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!
