-Slides-

So what kind of slides do you guys use?

I've played guitar for a long time and I've never been much of a slide player....I suck at it actually. However, I had a gig recently that required me to learn a couple of slide tunes, so I dove into it a bit.

I seem to like glass the best, but my buddy had a thick ceramic that sounded good too...

I'm horrible at slide. That being said I like a thin glass slide. Glass is a lot warmer than brass. Never tried ceramic though. I like em light cuz I use it on my pinky so I can still have my ring finger for fretting and I find it the easiest way to fret notes under the slide.

AAhh.....a pinky player! I can't get past my middle finger. All the stuff I've read says it's best to use your ring finger and from what I've seen most players use the ring finger. I just feel more comfortable with my middle.
