How to read guitar tabs : The SlideThe slide is a very popular technique that adds
a certain
feel to a song by connecting two notes.
For the above example, begin by playing the
first note on
the second fret of the 2nd string and then slide
your finger to the
fourth fret and then play that note by picking the same string again.
 A downward straight line means that you slide
from that
note down to a lower fret (e.g. from the fourth fret to the second fret
in the
example below.)  Sllide VariationsThe Legato SlideWhen the straight line between two notes has a slur sign above it, the slide is called a Legato slide. The only difference is that instead of picking the string twice you only need to pick the string once in a Legato slide. The Decorative SlideDecorative slides are usually used for adding effects to a song. This type of slide can be seen as a straight just before or after a note. Slide up or down the fret depending whether the line is upwards or downwards. The fret to which you slide to is not important and hence it is not shown in the TAB.
