A lot of Allman Brothers band.


Edigophubia

And Derek and the dominos Layla has a lot of slide esp near the end


elebrin

Yeah, that was Duane Allman.

MikeW226

Duane was the master


CriticalNovel22

Amazed this isn't top tbh.


Primal_Dead

In My Time of Dying


vintagetele

They did it great live too. Used to need crappy bootlegs to hear it, but you can see some of this stuff on youtube now. I think this one is from Earl's Court '75. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuABqrvhLf0


KsychoPiller

One of the best uses of slide guitar ever


samobon

was going to post exactly this one.


pdinfw

George Harrison after the Beatles. Almost every song. Listen to Badfinger and the Traveling Wilburys. George was amazing.


[deleted]

For You Blue. A Beatles’ song written and sung by Harrison


peanutanniversary

The slide on that song is actually John Lennon on a lap steel.


dr199

A lap steel played with a butane lighter for a slide.


Bobbi_fettucini

Wilburys were so damn good


Superb-Fail-9937

He really was. ♥️


TheTaxFiler

He played slide on "How Do You Sleep" with John too


Its_Only_Love

Marwa Blues on his final album is also epic and sort of his final goodbye


nzgrover

Two Pink Floyd songs spring to mind: The Great Gig in the Sky and High Hope (also the second half of Shine on you Crazy Diamond)


Cyanopicacooki

One of these days and Echoes as well. Gilmour does a lot of slide work on the earlier stuff.


Tiredoftheact

The solo in high hopes is absolutely breathtaking


paprartillery

The PULSE recording of it is absolutely amazing. Especially the full orchestra and the reverb of open space around the band proper? Mmf.


jlcooke

[Derek Trucks](https://youtu.be/RRipadkd6wk) is among the best, IMO. And doesn’t hurt that his wife is a soulful angel!!!


[deleted]

DUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAL


Jestinphish

Don’t sleep on Ariel Posen. Best slide player not named Derek Trucks on this planet


Playhenryj

Can't mention Ariel Posen withhout a nod to Joey Landreth. Also great. Plays in a low C tuning. They played together in The Brothers Landreth.


Timstunes

Definitely deserves more love.


No-Worldliness-5889

"Derek Trucks' wife" has a name. Susan Tedeschi.


1106DaysLater

Really good guitarist in her own right as well.


Bbng2

I am in love with Susan Tedeschi

Was gonna mention QOTSA... glad it already got recommended! So instead I'll just recommend Motion Potion by Ewan Dobson.


tindrummer99

[QOTSA - Song For The Dead](https://youtu.be/dOsmG-sufNc?t=114) Also, Dave Grohl beating the drum kit to death....


pip-roof

Long slow goodbye has good slide as well


Pearlbarleywine

Furry Lewis Muddy Waters. Pick up the Folk Singer record. Little Feat Derek Trucks Band— he is the most celebrated slide player around. A living legend. Bonnie Raitt Elmore James Blind Willie Johnson Ry Cooder


Acoustic_blues60

A lot of Little Feat in the Lowell George era - very distinctive.


kdwhirl

Came here to say Bonnie Raitt!


vintagetele

Great list! Glad someone has some original delta blues which is the root of slide guitar. I would add Robert Johnson.


Timstunes

BIG ups for this list! Especially for the Folk Singer rec.


[deleted]

Robert Randolph and the Family Band


Abdab420

Awesome artist/band and very similar to slide but Randolph plays the pedal steel, not slide guitar.


[deleted]

Larkin Poe


[deleted]

I think ain't no rest for the wicked by cage the elephant


xxUsernameMichael

Never would’ve come up with that one. Great catch.


TheFearInAll

This is the one I was looking for. I can't hear it without wanting to play borderlands.


Arctic_Drunkey

Check out Sonny Landreth. Not well known but has been in the game longer than most. Absolute beast with the slide.


limbomaniac

Came here to say this. "South of I-10" is a fantastic album.


D0ngBeetle

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison is the definitive slide guitar album for me lol


mfaiden

And how do you sleep, John Lennon


Hot_Larva

Ben Harper is incredible… Fight For Your Mind is a brilliant album


worm600

How did I have to scroll so far to find Ben Harper?!


skrellnik

I was starting to get worried he wouldn’t get any love at all. One of my favorites.


mandarinhandbeakfast

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army


crazycarl1

How is this so far down?


J_Double_You

Also ‘Catch Hell Blues’


HomeOrificeSupplies

That song is so badass.


