A musical instrument slide including a body portion and a light source.
The light source includes a switch for selective activation, enabling the
slide body to emit light when activated. As the musician moves the slide
across the strings as the instrument, such as a guitar, is played, a
visual effect is created by the movement of the light. The body portion
preferably is constructed of a material to pass light therethrough, and
can be either wholly or partially clear or translucent, or a combination
of both. Alternatively or in addition to the light source, the slide body
can include an eccentric motor that causes the slide body to vibrate.
This vibration, in turn, causes vibration of the guitar strings, or other
sting instrument, as the slide is positioned on the strings, or moved
along the strings, by the musician.
