    I was thinking about buying a slide and just messing around with it. Is this advisable? Should I get a lesson or 2 first?

    Just tune your guitar to an open tuning and mess around with the slide. Preferably your action should be set a bit high for slide playing but I doubt you'll be playing slide all the time to warrant changing the action on your guitar. I play slide quite a lot and I've never bothered.

    I've been toying with this idea myself recently - anything to offer a bit of differentiation or deviation from song to song. I'm not an oasis fan but I always liked that song 'fade in/out' with Johnny Depp playing real simple slide guitar and another electric guitar and an acoustic driving along with chords at the same time. A real nice blend I always thought!
