To draw the ball grip tighter with your right hand, to fade grip tighter with your left. Also an open stance, left foot a few inches behind right foot for rightys, can create a fade

Excellent.

Someone also mentioned that shaping your shots should only take place once you've established a consistent, proper golf swing. It's good to practice shaping shots, but you won't get the full benefit and reliability of shaped shots unless you've established a sound consistent golf swing.

I won't advocate in relying on buying new club/equipment to correct bad swings. If you have the money to spend and would like to get more from your game, see an instructor.

Fades and draws can be done in a few different ways. One is as noted above, the other as written in the article; while others may find angling the clubhead direction relative to the target at the top of the swing may also give you the desired result - while more powerful, it's a bit harder to become proficient with.

Slices happen when you cut the ball on impact. This happens when the the swing results in an outside-in path. Either your right elbow is hinging out and making you drop your elbows on the down swing, or your torso has gone ahead of the swing (you moved passed forward of the original address plane). Both are easily corrected.

Keep your swing comfortably compact, relax, and swing through the ball.

Have fun out there.
