EvilPicnic	Date: August 2, 2006 @ 1:43 PM Guitar techniques is the shit. Guthrie is the shit. I see him on a big screen every time I walk through Denmark Street, and I nearly always stop and watch for a time. There are many ways to achieve a smooth gliss on the guitar: a) Using a metal slide, glass bottleneck, nail polish, knife, mobile phone etc. as a slide. b) Bending. c) Using the whammy bar (on most guitars). d) Sliding cleanly with your finger, keeping contact and pressure, but not too much. (although not a 'true' gliss when done fast the difference is slight). e) Using a pitch altering pedal/device (eg. Digitech Whammy). f) Using a B-bender (on some guitars). g) Bending the body of the guitar radically (careful!). Yeh? Yeh.
