For years slide players have been using almost anything that is lying around and will make a good slide. One of the best and most famous of these is the little glass bottle that used to hold Coricidin cold medicine. It's not only that they are the right size and made of glass, they also have a unique inner shape that gives them a totally unique vibrato. Because of the Big Heart Mojo Medicine Bottle Guitar Slide's smaller opening, it allows the slide to wobble back and forth, free of your finger. This gives you a wider vibrato note range. This is the type of glass bottle slide used by Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, and Buzzy James.

SETTING THE STAGE Ernie grew up in Santa Monica, California, where his father sold cars and taught Hawaiian steel guitar on the side. 'I first picked up the steel guitar when I was nine because my father wanted me to,' he recalls. 'Bored stiff, I gave it up; but later as a teenager I got the bug and began practicing two to three hours a day. In less than a year I joined the Musicians' Union and landed a jod a job playing six nights a week in a beer bar in south central Los Angeles.' At 19, he successfully auditioned for the pedal guitar slot in the Tommy Duncan band, (former lead singer for Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.) For a year they toured the southwest until the Korean War broke out and EB enlisted in the U.S. Air Force Band. His three-year tour as an Air Force bandsman involved him in diverse musical styles that included Dixieland, concert band, jazz, classical, and big band arrangements. He formed a five-piece combo and soon was playing four nights a week right on the air base. During these years he learned to play standard guitar. When the military band played for various ceremonies or marched in parades, Ern played the bass drum. After leaving the service Ernie returned to the honky tonks of Los Angeles, but the $53 a week take-home pay wouldn't support his wife and young sons, so he took a teaching job to supplement his playing. At that time KTLA Channel 5 was producing a popular weekly show called Western Varieties. The bandleader heard Ernie play and hired him for the staff band and two solo spots. This job increased his earnings three-fold, and better yet helped Ernie build a name for himself in the L.A. music scene. In those days TV performances were live; no tape delays and no way

Brass has been chosen by slide players for years because of its tonality and comfortable weight. Machined from solid brass for a bright tone with great sustain, the Harris slide has a unique design. Its flared sides offer better control, less damping and more comfort. Unlike other companies that offer a single slide as the cure-all, Dunlop understands that slides are every bit as varied as individual player’s slide techniques. It’s much more than just finger size. How you hold it, what kind of string contact you prefer, and how detailed or quiet you want the sliding action to sound ... these are just a few of your considerations when choosing your perfect slide. Dunlop’s focus is to offer all sensible slide choices in attractive, carefully engineered designs.
