[mechajesus2000]

No offense, but your musicians... don't deserve a Gibson SG... at all...

[feniel0414]

@mechajesus2000 im sorry that is the most ignorant thing i have ever heard anyone can and deserves any guitar they wish to play im a bass player for going on 5 months and i currently an using a 1979 usa made fender precsion bass whyyou ask cause i worked my ass off to get it. just because you own a piece of shit guitar dont mean someone you may be better then deserves less of a guitar.

@andrestorp

when u have normal slide u play first note and note where u slide but in legati slide u just play first than slide to another without picking it.

@ulrich537 the 0 string thing means an open string. and yes the electric is the same as the acoustic except you can do more with an electric than you can with an acoustic. i.e. the w/bar and different pedals that are used.

[ulrich537]

wats an 0 string?? and is the eletric guitar the same as the classis guitar??

[Lunarmoonbase2]

An ' 0' string is an open string. No fretting. It works the same for classical and electric guitars. Now learn to spell.

@Lunarmoonbase2 how do you slide from open string "0 fret" to, say, 6th fret?

[Lunarmoonbase2]

@hanzimaster I've never seen that, but I would just start at fret 1 and slide it to 6. If it were say, the 'D' string, you could fret the 'A' string at fret 5, which is the same note as an open 'D', and then slide it to the 11th fret, which would equate to 'D' string 6th fret.

@Lunarmoonbase2 thank you!

[realjuvelive]

thats easy

[LucaTurilli89]

But how to do a legato slide on a 0 free string? 0/0 slide?

[joakim456]

Isn't this just the same as normal sliding? Is there really any difference between legato slide and usual slide?

[VertigoIvn]

For example, in a normal slide (15/13, for example) it will sound like 15-14-13, but in Legato slide it will only sound 15-13, like a hammer on

[hanzimaster]

@VertigoIvn i think slide down will be written like 15\13 with stroke down?

[Raz180490]

@joakim456 The difference is that you don't strike the note that you slide to.

[joakim456]

@Raz180490 to answer my own question: there is no difference between legato slide and usual slide because their the same thing.

[tiny3607]

@joakim456 no

[notoriousstewie0]
