One of the most straightforward how-to's I've ever seen.

@killslay 5 лет назад

I use a similar method on the bottom of bottles to make gravity bongs

@tima8049 2 года назад

My dad wants to know if you've got a link to that instructional video.

@RuTnVI 6 лет назад

After watching this video I just went to the shop and bought one

@beverlin66 5 лет назад

Love that Awesome

@TrollToove 3 года назад

Yeah Im considering doing the same thing, I just wanna find out of I cna do this with some power tools or scrap laying around the garage

@briancherry8088 3 года назад

For less than the cost of a bottle-cutter no doubt.

@jazzram_ 3 года назад

Lol

@willshaw6405 8 лет назад

Very slick! Much safer than the way I was going to do it. Nice close ups, too ...A minus at least !

@swiftlessons 8 лет назад

+Will Shaw Hey thanks. The close ups were tough to get, as the lens kept fogging up from the steam, haha. Totally worth the time. I'm just get started with these lessons. Expect much more here and also at patreon.com/swiftlessons. More free ebooks, chord sheets, backing tracks and gear reviews are also on the way!

@manicslugmusic 9 лет назад

Awesome, thanks for posting this! I just found myself a new hobby!

@tomm5023 Год назад

After 24 secs I already knew enough

@Mountainrock70 4 года назад

I’ve been using the same bottle neck slide for 35 years. I’ve dropped it at least 5 times! Anyway... I just scored the bottle well and gave it a good knock on a wood railroad tie and it severed right off. Then scuff the cut end with fine emery cloth.

@AdrianClement 5 лет назад

Thank you for the awesome tutorial!! I just got finished making one and it turned out great!! I used a Dremel to score mine and to smooth it out.

@salvadordollyparton666 Год назад

i was wondering if my metal blade would just cut the whole thing... but that's a LOT of silica dust, if it did. might just try that, instead of having to buy a glass cutter that i'd probably lose before i needed it again. maybe a torch to just heat the scored part.

@kellyvaughnofficial 4 года назад

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 🎸

@MrHill202 9 лет назад

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the slide lessons!

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

Joe Hill Very welcome. Yes, I can't wait to get in front of the camera again, these slide licks are going to be a lot of fun. Thanks for checking this out. Be well. -Rob

@TheSchane 7 лет назад

great method and clear!

@MarkSiosal 6 лет назад

Actually using just a flame round the score then into iced water gives better percentage of success. Those little butane blowtorches are perfect, ot even just a lighter (might take a while mind you) The more you concentrate the heat in one area, the better, rather than heating alot of the bottle up in water.

@dholtman5977 9 лет назад

Can't wait for these! Thanks

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

D Holtman Very welcome, I've made about 20 of these thus far, and they've made great gifts for fellow pickers. It doesn't take long to grind them down, just a few minutes to round it out.

@MidnightDrive 7 лет назад

subbed, love the vibe of your videos

@CensureAsylum Год назад

Like I have a ceramic tile cutter tool kit & a tile cutting saw.. I asured the wine bottle neck cumfortably fitted my finger. Please use eye, nose, mouth and hand PPE.

@Mistertbones 9 лет назад

Glass bottlenecks, in my opinion, give the tone.

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

Mistertbones I would definitely agree!

@joshevery7259 7 лет назад

thanks, great vid

@tombutler4773 8 лет назад

Great video, I build 3 and 4 string guitars for blues slide ....I always ship a slide with each guitar....otherwise its like getting a Christmas present without batteries.........im going to attempt making my own slides after watching this.....how long do you hold it in the boil?....thanks for posting!

Dude, would you do a Friend of The Devil lesson, awesome song, i'm struggling to learn it by myself :/

@seanbennett2166 9 лет назад

That is cool as hell. Thanks!

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

sean bennett My pleasure, let me know how it works out. It may take a few tries to get the process down.

@seanbennett2166 9 лет назад

Screwed up 2 but now I made a good one. All tuned up to open G and gonna go mess with it right now. Thanks again.

