Which types of effects do you get when playing with metal slides?
Metal guitar slides have wonderful sustain, so they work well with bluesy and overdriven tunes. Brass slides produce a slightly muted, darker tone, while stainless steel and chrome-plated slides offer brighter effects on the strings.
What are the differences between porcelain/ceramic slides and glass slides?
Glass slides have a time-honored sound that's warm and mellow. You can choose from vintage closed-end or open-end styles to suit your playing type. Porcelain and ceramic slides are a bit heavier than lightweight glass slides, so they offer more sustain. Porcelain and ceramic slides offer a nice compromise between the warm tones of glass slides and the smooth tones of metal slides.
What is the right fit for a guitar slide?
The slide should fit snugly on your finger but not too tightly, as your finger may expand a bit when warm. Choose a full-length slide if you want to slide across all six guitar strings, a short slide to slide over individual strings, and a super-short knuckle slide when you want to bend your knuckle and fret strings while playing.
