How to Choose the Right Slide | Electric Guitar

In this video I offer up some thoughts on choosing the right slide for electric guitar. I take a close look at the necessary measurements and how to get a good fit —then go on to make some brand recommendations before ending with some sound samples. The video ran a little longer than expected, one of the perils of not having a script! I also refer to ‘Diamond Slides’ throughout, when in fact they're called ‘diamond bottlenecks’ — never mind, you know what I mean. This is not a sponsored video. Here’s the useful Jim Dunlop sizing chart mentioned: https://www.jimdunlop.com/content/manuals/Slide_Chart.pdf Chapters 0:00 - 0:19 Warm welcome 0:20 - 1:33 The Lab! 1:34 - 10:54 The Measurements 10:55 - 11:36 Jim Dunlop 11:37 - 12:48 Ernie Ball 12:49 - 15:33 Rockslide 15:34 - 24:06 Diamond Bottlenecks 24:07 Sound Samples (Jim Dunlop 202, 215, Diamond Bottlenecks) Questions?
