How Slides Instantly Make Your Lead Sound Better

Get more on Patreon: Slides, more formally known as glissando, serve two main functions. Firstly, they allow for a smoother, connected movement between different neck and scale positions. And secondly, they offer a form of ornamentation or embellishment of our phrases, as an addition to other legato techniques such as string bending, hammer-ons and pull-offs. In short, slides are a very effective and intuitive way of injecting feeling and sophistication into our lead guitar playing. Even if the only scales you’re intimately familiar with are minor and major pentatonic, slides can help you to feel your way around them in a more expressive way.
