        Just picked up this wonderful guitar tool for making my way into slide guitar. I got incredibly lucky and ordered the Medium size off of Amazon and it fit like a glove on my relatively slender fingers. Don’t get that size if you have fat fingers.

        I’m very impressed with this version due to the weight of it and the cut out for the bend in the finger as shown. You will some sliding in one of my upcoming video’s soon. Very happy with the purchase. I have tried the glass slides and didn’t have one that fit well, I like this one a lot.

        Fits like a glove and very comfortable

          Looks pretty cool, but the main thing is, it fits.

            A little trick that you can try if your glass slides are too big……

            Get some thin weather stripping foam; it has an adhesive backing and you can fit small pieces in the slide and make it have a snug fit on your finger

            Yeah some would think its a hack but it works and that is what matters

              Never thought of that. It sounds like a good idea. I’m doing real basic slides at the moment, so nothing to fancy yet. So far it’s getting the job done.

                  I would suggest that you get the really thin weather stripping so the tailor it to fit your finger. The thick material will likely be too tight
