@@BryanClark-gk6ie Thank you for this compelling and inspiring story, Bryan. Interestingly enough, I had an almost identical experience. Thank you, Jetslide! 😂
Yeah it can be a little tricky if you're not used to it. It's one of those things ya gotta keep working with. Just like anything, I suppose. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Cheers!
I love your music brother!!! Wish I had see you using this…. I would have asked you what it was…. You hide that thing so well when you play!! Amazing talent you inspire me to play every day man
What about size? Do I have to know my ring size? Women’s fingers are smaller than men’s. Is it gonna wobble all over the place when I’m chording from being too loose?
That's a good question. From my experience you want it a little bit loose so it doesn't impede your ability to chord or play single notes. Check their website for sizes. What I do is if the ring is too tight I'll loosen it by hand until it feels comfortable. I've also got a sequel ti this video that goes into that a bit more. I'll put a link below.
Dang it! Sorry to hear that. Yeah, when you find that perfect one, and then, boom: shattered. What a drag. Hope you find one that works almost as well, and thanks for checking out the video. 🙏🏻
@ haha, that’s how it sounded. Couldn’t be too mad as that friend introduced me to Blue Cheer(some other great bands too)and we had some great jams together. Any case, I’ve been playing in an open tuning since around 2011, so it’d be nice to see what I can do now with one. I have some old whiskey bottles and a nice bottle cutter, probably time to make a new one. I’ll be sure to check out more of your uploads meanwhile and I’ll let you know when I find one, cheers!
It took some practice and experimentation and I still like to go back to my pill bottle for most of my slide playing just for the difference in tone. I have used the Jet slide for over twenty years.
@TwinCitiesOxygen If you can, try to use whatever finger or fingers are behind the bar to lightly touch the strings. That's the basic idea, but it takes a little doing to get comfortable with the execution.
@@TheMightyOrq I did!! and super informative..a story you might find interesting....I got the jet slide because of you, many moons ago, but it got shelved for other things...but I found myself wanting that quick change of regular to slide..I dug around and finally found the damn thing..but had no inclination how to operate it..I actually just punched in to google "how to use the jet slide" and up pops the mighty orq!! Serendipity baby!! Lots of love
Hey thanks for the comment and for checking out the video. So it actually works well to bar chords if you're in an open tuning, and your chord is over one fret. Happy sliding!
I haven't tried this one. I pretty much only use the Jetslide, and have been playing with one since the late 90's. For the variety of slide styles that I play I need something that can cover all the strings for barring/chording. It seems like the ring slides are great for single notes or maybe double stops, but I like the way a Jetslide can cover the whole fretboard. Thanks for the comment!
I don't play guitar, but I wonder if I could ask something: Would it be possible to use "thimbles"? Or maybe hard-tipped gloves? (Isn't that basically what Tony Iommi does, anyway?) Would that limit your playing style?
That's an interesting question. Yeah, it is my understanding that Tony Iommi used thimbles on the fingertips of his fretting hands. My take is that for slide, it's a bit impractical, but the only real limitation is one's imagination. And time to practice. The Hawaiian steel guitar style (and what we know today as steel guotar) was invented by Hawaiian Joseph Kekuku, when his pocket knife slid down his guitar strings accidentally. So hypothetically thimbles could work. Maybe you've just invented a new way to play slide!
Hello! Thanks for your video. I wanted to ask you if you can tell me the difference between jetslide brass and stainless. Is it an aesthetic issue? Or is it that brass is indicated for a particular style of music and that stainless is indicated for another style of music? Thank you for your time!
Great question, and thank you for the comment! In my opinion a traditional over-the-finger brass slide tends to have a darker, more bass heavy tone while steel has more brightness. With the Jetslide I don't really know that it makes *quite* as much of a difference. I tend to prefer brass in general, but I think brass, steel, or the glass Jetslides all do a fine job and have a good sound. I think it really cones down to personal taste. Thanks again for your question, and happy sliding!
Damn. I had a similar idea myself, now i come to find that someone has already beaten me to it! Oh well. Reckon i might get me one. Do they take a while to get used too or?
@paulgordon6949 I suppose it kind of depends, but I took to it pretty quickly. It was pretty intuitive if I recall correctly. I've been using them so long that I might be biased, though.
This looks interesting. Have you tried a slide ring? It looks even less cumbersome than the Jetslide. I'd be interested to hear from someone who's tried both.
Can you bar all the strings with a slide ring or is it more if a targeted string type if deal? Either way, good question and thanks for checking it the video. Cheers!
@Greenjagsurf Hey, if it works, it works, right? I had to fish around in my pocket for a Bic lighter to play impromtu slide the other night. Necessity is the mother of invention. 😄
I have an old bell or tapered brass slide called kick ass brass, seriously that's what it's called. I'm thinking I've been using it for 15 or so years, other than sanding it every couple of years it's my go to especially for acoustic stuff. Also have a old Coracedrin bottle, I prefer for clean electric sounds super clean with my ol analog chorus and as most guitar players I have the prepetuil fear of changing anything But I believe I'ma give this a try with the hope of finding one tool that will do both job's!
@@greendragon2471 well just from carrying it around, dropping it, changes in weather causing moisture, sweating on it, it gets dull an stickey as in not as fast on the neck, so I use 1000 grit sandpaper and wet sand it back to a smooth polished finish, it doesn't take much at all to get it back to new I should probably sand an polish it more often but I'm lazy lol!
Thanks for the comment, Armando. I compare both a jetslide and a conventional slide on acoustic and electric guitars around timecode 3:34. Additionally, there is a Part 2 if you want more info. Hope this helps, and happy slide playing.
@Nix Jett Have you seen a Coricidin bottle? It's round. The glass on the Jetslide is rounded as well, just not hollow like the bottle. It gives a similar sound.
@Nix Jett I'm an old fart myself, and we had Coricidin bottles in the cabinet all the time. none of them were square. When we cleaned out my grandma's apartment, she had two originals (one childproof cap, another not) and both were round. Maybe they made a flat one for a bit, but I've never seen it. The Derek Trucks "coricidin" slides are certainly round, as was the Duane Allman repro they sold for a while. Not sure what else to tell you. Maybe find an example of it online? I can't, and I just looked. Here's one example: www.groundguitar.com/duane-allman-guitars-and-gear/duane-allmans-coricidin-bottle-slide/
That's odd, I thought it was pretty clear. Maybe check around the 3:55 mark for a clear demo. Also, I made a second video that may even more clearly demonstrate how to use the slide. The link is below, and if you skip ahead to about 7:10, it should give a pretty clear example of what it is and how to wear it. Hope this helps. I know learning slide can be frustrating sometimes, but keep it up, and you'll be shredding in no time. ruclips.net/video/GKqxwh-XKNY/видео.htmlsi=RFvq93RUPJe83B1s
That's certainly fair, although idk how old the idea is. I'd love to know of some older slides that incorporate this bar/ring idea if you know of any off hand. Inanyevent, it is certainly up to personal taste whether one likes and uses the Jetslide or no. Thanks for watching and commenting, and happy sliding to you.
Yeah, that's true if you're referring to making behind-the-bar chords. If you want to make regular fretted chords, it's ideal. Thanks for watching the video!
@timolaitinen3888 Nah, it's legit. But everybody's gotta do what works for their own playing style. I've used a Jetslide for years, but it's not for everyone. Thanks for checking out the vid. 🙏🏻

