You get a great sound. That lesson reminds me of ZZ Top's "Lagrange" -- fits quite well for that song.

I see your metal slide gives it an electric "table saw" kind of a sound like George Thouroughgood (it sounds good). I've tried metal slides but they wants to clang against the strings and make my pinkie tired. I'm using 9 gage strings.

Glass is a lot easier for me to control because it's so light. Just a personal preference I suppose. I've had a few of each (glass and metal).

Should I see a glass blower to make a slide for me? I like them small short and thin walled.

PS I'm intereseted in your slide lessons.

Your guitar scale slide rule idea rules!!
