I got these slides because I just found out about them and want to get some cheap ones to try out. For the price, these a good slides. I'm no professional, but they are decent quality. The steel and brass ones are really big for me anyway, but they definitely work. The glass one fits better but could be a little smaller. I still like them though, and as a bonus you get finger picks and regular ones. They are not good quality, so I wouldn't get this for the picks. They're all pretty thick, sound good, and preform how you'd want them to. Over all I'd say they'll suit you best if have big hands, but they'll work if you have smaller hands as well.

The metal slides are top notch, the glass one is good, but I have a thicker better one I use. The picks are high quality and range from light to heavy.The thumb and finger picks are unusable for my fat fingers. Made for either small or female hands.Also .. comes in a really handy, cool case.

Update:I play both electric, acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars for several hours every day 365 days a year....I added this kit to my setup and I hadn't played with a slide before so I thought it would be fun to learn...Not sure if it would work out, if I would figure it out or how long it would take to learn....Well I have had time to try these out, with some help from lessons on YouTube. I know I'll never be the next Duane Allman but I have managed to try all the slides out, I have gotten them to work a little and it'll take time to get better but they do work, my preference is the Brass slide, my best attempts have been on the electric guitar, and it seems a lot harder to use it on Acoustic and on Acoustic-electric....But they are fun to play with to make some different types of sounds....I play in "open E" tuning, it allows you to do full cords with just the slide and nothing else and you can slide between E, G, A, D while playing all strings or a selection of them, play all strings, with no slide then put the slide on and slide to the 3rd fret, the 5th fret, to the 7th and then the 8th fret, up to the 10th fret and slide back and forth, Not necessarily in that order of course, mix it up a bit....It sounds really cool....It will be even better when I get more practice there's a blues slide guitar video I've been using as a guide and while it will take a pretty long time to really get great at it, or even good at it, but when I finally can flawlessly play blues slide guitar that will be awesome...Even though I'm still learning I have managed to get the slides to work so it looks promising! I can verify that the slides do work, and the selection of picks is great too....I also really like the zip case to keep everything together...just pack it with your guitar gear and no need to worry that things will get lost or something like that.....I haven't tried the finger picks but if I accidentally cut my nails too short when I have something coming up where finger picking will be in the mix of things...they will come in handy. It is a good set of accessories. If you are looking for something to add to your guitar playing options, this is a good little bundle. If you haven't played slide before, it is challenging, press on though, you'll get the hang of it. I am able to do basic things with the slides in the kit, and I haven't had the slides for very long. I had never used slides before, and I'm getting the hang of it myself, I got kind of frustrated at first, but I am figuring things out....It will take practice, don't expect too much right away....Keep practicing, I'm getting it. You will too!It arrived very fast, so I was able to start right up....I'm new to using a slide, it's just a new avenue for me to explore and learn....And it is more difficult than I thought it would be....So I'm not very good at the moment. It seems like it's going to be probably the most difficult challenge yet for my guitar playing repertoire....A probably never will end up being anything close to the famous masters of using a slide, but I think it will be a fun addition to my guitar playing options. It's nice how everything came in a zipped case too so a person can keep everything together....zipped up so things don't get lost since everything in the package are small and could get misplaced, less possible to misplace the slides but everything, slides, picks and all fit in the case, it looks like everything is good quality, I already have been doing finger picking style for a while now so I don't know if I'll use the finger picks you put on your fingers, I've tried them and they seem to actually make finger picking style actually more difficult for me personally. Maybe if I was new to fingerstyle and I was just starting out they might be better, for me though it seems like the picks you put on your picking fingers actually make it feel more difficult, so my focus will be on learning how to use the slides, the extra "flatpicks" are a bonus, they are different thicknesses and seem to be made of some different materials so some bend due to material, others are stiff and the rest are thicker and less bendable...It's a good mix for different types of playing, seems good for the price.

Great product! Only thing is the case it came with was bright blue not black, not a huge problem just an inconvenience. Slides are great though, I’m a man and they fit my fingers
