  Sol Hoopii Yet to be rediscovered by contemporary slide fans, some of best sliders of all time were the Hawaiian greats, like Sol Hoopii. Forget the slo-mo Hawaiian tourist music, Sol was HOT! Rivaling the Indian players in technique, Sol had all the chops and then some. Our buds at Brad's Page of Steel made this great page for Mr. Hoopii.

  Arlen Roth If you've never heard of Arlen Roth, singer, songwriter, producer, teacher, guitarist and session ace, and if you never heard any of his solo albums, or watched any of the outstanding instructional videos from his Hot Licks production company, then you MUST go out, right now, and buy his new Drive it Home CD. Aside from being a beautifully produced and performed acoustic guitar recording, his solo take on Layla is a masterful rendition that beats out Clapton's Unplugged version.

  Roy Rogers Roy is an underrated west coast based slide guitarist, composer and producer. Underrated unless you're John Prine, Tom Waits, Emmy Lou Harris, Arlo Guthrie, Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith, Jerry Jeff Walker, John Lee Hooker or the many others who recorded with Roy.
