Double-Slide System
A relatively new technique, expanding the musical range and sonic capabilities of slide guitar, is the system of double slide guitar. It was invented by Brian Cober, a Canadian blues musician.
In double slide, the first slide is placed on the middle finger , and a modified thumb slide is put on the thumb that is able to cover two strings.
Double slide is meant to be played on a six-string lap guitar. The double slide guitar system enables the player to play chords not heard in open tunings, such as minor chords, dominant seventh chords, etc. and provides a greater use of technique in soloing.

Re: Double Slide System
I'm not sure that the inventor of the two slide technique was Cober. There is evidence that a number have tried dating back many decades. In my opinion there are very few who actually make it work as well as Tim Halse from Australia. Check out:
