Hmmmm, ok I can see how being a little right of center makes the reverse slant much easier. I still am having a hard time bending that 1st finger,(I guess the pedal guys I've watched pretty much operate with a straightenend 1st finger).
On another note, 'slant' versus 'bar size', as was mentioned previously, . . .for certain chords that Rick tabbed and these(these are forward ones, I'll get to the reverses soon);
G7
E-----------------------------------
C----------------------5-------
A----------------------5-------
G------------------4-------------
E--------------3------------------
C-------------------------------------
and this;
C6th
E-----------------------5-----------
C-------------------4--------------
A---------------3-----------------
G--------------------------------
E---------------------------------

If you play these voicings down the board you need a longer bar, no?

Goin' after that G note in that "Split Slant" ...  Lots of Hawaiian steel playin' doesn't utilize full chords ... just "pieces" of them. I always found a 2 3/4" bar adequate in terms of "reaching" notes in slant positions that I was usin' ... no matter where on the fretboard I was ... But, use whatever bar you feel comfortable with ... in the style you wish to play.

Keep in mind that the length of the tone-bar will greatly effect the ability to control it's butt with the thumb in slants, with the index finger placed "properly". Aloha,
