Double Stop Slide Problem - Please Help

Hi,

I'm trying to practice a song from Rockschool Grade 4 (Funkometer), and I'm having a real problem with the multiple double-stop slide shown in the image I've attached to this post. [br][br]I either lose any volume by the time I've done the last slide, or I manage to make it buzz by sliding short on one of the four slides.

Is there any resource on this site that discusses how best to approach this technique? I've searched YouTube endlessly, and there's nothing that deals with this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This tutorial on funk style guitar covers that technique.

That type of move requires a few things all working in tandem.

1. Lock your fingers into place on the fretted notes.

2. Place thumb solidly on back of neck to use as a pivot.

3. Slide your fingers back & forth.

The real trick involved here is to stay relaxed & smooth while maintaining enough pressure to keep the fretted notes ringing.

Hope that helps!

A good compressor pedal helps, too

Hi,

Thank you for the advice. I've added a compressor pedal to the chain, which seems to have taken some of the variation out of it, but my basic technique still needs work.
