Pablus,

I use a Shubb-Pearse SP2 guitar steel slide. I've tried many others, and this one works best for me.

There are some called 'bullets' that are a metal cylinder. But they are hard to hold onto when playing single note stuff.

The Shubb and a ridge in the top for easier grasp.

As far as CD's to listen to, I highly recommend The Smoken' Menehunes latest (and only) CD. It will be available soon.

But if you want to get going sooner, buy the CD Hukilau Hulas and take you pick (pun intended).

The braddah-hood of steel players is sort of a secret society. I was a standard guitar slingin' shreadder for 25+ years - we're a dime a dozen.

But a steel player is quite rare out my way. When you meet another one, it's like the connection you get when you meet another tiki freak. Braddah!
