bottleneck slides
Fretboard gliding cylinders
Bottleneck slides are glass or metal tubes worn on a guitarist's finger to glide along the strings, producing a smooth, wavering tone characteristic of blues and slide guitar.
The name comes from the original practice of using the neck of a glass bottle, cut and polished.
He slipped on a bottleneck slide and played an old Delta blues tune.
