Guitar Slides
Create smooth, expressive tones and classic slide guitar sounds with Guitar Slides, essential accessories that allow players to produce gliding notes, vocal-like phrasing, and rich sustain. Guitar slides are worn on a finger and moved along the strings, opening up unique techniques not achievable with standard fretting.
This category includes glass slides, metal slides, brass slides, steel slides, ceramic slides, and specialty slide designs, suitable for electric guitars, acoustic guitars, resonator guitars, and lap-style instruments. Different slide materials deliver distinct tonal characteristics—glass slides offer warm, smooth tones, while metal slides provide brighter attack, increased sustain, and cutting projection.
Guitar slides are widely used across blues, rock, country, folk, southern rock, worship, ambient, and experimental music styles. They are popular for lead melodies, bottleneck techniques, open tunings, and expressive rhythm parts, making them versatile tools for both traditional and modern players.
Modern guitar slides are available in various lengths, diameters, weights, and wall thicknesses, ensuring proper fit for different finger sizes and playing preferences. A well-fitted slide improves comfort, control, and accuracy, allowing smoother movement and cleaner tone.
Complete your setup with open-tuning strings, fingerpicks, capos, and maintenance accessories, helping you explore slide techniques with confidence.
From classic blues bottleneck tones to modern atmospheric textures, guitar slides are essential tools for expressive, soulful playing.
