THE TEMPLE OF THE KING - Rainbow

 
In my search for a simple tune that would help improve my (and hopefully your too) sliding along the neck, the solo from temple of the king winked at me :P . It is the perfect candidate - few notes, big spaces: the key for a successful first tune to play with a slide.
 
If you have no clue about how to play slide, consult my introductory article and video:
http://www.guitar.com/kimonf/blog/tutorial_slide_guitar
 
So here's the tab for this entry's tune :
temple of the king

 
Be warned. In the tab I have only noted the original recording's approximate techniques. I leave figuring out how to get from one note to the next to you. Use your ear to see what adds to and what takes away from the melody. If you have read my introductory article, you should be able to noodle around til you get it.
 
And here comes the video. The only reason I made it (and showed off my own incompetence) is that not all of you may have the original record to listen to.
 
Enjoy!

This isn't quite what I have but it's the closest.

DR Strings Red Devil Light Electric Guitar Strings
Color doesn't matter. They sound and feel excellent, considering they are coated strings!

Dunlop Hoolahan Slide Medium
Light-weight and an excellent compromise between the heavy brass slides with the big sustain but clumsy control and the light and agile yet weak-sounding glass slides. It is also supposed to get out of your way simply by turning it around on your finger, but I can't do that with one hand.
