How Should a Guitar Slide Fit?
Okay, so I'm thinking about how this slide should fit. Based on what I've read, the ideal fit is fairly snug around your finger. This is the key. The reference emphasizes the snugness because it's crucial for control. A tight fit ensures I can maneuver the slide precisely and, just as important, prevents it from slipping off mid-song.
However, "snug" doesn't mean "uncomfortable." The reference explicitly states that the slide should not be so tight that it feels restrictive. It's a balance – secure enough for control, but comfortable enough to allow for extended playing without pain or fatigue. So, in my mind, I'm aiming for that sweet spot: a fit that feels secure but doesn't pinch or bind.
Ultimately, I want a slide that feels like an extension of my finger, responding to my touch with precision and stability.
