Slide 'n Glide...

[Sapient]

So, with all this "slide" excitement I decided to grab a few new different types to try out. I anticipate these will all be awesome. I got them all "pinky" size because it's the way I roll.

It's slide pandemonium! ... Slidemonium!
I too have been diving down the rabbit hole of slides.
Metal, glass, ceramic/porcelain, string height, tunings, techniques etc...
It's never ending!!

I spent that then way more than I should have anyway. They must cost a lot to make. Lol.

Are you picking any up? Which ones?

These are some of the ones that I use. The steel slide on the left is one that I turned on a lathe to fit over my ring finger knuckle. I use it on my Dobro. The Coricidin bottle is for electric guitars when using it on my ring finger. The two colored glass ones I'm still experimenting with. The glass one on the right is for my pinky, but don't use it that often. The Stevens Steel laying in the front is for my steel guitars.

Very cool! I thought that blue one was porcelain, but I can see through it. I decided to give porcelain and magnesium a shot this time. I've tried glass and it seemed to kill the vibration very quickly. Maybe it was just me ...it was a LONG time ago.

I have the glass one. I might pick up one of each type at some point. I need to learn more about it though.

I use a glass slide on my middle finger open G tuning most of the time

I have two Dunlop glass slides. One pinky and one ring finger sized. I spent less on two than these are for one!! I must be doing something wrong.

Actually, no.

I've been through using these since and actually acquired a few others. For me, the best slide is a slightly brushed brass standard type. Those ones you see up there fail for one minute reason or another.

Of course..... Doesn't matter $8 a piece or $40 a piece..... Don't know how to use them properly. Know the process, putting into action a whole other thing.

Only slide I own is a big ol heavy brushed brass one. Only gets used with this guy, and even then it's rare that it gets pulled out.

Very cool, bro.

Before I bought the two glass slides I considered using a 3/4” deep well socket from my 3/8” socket set. Only problem, couldn’t figure out how to get my round finger in the square hole.
