How to make a bottleneck slide

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. DO NOT BLAME ME IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY CUT OR BURN YOURSELF, MORON. MAKE SURE YOUR MOMMY IS IN THE KITCHEN WHEN YOU SET THE KEROSENE SHOESTRING ON FIRE.

This is a description of how I have successfully cut the necks off bottles and carefully sanded down the sharp edges to produce slides for playing guitar. Don't try to replicate these simple, time-tested methods unless you're willing to take responsibility for not hurting yourself. Keep this video away from irresponsible, litigious klutzes.

Way to be a dick to your cat.

@elmaschingon142006 You think cats can jump up to and down from five foot tall dressers, but they're too delicate to be dropped two feet down or two feet over when I toss one off my lap? You have sadly not been around cats enough to know what they are like.

does it have to be a wine bottle?

can it be a beer bottle maybe?

[deidzoeb]

Whatever your sliding finger will fit into. I use pinky finger so I can do some chords with the other three fingers, but some people use the slide on ring finger.

Right on dude! The kerosene shoelace idea is pretty interesting, but probably not the optimal strategy. Seems dangerous. I'd use a vice and a metal file to do the scoring and create a weak point in the glass (since I have those tools); and to stress the glass (instead of kerosene string), I would heat the bottle in the dishwasher or with a lighter and then plunge it into some ice-water (perhaps salted water, to super-cool it).

I guess a dremel tool or glass cutter would be optimal, but I haven't always had those. So for people who need to go MacGuyver on it, there's scratching a line with a hacksaw, burning a shoelace around it and crossing your fingers that it will break where you want it to.

Your suggestions for stressing the glass sound a lot safer.

"If you're stupid, don't do this!"

Come to think of it, I am pretty stupid. I better lay off...

[ricbleu48]

is this guy stoned or what? He seems so unsure of what he really did and seems on the verge of loosing it altogether at times. Rehearse it, man, then present it like you mean it.
