I'm sure there's been some worse videos. I was watching some videos from a certain forum member today and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I've never had a lesson, I've just taught myself. I've been messing around with slides for four years now and I'm still nowhere close to being really good at it. It takes a lot of technique and you really have to relearn the fretboard if you use open tunings. Just within the last couple months has my slide playing started to sound semi-decent. The more you mess with it, the better you get. One tip I can give you, is you can't hold your hand still. If you want to hold a note (or multiple notes) with a slide, you have to keep it moving to get it to sound right.
