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!

Thank you very much for your reply!

I'll make sure to watch the tutorial and try your technique.