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

Awesome, congrats, feels good to shred with a homemade slide. Little tip, you can score the bottleneck twice and remove the lip of the bottle. Once you've rounded out both edges, it makes for a really sweet and easy to maneuver slide.

@johnunderwood3132 4 года назад

I’m in s jersey... just thought that was cool. And nice video

@MrFroberg 9 месяцев назад

Awesome! Do u have a name on the glas cutter ?

@technomancier 11 месяцев назад

Can this work for Jack Daniel's bottle neck? Thanks for the video man

@Max1dollar 9 лет назад

@zainman1472 3 года назад

which string gauge r u using

@jasavariraj3143 3 года назад

super

@bmfilmnut 4 года назад

It might have been better to show how to score the bottle with a regular glass cutter since most people don't have that special tool and probably don't want to buy one if they are just making a couple slides. Also, are you aware of the string method?

@soamer_ Год назад

wait whats the string method

@aggravated_autopsy Год назад

string method?

@matthewzuk7910 7 месяцев назад

Who makes the glass cutter called?

@NightNinja540 3 года назад

Instuctions aunclear drank teh botle of wine ebfoahdn and burndt my shwing shwang

@das250250 8 лет назад

Maybe try quickly cooling it first before heating then back to cooling

@swiftlessons 8 лет назад

+graham kaveman Might work better, have you tried this yet?

@SzepTamas 8 лет назад

I tried this method a couple of times, none of them cracked right. Even when I made the cut deeper. Longitudinal cracks always occured. Any ideas?

@swiftlessons 8 лет назад

Sometimes you can see exactly where the weak points in the glass are before you score. The higher quality bottles are way more consistent.

@SzepTamas 8 лет назад

+swiftlessons Thanks, I will try to find the proper quality bottles.

@igorflint9578 6 лет назад

Do you always wear your hat in da house? :)

@ajay81177 9 лет назад

Wow

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

Joshua BehalHows it going Josh? If you make any slides, let me know what bottles work best. Thanks! -Rob

@spritecrannberry1341 4 года назад

just letting you know its faster to do it in reverse cold then hot not hot then cold

@Stanman121 7 лет назад

Man thanks for this. But dude I have just waisted 3 very nice bottles, they were like perfect lol. They all cracked like sideways and up the neck. Not sure what the heck I'm doing wrong. Maybe overscore? I don't know.

@swiftlessons 7 лет назад

Could be over score. Some bottles look nice but already have weak points in the glass which causes them to split... it's kind of luck of the draw to some degree. I might also suggest that you make sure the bottle gets EXTRA hot before icing it. I've notice a correlation between longer heat times and cleaner breaks.

@Stanman121 7 лет назад

swiftlessons awesome thanks for reply. Cool I will give it another try, luckily it's free till I get it right :)

@johndavies4541 7 лет назад

Stanman121 of course the more bottles of wine you have to drink to get it right will just make the process that much harder. I'd stop once you start seeing more than one bottle!

@Stanman121 7 лет назад

john davies lol. Agreed. Good advice.

@misterj1396 4 года назад

I wrapped the bottle in a towel and then used a hammer and then sanded down the rough edges.

@MoneoAtreides77 3 года назад

Requires a bottle cutter and Dremel. Chrome slides cost about $8.00. Support your local guitar shop is my advice.

@richardmongeon5355 2 года назад

How was that wine?

@ToMegaTherion 7 лет назад

Cruise 93.

@83madrague 9 лет назад

the wine was good ?

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

I actually found this one in my neighbors trash, haha. I usually make my slides from Marqués de Cáceres bottles, and their Rioja taste great, highly recommended.

@83madrague 9 лет назад

swiftlessons do you think the bottleneck will sound better if i use a great vintage wine like a "BORDEAUX" for example .....

@swiftlessons 9 лет назад

actually, I've been finding success with cheaper bottles... I recently raided a liquor stores recycling bin after a wine tasting, and got about 50 bottles. The trouble wasn't finding ones that sound good, rather ones with the right size holes and a wall that was at even thickness all the way around. Please keep track of the bottles you cut, that way we can figure out which have the best tone, and fit the best.