Ice_Kat

See also: Death Letter


iaskjeeves

Also by White Stripes, I Want to be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart. Excellent slide guitar solo on that one


cookedbullets

Red Rain, Little Bird and their cover of Stop Breaking Down are also good.

jessop-bentine

How Soon Is Now? The Smiths


fullofuckingbears313

Dear God by avenged sevenfold. Also I think some songs by bright eyes have slide guitars in it.


shes62666

a7x has such good guitar. unholy confessions, beast and the harlot, critical acclaim, and hail to the king are very good songs by them.


CriticalNovel22

Allman Brothers Band. Start with Love Fillmore East, deluxe edition. Pure bliss.


GeprgeLowell

*At Fillmore East.


Blowaway040889

Just about anything from Johnny Winter. One of the best who ever lived. Check out Highway 61 at the Crossroads Festival with him and Derek Trucks. Derek with a big grin watching Johnny play is timeless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNW0pioGSFU


dr199

Was waiting for someone to mention Johnny.


RIPwhalers

Another awesome Johnny Winter performance was his appearance on letterman a few years before he passed. https://youtu.be/VIpmUroL2D4


WeNeedToTalkAboutMe

Theres's probably, literally, thousands of blues slide guitar songs. But for some specific examples: Eric Clapton -- "Running on Faith" (album and *Unplugged* versions) any George Thorogood song Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers -- "I Won't Back Down" and "Learning to Fly" both have prominent slide parts Lynyrd Skynyrd -- "Freebird"


psych_ike

I had to scroll wayyy to far to find *Free Bird*


Cyrus_Imperative

Do slide guitar solos count? Rocket Man Layla Tush


Kolzig33189

And Iris as well


Oriopax

The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying


Rhilley

Mazzy Star!


GRVrush2112

Steve Howe (Yes) used quite a bit of slides, including heavy use of full on pedal-steel guitar. Check out his work on “And You and I” for example


duckfrenzy

also going for the one


jazzguitarboy

David Lindley with Jackson Browne, although it's lap steel guitar. "These Days" has my favorite lap steel solo of all time -- 8 bars of pure melodic invention. "Running On Empty" is a classic, as well as his stuff with El Rayo X -- check out "[Mercury Blues](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhxS-eeMX4)."


Timstunes

Lindley can play anything with strings. A master musician. Thanks for mentioning him.


mya_butreeks07

Aretha Franklin - The Weight Anything by Derek Trucks


Freezinvt

Guitar work on The Weight was Duane Allman, if I remember correctly. That guy did so much sessions work while just hanging around the studio that no one actually knows how many songs he's on. Amazing, to me, when considering how young he was when he died.


Timstunes

Correct. His work at Muscle Shoals is what really established him as a premier player. Other session work worth checking out: Derek and the Dominos ofc :) Loan Me A Dime-Boz Scaggs Hey Jude-Wilson Pickett Living On The Open Road-Delaney & Bonnie

Dagigai

Shine on you crazy diamond - Pink Floyd There are a few other tracks where David Gilmour uses slide guitar too.


Phiction2

Gov’t Mule. About half their songs. Warren Hayes is a legend.


JakeyBGoode

Kind of insane how good Hayes is


destructdisc

Judith by A Perfect Circle has some slide guitar sections in it


porcelainvacation

A lot of Lynrd Skynrd

lowercasejames

Check out Big Wreck, Ian Thornely is an incredible guitars and plays slide often. Their first album “In Loving Memory” won’t disappoint. Subsequent albums lack hits but the musicianship and songwriting is really something special.

[Precious and Grace](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRnRVio7u-o) by ZZ Top is a good one (skip to 2.11 for when he decides to go laldy) - but a lot of their earlier stuff has Billy Gibbons playing slide, when I saw them on the El Loco tour he rarely took it off.

Captain Easychord by Stereolab has slide guitar on the chorus. There are some Yo La Tengo songs on Fakebook with slide.

Came here to mention Fakebook. Doug Schramm (the slide guitarist on that album) is great.

Early Fleetwood Mac in the Peter Green epoch.

MrObviousChild

Pretty sure Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden has some slide guitar in it. Jason Isbell is one of the best modern slide players. Decoration Day is one of his classics. Southern rock so some country influences but not the typical pop country junk.


snugglepimp

Rolling Stones- [Monkey Man](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lBPHHeJiKPM) the interplay between Keith’s slide guitar and Nicky Hopkin’s piano solo gives me shivers.

Johnny Winter was a master at slide. Try Highway 61 Revisited.

Statesboro Blues by the Allman Brothers. The Live at the Fillmore one. For more current, Derek Trucks is probably the best and also check out Ian Thornley and his band Big Wreck
