Slide guitar

Japanese: スライド・ギター(英語表記)slide guitar
Slide guitar
A type of guitar playing technique. Instead of pressing the strings against the frets with the fingers of the left hand, a thick iron rod or cylinder is slid over the strings to produce a portamento sound. It may also refer to a type of guitar suited to this playing technique. A typical example is the steel guitar used in Hawaiian music, and in mainland America, steel guitars are used in country music. In addition, in old-style country music such as bluegrass, an acoustic guitar with a resonator called a Dobro guitar is hung horizontally from the neck and played using the slide technique.
