Sliding is just another technique that gives more
interest and life to notes. The idea is that you are going to
fret a note (or notes) and then move (slide) to another fret without
taking the pressure off your finger (fingers) as you move.

In this example you are fretting the note on the 3rd string,
5th fret and sliding up to the 7th fret. The curved line
over top is used to indicate that this is a legato slide.
This basically means that you are not going to pick the
note at the 7th fret, you will hear it ring after sliding
up to it.

In this example you are fretting
the note on the 3rd string, 7th fret and sliding down to the
7th fret. Again the curved line over top is used to indicate
that this is a legato slide. |

Here you are fretting the note
on the 3rd string, 5th fret and sliding up to the 7th fret.
But because there is not a curved line over the top, you are
going to pick the note at the 7th fret after sliding. |

This is the same as above, only
sliding down. |

Here you are sliding up to the 3rd string, 7th
fret from an undetermined fret below (usually 2-3 frets).
The idea here is that you are not hearing 2 notes, as in the
examples above. This is a quick slide, and is heard as one
note. |

This is the same as above, only sliding down
to the 3rd string, 7th fret. |
