Example 4.4 Using a slide in “Keanae, HI” from Some Towns and Cities by<br />
Benjamin Verdery. Measures 19-21.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> movement, “Keanae, HI” from Some Towns and Cities by Benjamin<br />
Verdery, <strong>the</strong> per<strong>for</strong>mer uses a slide to create glissandi in <strong>the</strong> melodic voice. The use of a<br />
slide can be found throughout <strong>the</strong> guitar literature in Rock and Blues music. In those<br />
styles it is used to play notes just slightly flat or sharp of pitch, as well as to create<br />
glissandi to and from pitches.<br />
The slide is a metal or plastic cylinder that slips over anyone of <strong>the</strong> left hand<br />
fingers. As seen in <strong>the</strong> first couple of examples in this chapter, <strong>the</strong> composer should give<br />
<strong>the</strong> guitarist a couple of seconds to prepare <strong>the</strong> slide (Example 4.5).<br />
