Vibrato effect
I call it the vibrato effect because the sound is going to reverberate in an up and down way. How do you do this, you simply sound whatever note you want to play and while holding it slide it upward and downward in a uniform manner, sometimes you can slide it up only for a long period to really feel it or vice versa; people who play the blues use this technique very
much.
Hammer-on and pull-off
This is when you are holding a note on a particular string and without plucking the string you use your finger to tap the next note to play it, that is called the hammer-on.
The Pull-off technique is the opposite of the hammer-on. It’s like releasing the second note that you hammered. When you are holding two notes on a particular string, releasing the higher note makes it a pull-off.

This technique is very very important, it makes you feel like a pro whenever you are soloing. Let’s assume you want to play a note, for example, C, the note before C is B, so instead of playing C directly, play B and immediately slide to C. You can do it for subsequent notes, just make sure it sounds cool. You can even decide to do that and add the vibrato technique.
