How to Play Slide Guitar Solos

"Hi, I'm Mike Lais, and on behalf of Expert Village, I bring you soloing tips and techniques. The first tip I'm going to talk to you guys about is the slide.

You can just pick any note. Let's just say, for example purposes, we're going to start on the fifth fret of the B, or which is an E note. Ok? So, for me to play this with a slide, I'm going to start down on the third fret and I'm going to slide up to it, trying to make it so that this note lands on the beat.

So, one more time. That's one, two, three, four."