@MIKE-ej6ud 5 лет назад

I enjoyed watching you do this, thank you. I have been trying to learn slide technique and it's been very frustrating until recently. I have a steel slide and I'm going to try now, to make a glass one.

@johnunderwood3132 4 года назад

Did you say philly kitchen ?

@italianbirdvideos6190 2 года назад

@Mr.56Goldtop 4 года назад

It looks like most wine bottle necks are a pinky finger size slide. I need a medium.

@sllm2406 2 года назад

But u didnt show the polishment part!

@1972piledriver 4 года назад

I wonder if I can use an hacksaw to cut the neck?

@jimthebutcher99 3 года назад

If you go over a score a second time you will ruing the cutter blade. Just once around

@unorganizedangler5832 5 лет назад

It really doesn’t matter but why not just stick the bottle neck back in the cold water so you don’t have to wait 2 mins for it to cool off

@swiftlessons 5 лет назад

Yeah that’s a good point haha!

@abnunga 2 года назад

It might shatter more in places you don't want it to.

@eldesgraciado6690 3 года назад

@fisstech4759 4 года назад

Just before this video I've watched Steve'O breaking a beer bottle with his head ...I still think that's better method than this xD

@lolobuggah2670 3 года назад

Why not to over score?

@trahtrebor 2 года назад

Just a thought,,,, I was always taught to make ONE cut. Making two would damage the cutter and add more edges( translated potential cracks) to fracture in a wrong manner. But the proof is in the pudding. He does multiple cuts and it works. I've scored flat glass panes twice and it worked. I've also scored once and many times would get a crack running anywhere but along the score. 😁 Personally, I'm gonna try his method, but give it a longer soak as he suggested before transferring to the shock bath.

@MrCameron9000 9 лет назад

Blues slide guitar is pretty easy to play, but to make, they are fucking difficult!! Even after this tutorial I'm having trouble.

@winstonchurchill624 4 года назад

I have a better, faster, and safer way to do this. Buy one It was some pretty good instruction though, if I wanted to make my own this is the video I would follow.

@thomas.thomas 4 года назад

Why buy something you can getfor free

@davidjones6812 4 года назад

Bottle opening is way too small for fingers

@blllllllllllllllllllrlrlrl7059 3 года назад

You have some thick ass fingers

@lucasduque8289 3 года назад

I mean, the reason I wanted to make it from a bottle is to get one for free from a wine bottle I have lying around. If I have to buy a tool for that I might as well buy one from the store.

@ironjohn03 4 года назад

The tools you need to DIY a slide. Haha just go to your nearest shop and buy that $5 guitar slide.

@swiftlessons 4 года назад

Good point, I guess this is for someone who would like to have a slide that is completely unique. For years my favorite guitar slide was from an old bottle of French wine, it fit me perfectly and had a great sound. Unfortunately I shattered it the other day...

@alexd186 4 года назад

swiftlessons aw man that sucks

@lameccanica 4 года назад

interesting but... whats the point? buying a bottleneck is cheaper than buying any bottle cutter out there

@swiftlessons 4 года назад

True, but for me It was a fun project. I made dozens of unique slides, and gave them away as gifts. Several of my favorite players in Philly still perform with them.

@lameccanica 4 года назад

@@swiftlessons yeah i get it... building something is more fun than just go to the shop and buy it! ;)

@hermanhermitz9101 6 лет назад

There is a reason why the guy only showed the neck and kept the rest of the cut out bottle off camera........ BECAUSE IT IS NOT SATISFACTORY.

@swiftlessons 6 лет назад

I don’t know what to tell you, I’ve made a dozen slides this way, and after giving them a good sanding have given them away as gifts. They look and sound awesome.

@deladner 8 лет назад

It could have been a 30 second video...

@swiftlessons 8 лет назад

+Dale Ladner Maybe without a demonstration, but I wanted everyone to see that this method works. In addition, it's very important to the health of the channel that I post content that is more comprehensive.
