Seriously, you'll probably get good at it really quick! It is so much fun. First time playing slide for me too. I bought a kit for $24 USD on Amazon. You pretty much just string it, doesn't sound that great in an amp, but acoustic sound is great IMO. I made a couple small modifications. I cut the bolt head at the bridge so my slide stopped hitting it and played around with different sized bolts for different actions. Ordering another kit soon for a fretted version. If you get one, let me know and I'll send you some links for tutorials, and tablature. I might start posting some videos on Hive if I can just get a little cleaner sound out of it. I'm a little sloppy but it's been at least 10 years since I touched a guitar, let alone play slide.
