It's strength training, like anything else. <br /><br />You've given me one, and it has developed a crack. I like the glass, really I do, and it helps to follow the radius a little, but they're so much more breakable than the pyrex bottle and test tube. <br /><br />But I do look forward to the receipt of the slide you have waiting for me.Dave Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052163927020492687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-74214205441715466102010-01-12T13:42:34.307-05:002010-01-12T13:42:34.307-05:00To fit my fat fingers, I had to go up to a 3/4&quo...To fit my fat fingers, I had to go up to a 3/4" socket. It feels too heavy to get a good vibrato, but that might also be from having a lazy, weak, fat finger. <br />My favorite slide for CBG is a copper pipe fitting that I polished to shiny. It isn't quite long enough for regular guitar, but it's more brass than brass, if you know what I mean. Grippy grip grip.<br />Somewhere in my closet I have the neck of a wine bottle snapped off for you, waiting for the delicate touch of a diamond dremel bit to make it safe to put on a finger. My success rate with the score and thermal shock method has been about 50% so far.patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800337561306169507noreply@blogger.com
