                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I see this thread is old, but it's relevant to me because I'm just getting into using drop D for one-finger power chords.  I slide them up and down the neck.  I was wondering how a slide would work for this.  Because my middle finger is the strongest and longest, I would use the slide there.  But if I wanted to use power chords on the 5th string, I'd use the slide on my index finger for the root, and my ring finger and pinky for the 5th and octave notes.  I'd still barre all the strings but hit the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings. Any takers on this idea?]]></content:encoded>

I only play slide on my middle finger for the same reasons too. fretting after the slide is great, i do play in open E alot though. but yeah when my pinky became too damaged to fit a slide on i cut a hole in the wrap i was in and popped a slide on my middle finger. gotta learn sometime, might as well if its the only finger youve got haha]]></content:encoded>
