Interested in learning how to play slide guitar? Before you go to your local music store and let your salesman fit you with a generic slide that prevents you from playing chords during a song, slip on the JetSlide and feel how easy it is to switch between slide soloing and chord playing. The JetSlide is simply the latest and greatest innovation in guitar playing technology.

One of the fears that guitarists encounter in playing slide is a loss of musical timing when switching between the use of a slide and going back to a non- slide situation. But with the innovative JetSlide you can play slide guitar licks, while retaining full use of your fretting fingers for playing either chords or guitar solos, and do so without losing a beat. While the JetSlide takes a little time to get used to (just one night of practicing), once you’ve mastered it, it can open great possibilities for your playing.

The key to the JetSlide is its cylinderless design. Fit the slide on like you would a ring which connects to the slide that rests alongside the ring finger itself. The back and bent portion of the slide bar rests between the flesh of the ring finger and pinky. This prevents the slide from turning excessively toward the underside of the ring finger. It also stabilizes the slide while it is being used, and helps it fall out of the way when the finger tab is released.

Another major benefit of the JetSlide is that it makes slide guitar instruction all the more fun. Now, if you’re teaching slide guitar and your student is wearing the JetSlide on his ring finger, while you are wearing your JetSlide on your finger, switching between rhythm and lead guitar becomes much easier and more fun. When the fun increases, so will the frequency of the lessons.

Traditionally, it’s one guitar player at a time playing slide-lead while the other guitarist strums chords  as a rhythm guitarist. But with JetSlide, each musician can switch back and forth between lead-slide and rhythm guitar. With the invention of this fine piece of equipment, the JetSlide should, in time, make the use of the regular slide obsolete. Older, more traditional slides will just slip slide n’away.#
