Glide guitar

Glide guitar is a technique for playing electric guitar in which the player holds the vibrato bar (sometimes erroneously called the tremolo bar on Fender instruments) and manipulates it while strumming, resulting in a wavering pitch. It was developed with and is usually associated with a Fender Jazzmaster or Jaguar-style vibrato system.^[1] It was popularized by Irish musician Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine on the band's releases You Made Me Realise (1988)^[1] and Isn't Anything (1988).^[2] Shields often combined this technique with a reverse reverb effect from a Yamaha SPX90 unit or Alesis Midiverb II, and would also utilize nonstandard tuning systems.^[3]
