## Abstract

The present invention is a slide holder for use with a guitar having a headstock and a plurality of strings to support a slide. The slide holder comprises a block having a cavity and a magnet disposed in the cavity. The housing is made from a compressible material so the slide holder can be secured between the headstock and the strings of the guitar. A slide may be magnetically secured to the strings of the guitar thereby providing a support for the slide when not used.
