<p>Check my video about the basic ergonomics of holding and playing the guitar. It majors on barre chords, but the basic principles of good posture won't do you any harm. If you still have real pain and problems, try lap-style slide, as it puts your hands in a much more relaxed and natural position. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4KVbfg2dDbk?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

<p>On a Justin Johnson video he shows that if you wrap your thumb around the neck like you are holding it,that your slide wont be straight.He says to put thumb behind the neck so it is pointing towards the headstock and that makes the slide straight automatically.</p>

<p>Hi James, I can imagine how you feel mate, I had a great brass slide, but playing slide in the band caused pain after a few hours. I drilled it full of holes, away from the playing surface [see my photo in my recent post slide city and it was a lot better].</p>
<p>I would suggest a glass slide, you can get thin walled ones and they are so light you would not know you had it on, but they do break easily. There are also 1/2 slides available, imagine a large metal fingerpick.</p>

<p>You could set up a 3 stringer as a lap slide and play with a bar.</p>
