Making A Bottleneck Guitar Slide

#bottleneck #slideguitar #blues
Making my own bottleneck slide from wine bottles. Are you in to blues slide guitar? Oddly, despite the name there are relatively few famous players that have actually used bottle necks, so far as I can tell. Bonnie Raitt, looks like she's using one and I'm pretty sure I saw Ry Cooder, using what looked like the entire top half of a bottle! Anyway...here's my go at making one.

Great video, and really great playing!

A pipe cutter that you use for cutting brake lines and plumbing might give you an easier and cleaner cut. Just found this video, good stuff! As is the playing

[mikeward]

Thanks Ben - I'm gonna try & make one later today

A more in depth run down of your slide maker would be cool : )

Nice bottle slide, nice playing and nice overall quality of the video.

What baffled me was the "Drinking is disgusting" part, but okay.

[mattes]

Hey great video, the rim looks good. Doesn't need to be in square. It doesn't influence the sound

[bvanfossen]

You made a genius jig. 👍👍 sounds killer. What model Gibson Les Paul is it?

[sahilraut]

How to make that perfect cut line when I don't have this kind of equipment?

[DanielinLaTuna]

Any thoughts on sizing? For a girl’s hand… she’s tall and thin. Long fingers

What's wrong with a good old fashioned beer bottle?

[qt_sir]

Hey. So your technique to get it unattached from scoring is just pouring hot water onto it? Also I don’t want to make that jig since I only want to make one so what’s a more efficient way for me?

Very nice playing.What tuning did you use?

Also, you are very charismatic and have a nice talking voice.

Cheers
