Welcome to this super-quick guitar tip on soloing using sliding (aka glissando). Incorporating this technique into your soloing can add a new level of interest and variety to your playing.
The video is the “express” version of a longer, more comprehensive lesson, called “How to Sound Musical - Creative Sliding” and it’s part of the “How to Sound Musical” series.
Sliding is a technique in which you play a note on the guitar, and then move your fretting finger up or down the fretboard without releasing the string. This creates a fluent “rolling” sound. By using slides in your improvisations, you can add colorful contrast your solos, making them more fun and interesting.
In this video, I demonstrate this technique in combination with the String Fragment System™ (aka SFS) which is a fretboard navigation approach that allows you to easily move your melodic ideas everywhere on the fretboard.
If you're looking to break free from always playing inside the classic “box” shapes, be sure to sign up for our free mini course "SFS Fretboard Secrets". You’ll discover how the String Fragment System™ is the key to mastering the fretboard and taking your solos to the next level.
