I have tried every slide in the known universe, but with the Rockslide i’m not searching
anymore! Brass or glass, these slides becomes a integral part of you.
“The Rock Slide is my absolute favourite. I’ve never used another one that feels, sounds and reacts as good as my Rock Slides. I swear by these slides.”
Rock slides are the cumulative result of engineering savy and guitar player intuition. The subtle tweaks to the geometry and ergonomics make it easier and more efficient to play slide guitar. There’s a worn out spot in my jeans where my rock slides live… Tone comes from the hands, but if you have to put something between your guitar and your fingers, it better be a rock slide.
I discovered Rockslide by accident one day while searching for brass slides. I felt like I wanted to try something different. So, I emailed to ask about sizing and Danny was really helpful. I liked the concept, so I ordered a couple of them. Man, am I ever happy I did. Both the medium brass and glass are very nicely weighted and have a great tone. The taper and cutaway make a big difference as well. Worth every penny!
I just wanted to thank you again for this amazing slide. Its incredible that such a simple modification to the slide could make it so much more comfortable and easy to use. Not only does it relieve that nagging pressure that the other “Jurassic” slides impose on your digits after a set or two, but it sounds better. Damn!! The ROCK SLIDE makes me play like Ry Cooder(OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration) Thanx
I have been a Rock Slide® user since I was 14 years old. You guys sent me some slides and to this day I must say that I absolutely love them. I’ve been using them ever since and I just wanted to let you know that they are some great slides that pass the test of time! I am an acoustic blues musician and I have used your slides all around the country playing festivals and shows.
I use glass, brass, and steel, and when I go for brass, it’s The Rock Slide every time. Tone. Design. Feel. Sustain. It’s got it all.

I found this shot of Ray Wylie Hubbard and myself sliding around w/ Rockslides and thought you’d get a kick out of it.

I have a little story to tell you. I returned from Philly where we are rehearsing for our upcoming tour. While setting up my rig I spy this gold glint on a nearby table. I ask Craig our bassist, “who’s slide is that?” … and he tells me the guitarist in his teenage son’s band just picked it up at a local store. Now I have used a glass slide for 20 years. I love the sound of brass but the brass slides I have tried have been heavy, unwieldy things that wobbled around on my finger and nicked up my frets … well you know. I picked up your slide, put it on and all I can say is … WOW … you know that rare feeling you get when you pick up the PERFECT guitar … well In 10 seconds the giant box of glass slides I own have become knick-knacks …. and the TONE …. man I have another low octave of sweet harmonics now that just blew me away. My band mates looked at me and said what is that … it sounds awesome. When a drummer notices your tone you’ve got something going on. I went to the local store to buy them out and they only had a couple so I’ll be calling in for more. All this is to say I haven’t been this excited about a piece of gear in years and I would honored to be added to your artist users page if you have the room. Thanks for making someone who plays slide for 60% of every concert a very happy man. I can’t wait to hit the road with your slide. Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2005
