guitar slides
- Scope note
- Objects that are pressed against the strings of a guitar while playing. Typically these are worn on a finger of the fretting hand, creating a glissando effect without touching the frets. Guitar slides can be professionally made, or they can be household objects, such as bottlenecks. They appear in many forms, and differ based on the type of guitar used or the style of the player.
