Hey fender fans! I just recently got my new issue of Guitar World. It had an article about playing slide guitar like Duane Allman, so I decided to buy a slide to practice, but I have a few questions. Is the slide supposed to fit snug around your finger or be a little loose? Also does anyone have a link to any websites for slide guitar beginners? Thanks!

A slide can be made of any material or fit any way that feels comfortable and gives you the sound that you're looking for.
