Aw, c'mon, let's do mention some "traditional" slide players like Tampa Red (Yas, Yas, Yas), Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Son House, Sylvester Weaver, Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Willie Johnson (God Don't Never Change), Leadbelly (Packin' Trunk Blues).
They say the best slide was made from a bottle neck. Get bottle of cheap wine, then you drink the wine. Next you break the bottle off and grind down the broken part on some rocks. Maybe Muscat Wine.
You go, moonjen, I look forward to hearing you make it cry.
