George uses finger slides to glide along either end of the fretboard. Figure 1 is a legato (smooth sounding) lick in E natural minor (E, F#, G, A, B, C, D). |

Figure 2A is a more rapid-fire legato lick he uses in E-minor blues (E, G, A, Bb, B, D). It can also be played with a series of hammer-ons and pull-offs as in in figure 2B. |

"Legato slides definitely sound differnt than hammer-ons or pull-offs. Finger slides also enable you to play certain things that would be difficult to do, without using right-hand taps or having a humongous fretboard reach," said George. Figure 3 is George's wide-stretch example in E natural minor. |
