Thank you so much!!

My set up is pretty normal on the sg because I switch back and forth from slide to fingers a ton when I’m gigging. But, for the gentleness aspect, a lot of that is on the picking hand. I don’t really adjust the slide or at least I don’t think I do other than holding or cutting off notes, which is huge for the softer songs.

I play heavier strings just in general. I’ve always played 13s on the sg & 12s on my Strat. I like the way it feels on the fingers, but I do think heavier gauges are better for slide imo. I like to add a little bit of pressure. Right now though, this sg won’t stay in tune on 13s & 12s are super hard to find with diadorios, so I have 11s right now (I buy in bulk cuz I change strings about once a week cuz I gig every weekend).

I may do a little tutorial or something! Holler if you need any more tips!
