Changing the SLIDE GUITAR Game! 

Usually i'm over the line skeptical when a youtuber sells products but there's no way i'm not getting one of these. thanks for the amazing demonstration.

I always heard those referred to as Leo Kottke slides. He was already using them in the 1970s and I didn't know anyone else ever used them.

Your musicianship is always off the charts! Lots of people can play an instrument, not so many really make MUSIC so much. But you sure do!!!

My precious...

I've always thought about the possibility of a small finger slide like this. Now here it is. The spring loaded tensioner to keep it fitting snug to your finger is an awesome feature.

Happy Holidays to You And Nikki.Thanks for The Great Music🎸🎶👍

nice job Justin - I led the engineering team for a high end vibration sensor company and we used tungsten masses very specifically to increase the "sustain": of some devices. So I wanted to chime in and validate that there is real vibration science behind this. Im not much of a slide player but going to pick one up!

I don’t know if Justin ever played something that I didn’t like.

Bitchin' tool, Bitchin' playin'! Happy Holidays to you and yours Justin

The wife is getting a ring for Xmas 😂

Thank you for the lesson!!! Not only a great guitarist, but a great teacher sharing knowledge and experience!!!

Still remember finding a video of a tall skinny kid with long hair and a trucker hat playing a broom handled cigar box Thang at a Farmer's market...I kind of chucked to myself, like who is THIS guy...but then he played and my jaw dropped...as a guy who loves slide guitar, and has struggled for decades to get good at it, JJ has been the best teacher I ever had, even if my intonation and technique are still pretty bad😂

This is why it is best to play the full the slide on the little finger - keep the the other three for the fingerboard. Some guitarists have a real blind spot about the little finger.

Just ordered mine! This comes at a great time as I'm trying to play slide in standard which is mostly single note lines anyway and it sucks to lose a finger and not have access to your usual tricks. Hoping this is going to let me get the best of both worlds. Thanks!

JJ The Lord of the Ring Slides!

Brilliant...next level stuff...you are always off the charts outside the box...

Ingenious, just like your playing! ❤❤JJ❤❤

Very cool! Will have to get me one of those 😎✌💯

BRILLIANT!

Holy moly!!!! 🙏🏼💜🇨🇦

Amasing!

This is great!

These are great! JJ reviewed a similar product from Black Mountain a while back, so I bought one on his recommendation. All at once I could incorporate 1 and sometimes 2 string slide sound riffs at will. As an east coast Piedmont, Country Blues, Ragtime player, I don't use open tunings much at all. Still, I loved the slide sound and wished I could use it. The ring slide gives me access to the sound I never could get before in standard tuning. I like to keep up a steady bass thump, so the keys of A and E have worked best for me. But I'm no JJ. I'd love it if you would create a video, or do a workshop on the use of the ring slide in standard tuning. All in all, I can't recommend these highly enough as a great way to blend fingerstyle and slide playing. Thanks, Justin.

Amazing Slides...

Good job. I had the original ring-slide (different than that one) in about '75. Got lost ~'96 with a bag of different slides including the original brass Mighty Mite. I got knockoff replacements but still miss those. I DO still have an original Coricidan bottle plus some Dunlop knockoffs.

Happy Thanksgiving, Justin.

Oh, how perfect for you!

Great as usual!! I’d really love it ifn you’d do a cover of, “Hats off to Roy Harper,” Zeppelin did 1 with vocals & T Bone White without. On ur 3 string shovel it’d be a perfect bookend to, “Voodoo Chile.”

Been a fan for a long time and its good to see you actually talk to the camera and give advice to players, been waiting on this for a long time!

オシャレ過ぎてなにも言えない聴く人は酔いしれます。素敵すぎる😍❤️❤️❤️

Will Ray with the Hellecasters was awesome with that style especially with Sweet Dreams........ awesome

Cool❤

FINALLY someone made one of these! been thinking about it for a long time but i dont really play that much slide so never got around to making one. Im glad you did, will def have to pick one up in the future! :) Cheers

I was thinking about this for years, my prototype was just piece of metal. This thing inside what make pressure on finger is perfect to stop slide on place. Thank u for this invention

Grande... grazie

I got a ring slide in the late 70s called the Lenny Blues Slide. I lost it and have yet to find a good substitute. This one may work well. I hope to check one out some day.

The Magic of the slide Guitar , me too some time i play slide for months , ane then i stop , always so . Thanks a lot fir yours informations and for delicius music ❤

คุณสุดยอดมากเลย

Oh man, I could have saved on the shipping, the JJ signature pickup has just arrived but it looks like I NEED this ring slide now! 😅

Nice ~ Short Inflections are a treat ~ very fine innuendos ~

Awesome! I'll be chopping my slide soon to make myself one of these.

