i’ve always been inspired by jack’s cleanliness and artistic creativeness when it comes to soloing with a slide, my question is, how exactly does he do it? how does he know what to play?

more specifically, what can i learn to make me more familiar with the slide and to utilize the sound it creates to get closer to my own version of a jack white solo? there isn’t much help on youtube and i just want to know how to even progress to that level of playing.

specifically the ones that inspire me the most are:

jack white - it’s rough on rats
the white stripes - let’s build a home (live on conan)

edit: lol i already have a slide and know open a tuning but thank you haha!

this friday i’m hosting a jam session with my buddy i’m starting a band with and this new drummer to see if he fits. what’s necessary for this? is PA necessary? i’m new to audio gear and stuff, and don’t own any type of PA.

should i try to do some kinda DIY thing for PA, should i get a budget PA system, should i just save up for a good PA? what PA should i get? i ask these questions because getting into the world of live sound for me has been difficult and isn’t very easy to navigate for me personally so i apologize if i’m scatter-brained.

anything helps, thank you.

i just bought my boss katana 100 gen 3 the other day, i haven’t really dove into the software side of it because i’m more into just the physical knobs side of things for tone, but how can i replicate that natural crunch sound that he has on his amp on songs like “archbishop harold holmes” and “old scratch blues” on my katana? my current setup is literally just the amp and a big muff pi for when i want crazy fuzz lmao
