    You start by putting your finger on the 3rd fret, strike the string and slide it to the 5th. You have to maintain pressure while passing over the 4th and 5th frets. It takes some getting used to, but not too difficult. It’s a very common move in TAC. Good luck on your guitar journey in 2026!

    I wanted to mention a couple of the other moves, next to the Slide, that you will be using a lot, particularly while soloing or playing lead.

    Hammer on: involves fretting a string very quickly to change and already vibrating string to a higher note. For example, an open E string, hammered on the first fret becomes an F note. You have to “hammer” it in a quick motion near the metal fret to get optimum effect. Too slow and you mute the string instead of hammering it

    Pull off: Kind of the opposite of a hammer on, releasing a note with a slight flick as if to pick the string with your fretting hand.
