Talk:Slide Guitar

Merge proposal
I just undid a change which deleted all content from this article and redirected it to Slide guitar, which in turn followed a delete request labelled "there is already an article about this".

Let's be clear: this article, Slide (guitar) purports to be about a small piece of equipment (a slide) that can be used to play the guitar. While slide guitar purports to be about the style of music that results when a guitar is played with a slide (though it does include a section "Equipment"). There may be scope to merge them, but perhaps not, since this is an article exactly comparable to guitar pick.

I therefore neither support nor oppose the proposal, but have put it in place to generate discussion. Notinasnaid 08:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This merge has been rejected previously, I can't locate previous discussion unfortunately, but there has been lots. Part of the problem is that the terminology varies from place to place and style to style, see lap slide guitar for example. Lap slide guitar appears to be the standard term for this style (or group of styles), but it uses a steel not a bottleneck. Lots going on! Andrewa 01:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