wish they made a straight edge one to barre chords
Hey thanks for the comment and for checking out the video. So it actually works well to bar chords if you're in an open tuning, and your chord is over one fret. Happy sliding!
Have you tried the Black Mountain Slide Ring? It also allows for fretting.

I have been wondering what you were sliding with .
You’re the man. I saw a guy using one and wham, a couple days later I look and find this video. Cha-Ching
What’s that gospel song in the beginning.. the seven seals?
That's called "John the Revelator." Awesome tune! There's a Blind Willie Johnson version as well as a Son House version that are killer.
@@TheMightyOrq Wow, just listened to the Son House version. So inspiring! Thank you so much!!
Damn. I had a similar idea myself, now i come to find that someone has already beaten me to it! Oh well. Reckon i might get me one. Do they take a while to get used too or?
@paulgordon6949 I suppose it kind of depends, but I took to it pretty quickly. It was pretty intuitive if I recall correctly. I've been using them so long that I might be biased, though.

@@TheMightyOrq More like 1 or 2 strings I guess 🤔
I want one and I'm a harmonica player.
They're super cool!
Scott Holiday agrees!
This slide is definitely sponge worthy.
I instantly want one.
I agree with Kid. Try it out, I bet you'll dig it.
Where has this been all my life?
@geraldzuckier Ha! Well, glad it finally came across your feed, man.
Never heard the regular slide hit a fret. That jet slide hit a lot of frets. Seems harder to control.
Yeah, just like anything it takes some getting used to. And I'll grant it's not for everyone. Anyhow, thanks for watching, and commenting. Cheers!
I loked and preferred your normal slide.
This reminds me of the old guy who just taught me slide with the back of a folding pocket knife.

Why do you sand it every couple years?
Id assume if he uses it a lot the strings would scratch up a brass slide quite badly adding unwanted friction when sliding
@@greendragon2471 well just from carrying it around, dropping it, changes in weather causing moisture, sweating on it, it gets dull an stickey as in not as fast on the neck, so I use 1000 grit sandpaper and wet sand it back to a smooth polished finish, it doesn't take much at all to get it back to new I should probably sand an polish it more often but I'm lazy lol!
I like using a glass jar, like D Allman used.
Yeah, that's definitely a great sound. Thanks for watching, and for the comment!
Thank you for doing this. I have been wanting to try one, and it never hurts to try one or both of them.
Where to start? Hmmm. I'll be back.
So why didn’t you demonstrate it?
Thanks for the comment, Armando. I compare both a jetslide and a conventional slide on acoustic and electric guitars around timecode 3:34. Additionally, there is a Part 2 if you want more info. Hope this helps, and happy slide playing.
To me, the brass slide had a more solid sound to me. It may sound better In real time.
They also make it in glass for that Allman Brothers tone. Just don't drop it.
Yeah the glass one sounds great too. But yeah, good ol' brass or steel tends to be a bit more durable.
@Nix Jett Yeah, which was glass, thus my suggestion to use the glass Jetslide if you want similar tone.
