Issue 379 of Guitarist, on sale in print and digital forms from 7 March 2014, has a huge slide guitar cover feature with pro tips, slide-centric gear reviews, technique tutorials and our pick of the greatest slide albums ever made.

Martin Harley is one of Britain's top slide artists and a thoroughly decent chap to boot. As part of our slide special, we caught up with the dapper mojo-worker to talk about what it takes to get started and stay motivated in learning slide - including why a 12-string is a beginner's best friend, choosing gear that'll help you sound great, and how a bit of minor larceny from pubs can save your gig.

In this video, Harley shows you how to convert a cheap acoustic into the ideal guitar for getting started with lap steel or slide techniques.
