quick to point out the error.....or flattered that Cic thought I was Clod to start off with.

For a good, likely deliberate, use of the slide-sound, listen to the opening bars of the live version of Smoke On The Water on Made In Japan. They put them on the backbeat. The lead guitar, I think, and on the wrapped strings.

i love the bands that deliberately and prominently use the finger sound as part of a riff, not always appropriate, but for for any "balls to the wall" music (i don't know where that one came from), it can be extremely complimentary specially when honed into a fine art.. ie: zakk wilde
probably not so useful with say, i dunno... kenny burrell
haha

I second that motion: my favorite example of "playing dirty" is Zakk Wilde, song "Speedball".

Playing an instrument is an art, and art is defined as "it's all good, unless it isn't." If it sounds good, keep it; if not, practice harder.

I'm a newbie player myself, so my playing is always unintentionally messy. Sometimes it sounds OK, but when I'm practicing, I try to play precisely. If I can get that down, then I'll be able to re-insert some dirt with some degree of reliability and "art".

Trivia - there is a midi patch in the GM spec called "fret noise" 121? which you could use to make a midi with guitar parts sound more realistic. So at least someone considers them part of the art.

Of course now that we don't care about the size of data storage or transmission anymore, midi is pretty much a dinosaur.