What a game changer…. 🙌🏼 👏🏼 bravo ❤

Just ordered one Justin. Keep on rocking and Happy Holidays!

For all you slide players out there.. this is a MUST watch - leave it to Justin to point out how beneficial this ring slide is - this is proof you don't need a bulky 4-inch slide to make your point

I ve doing this for years just cuting my metal slides in 2

That'd sure take some practice, as I do lots of mini bar chords with my middle finger. But I can't deny that's some smooth switching between pickin and slidin. I might have to give it a go.

Nice!

You’re amazing, thank you 🙏🏼

Ahh man definitely getting one of those ❤ and your playing is on point, finger picking good 🙏🏻

That's a great product idea. Tempting. BTW, I have the same Gretch resonator. Doesn't sound nearly as good. Of course, it could be due to the fact that I'm not you. LOL.

my guitar teacher Mike Ellis patent and gave me one in the early 1970s . Mike Ellis was the Tucker/ Leo Fender of this.

Very cool Justin! Innovative and looks easy to use! I'd like to get one of these too!

I just got mine today, and everyone has got to do this. It's a game changer.

Awesome product. On my list for next guitar related item.

You ever see or try one of those Chris Whitley bike handlebar slide rings? Covers all frets.

Oh yes. I'm definitely going to get me one. Thanks brother

ive always thought these should exist!!! def getting one

I just got one. Your measurements instructions were great and made it easy. I didn’t use the code because I appreciate no enjoy supporting you. My friends got me a shovel guitar for my birthday and it’s always fun.

The Edge from U2 started using one of these that his technician made circa 2000.

Wow! Very nice! Time to really consider this, I'm a bender and might turn slider before long now!

You’re an amazing dude and I sometimes wondered why no one had made one of those type things.

Finally a guitar gadget that isn't a complete gimmick. I could actually use one of theses.

Anyone looking to buy one of these, it's really important, vital, to have it sized properly so look at the knuckle he's wearing it on and go to a jeweler and get your knuckle sized.

Love it.

This changes the game

Happy Turkey Day to you and Nikki Justin... Hope your having a toptastic time 🎸🎶🪕🎵

Nice to see a new ring slide! Which pickup are you using on the resonator? It sounds great!

Cool product!

I wear a tungsten wedding band and discovered the ability to do this with it. Thought it was pretty cool

Do you have a video on the different techniques for slides, I just got one myself and I'm still trying to find that perfect pressure , let alone plucking tabs along with it

Just ordered one…thx, JJ! ✌️👽🎸

Functional Jewelry I love it!!

you play beautifully

Super!!!!!!! Go to get one!!!!!! i Love it !

Justin, i just watched a video of a woodworker who built a 3 string hybrid explorer and instantly thought it would be something you'd like. The channel is called 3x3 custom - tamar. The video is about 3 years old amd titled Building a 3 string guitar from scrap wood. I hope youtbe doesnt insta delete this and you get to see it. Cheers

ohh man the sound you get out of that Gretsch is amazing. is that a honeydipper?

This is really cool!

Huge fan Justin. Can you highlight what this pickup can do with some distortion or reverb or delay on a standard acoustic guitar without slide. I’ve been looking for a pickup for an acoustic guitar. Thanks man.

That’s awesome! Never seen this before. I want one!

I've seen this in another video of yours, I gotta make one for myself. Perks of being a machinist 😂

thanks bud--- ur the best!

Just had to, so ordered one. On the fence? Guys and gals worry not, if any problem please believe me, Justin will make it right, this from personal experience dealing with this man.

Simple and logical

This could actually work for me. I was never any good with slides and gave up on playing one ages ago.

I always wondered why they dnt do this..I think inneed a guitar with a higher action or a lighter touch

You are a legend

Justin, You are a genius!!!

Congratulations!

Any differences to the original Black Mountain Slide Ring beside of the branding?

don't trust this guy, he is capable of playing with mittens or with bandages on each finger...

Wonderful demo!😊😊

magic.

Justin, you are one of the greatest slide players of all time

Michael Sasaki from the band Cold Blood was using that in the '70's.

Vocal slide is an actual vocal technique, I like the look I of this product

Great stuff - I want one!

I've been using this technique for decades, I also just happen kind of hate the sound of slide guitars so i never really do use it. But if the situation calls for a slide guitar, I pull out my big ass brass ring.

🇧🇷✌️

Looks like it'll join my assortment of various slides. I'm a pinky slide player fire this reason, I like to fret notes too unless in a lap steel.

Dude you play really great!
