What kinds of slides are available?
Slides can be gotten in different sizes and materials. Different tube sizes are needed to fit on different fingers. Short slides will only span across a few guitar strings, while longer slides span all the strings. The size and length of a slide should be chosen based on how you want to use it, and which finger you plan to put it on. The material the slide is made of will determine how it sounds. Heavier slides will produce the best tone. Pyrex glass slides are said to have a warmer thicker sound. Brass slides have a bright resonant tone, while chrome slides are brighter still.

It is designed to fit the finger perfectly without slipping off or pinching. It also has mass added
