Step 1
Identify a slide by looking for an arc over two fret notations and a forward or backward slash between the two notations on the guitar tab.
-
Step 2
Press your finger on the indicated string and fret indicated before the slash. If there is a forward slash between a "3" and "5" on the first line of the guitar tab, you will slide your finger from the third fret up to the fifth fret on the E string.
-
Step 3
Pluck the string to achieve the desired sound.
-
Step 4
Slide your finger up or down to the fret that's after the slash. Slide your finger up if a forward slash is used, or down for a backslash.
-
Step 5
Maintain steady pressure on the string as you slide your finger up or down the fret board.
