not sliding but when a finger pushes back and forth to make that elongated sound. lika a wave which about to die out. it just might be a slur

Answer 15

a whammy bar produces the same effects, but with more power to bend the note up or down

u have ur hand on the guitar bar, ur finger on one of the notes, and ur just moving the tip of that finger back and forth. and it makes that sound that u can find on keyboards these days.

you bend the note when you slide your finger inside of a fret; if there is another name for it, I dont know it tho
