Slide Rings
A while back I came across some videos on youTube of folks using two finger slides on a lap steel to get some interesting chord motion. Does anyone else here do that?
Or has anyone tried to use one of those "slide rings" in addition to your bar to get a single moving tone amongst a ringing chord?

Should have referenced these in the original post!
Two Slides & Lap Steel
Peaceland Guitar Ring is a demo in guitar context that has some examples of varying intervals (4:20) and divergent motion (7:51).

There are enough possibilities with one tuning and a bar and slants and pulls to keep one busy, but incorporating these might give us some new ideas when we feel our playing is getting stale!
Les: I like the thimble idea.

I have several players who have ordered bottleneck slides from me because they had serious issues with fingers or the thumb in holding onto a bar and thought that a bottleneck slide might do the trick. Since my stock bottleneck slides weren't as long as needed for 8-10-12 string instruments, I have made some in special longer lengths to their specification.
For those players who are handicapped in this manner, I offer to make the custom, longer-length bottleneck at no extra charge.
