Abstract: A guitar slide for use with a finger of a person on guitar strings of a guitar comprises a hollow body open at a first end and at a second end. The hollow body has an outside surface adapted for contacting the guitar strings of the guitar simultaneously, and an inside surface adapted to receive the person's finger therein. A spring clip is fixed with the inside surface of the hollow body and is adapted to pivot between a first position and a second position. The spring clip includes an urging mechanism to urge the spring clip into the first position. As such, the person inserts his finger into the hollow body, causing the spring clip to pivot towards the second position. The urging mechanism applies pressure to the person's finger to keep the guitar slide in place on the person's finger by friction, while the person plays the guitar.
