                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I thought (and still do) that I had discovered a top secret of the masters, or masters to be, or to improve the masters,  when I discovered the inward tilt to slide on individual strings across the fretboard and I have a secret weapon I made to do that with.  <br><br>I started making this particular slide some months ago, began using it before I got it finished and I love it.  It isn't finished yet, I've been too busy with other stuff but I'm clearing off my kitchen table of other projects right now to set up a grinder and belt/disk sander to finish it out.  I can't turn on those machines tonight or I'll get in trouble with my neighbors (I live in an apartment complex)  so I'll have to finish it out tomorrow but I'll put up some pictures later tonight (or as soon as I can) showing how I made it and the last step (which I need to do tomorrow).]]></content:encoded>

It is a different technique, and a different sound. there are limitations with any guitar related instrument. I just accept that at least at this point if I want slants or tilting I simply need to use a lap steel for that tune.]]></content:encoded>

I dampen, and only tilt the bottleneck if I have to play a lick alongside an open string, say a melody line on the 3rd string while the 2nd rings open. My right hand 'default' position is to dampen all the strings and then 'open up' the one I want to play.<br><br>Steinar]]></content:encoded>
