Glissando and Portamento… those are pretty much the same thing, right?
Tbh, that’s the common belief of many guitarists! Unfortunately, they are missing out on a wonderful expressive device in Portamento by always resorting to the standard “one-finger slide” every time they see a line between two notes.
“Portamento in Italian means ‘carriage’ or ‘to carry’ one note to the next.” — Tariq Harb
Below in Part 1 of his lesson “On Portamento,” Tariq describes the distinct differences between Glissando and Portamento, beginning with the exact definitions of each. He then demonstrates both devices with exercises on the first and second string.
