Sure, I filed for the patent... so I don't have a problem. That's why you do that. It's called the MusserRing. It fits between the 1st and 2nd knuckle of the fingers of the hand that do the fingering on the guitar... it is a flat ring for playing slide. It has a particular shape which allows you to turn it and adjust the sizing so that you can bend your finger, play slide and still have ALL your fingertips available for your favorite uther stuff... It is ridiculously simple... hard to believe the other slide manufacturers haven't solved this problem a long time ago. The problem is sizing. There's one guy who came up with something adjustable, but it does not have the shape of the Mussering, and therefore is not adjustable in terms of how the finger bends... also, his design is too thick and prevents the fingers from being close together up high on the neck. I noticed on the Dunlop website (who I showed these things to), they have a thing called a shy slide... which is very close to what is in the drawings on my patent filing... but so far have never seen one in a store. Anyways... I paid $50 each for mine... maybe folks would be happy to pay the price, but seems steep... problem again is getting the correct sizing for each persons hand. I use 4 of them, one on each finger, and you can do things you've never heard before with these things. Well, that's it. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. I will be on vacation until next Friday... enjoying the list... will return soon.
