Hey, I completely forgot to pick out a slide this weekend 
I already thought that the Blim would now come with this unit with the Slide…stupid me 
I’m sure I won’t be the only one without a slide…
oh yes, and I’ll also buy a guitar like that … of course 
Greetings and have fun playing this stuff 
Hi Rogier!
Just a quick warning… I own a guitar that looks exactly like that one. It’s beautiful. It plays well. It also outweighs my Les Paul Custom by about 2 or 3 pounds! It’s by far the heaviest guitar I’ve ever picked up! My leg falls asleep if I play for very long because it digs into my thigh! Probably not the one for anyone concerned about the weight!!!
Have Fun!!!

Hi Tod,
Thank you…
Well, for as long as I know, that’s been a guitar that I’ve wanted to play ever since that album Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits came out…and I know a friend of mine had that guitar and I held it as a kid a couple of times in my hands , but I never had expected it to be that heavy 
Well, then I don’t have to think about that anymore ,just a slide 
Greetings

FWIW Just noticed that Justin’s on screen tab differs from the “official” tab provided for this song.
The lesson has bar 5 showing open B string being played before the triplet.
Where as the “official” tab shows the note B played on the G string 3rd fret.
Threw me a bit after watching the lesson and then switching to the tab for pratice.
For info only - as yes its the same note - so no real comments needed.
PS @mods I have shown as little as I can to avoid breaching any copyright rules, please amend if needed or just delete the post.
Fret 3 on the G string is Bb, actually.
FWIW, I play a song (My Creole Belle) which sort of interchanges B and Bb at times, so probably either one of these sounds good here, too.
Oops, correct.
My bad and maybe why I felt it was off compared to the lesson !
They are in fact the same note since this is played in open D tuning D-A-D-F#-A-D. That makes open second string an A note and third fret third string also an A note.
One thing I noticed on Justin’s bass line is that he opts for the 3rd fret on the sixth string which is an F whereas there is no F elsewhere in the song. All the other notes not counting the “slide throughs” are F#, G, A, C and D (guess that makes it the key of G if my PMT studies are paying off 
). I’ve been opting to play the 4th fret on the sixth string, but like Justin says, “Make it your own”.
I have been working on this song for the past few weeks and hope to get it down for this month’s open mic. I still have quite the ways to go though.
