Okay earliar while playing i wanted to try a slide effect. I don't own a slide. I can't drive down to the store to get one. So i tried this idea. It works well especially if either a) you're broke and pay the couple dollars for the slide like me b) you lost yours or c) you can't get one even if you have the money.
What you do is take a solid round object(I find the commen Duracell battery perfect because it goes right across my neck vertically and touches all the strings), grip it(use your first finger, in guitar terms, and your third to grip the sides while your middle finger holds the back so it doesn't slip. Lightly touch the strings with it, too much and two little pressure will make the strings buzz, you won't hear anything. Then move it up and down the frets and you'll notice it works perfectly. And they're small enough to fit in your palm if you're careful not to drop it.
It's a dumb idea but i myself don't have a slide so it works perfectly. Slides are built round for this reason which gave me the idea. Only this one you can't put around your finger. I know, i know, it's very stupid because slides are like $5 or even less but it's kind of resourceful. Especially if you want to save those $5 for lunch at mcdonalds or something![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
