need slide advice

David Innerebner · From: Wisconsin, USA

I have been playing slide (lap style) since december '11. I started out with a light weight slide i had. To get better tone i bought a Dunlap slide, the kind that fits over your finger, but I still used it by pinching it between my index finger, middle finger and thumb. Then I saw some you tube videos and saw the control that guys had with a dobro grooved style slide and bought one. The finger slide was too bulky for the kind of control I want to practice.

The problem is that the new slide is alway slipping out of my grip if i raise it up on an angle to use it on one sting, It just slips through my grip.

Anybody got any tricks to a better grip. The thing just slips even when I find my self gripping harder ultimately making it very hard to use.

Am i the only one?

thanks
dave
