      I Love Leo Kottke!!. I play a bunch of his pieces, but my favorite to play is Vaseline Machine gun which can utilize the ring slide. . I usually end my set with that one, and i play it with metal finger picks so but absolutely hammers the notes. amazing player.

      lts all the same licks over and over . Theres almost no diverse melody to swamp. True he's great at that but when he creates a great melody lll be impressed. His technique is spot on for swamp slide but not much else. ln the blues heyday of the 2000-2010 period he was a legend. l want to hear a good song from him.

    nice job Justin - I led the engineering team for a high end vibration sensor company and we used tungsten masses very specifically to increase the "sustain": of some devices. So I wanted to chime in and validate that there is real vibration science behind this. Im not much of a slide player but going to pick one up!

      @@gj4312 In part, I think it's "they've always been like that". But being able to make contact with more strings means that you could, if you wanted, play some chords with the slide, and glissando them up and down the neck. Which - at least for me - has always been a pretty limited set of circumstances, and has never made it into a song I've presented to the band or tried for an audience.

    This is why it is best to play the full the slide on the little finger - keep the the other three for the fingerboard. Some guitarists have a real blind spot about the little finger.

    These are great! JJ reviewed a similar product from Black Mountain a while back, so I bought one on his recommendation. All at once I could incorporate 1 and sometimes 2 string slide sound riffs at will. As an east coast Piedmont, Country Blues, Ragtime player, I don't use open tunings much at all. Still, I loved the slide sound and wished I could use it. The ring slide gives me access to the sound I never could get before in standard tuning. I like to keep up a steady bass thump, so the keys of A and E have worked best for me. But I'm no JJ.
    I'd love it if you would create a video, or do a workshop on the use of the ring slide in standard tuning.
    All in all, I can't recommend these highly enough as a great way to blend fingerstyle and slide playing.
    Thanks, Justin.
