blues, three, test, string, box

My slide technique needs work (no damping down of the strings or anything)...and well EVERYTHING needs works really, but the blues is not supposed to be too polished right????I'm using a "Mojobone Works" bone slide made by Randy Bretz, which I would highly recommend!!!...for more details click on the link belowhttp://smokehouseguitars.com/blognewsroll/?p=1135

Rinnie, I was told it was a piezo by the guy who made it....don't know if that's any help or if there are loads of different sorts of those??
Bob, oh that's good to hear that playing without dampening is a thing people actually do on purpose, and not just when they don't know what they're doing, lol
