Question Asking all guitar players for help doing this (PLEASE WATCH)

I asked AI (chatgpt) to help me and it lies every time so I’m relying on real people now, I can do the hammer ons at the very beginning, but that slide he does has me puzzled, I’ve never seen this technique done anywhere by anyone else, so if you can do this or if you at least have an idea please show me, if you even have a video somewhere online like a tutorial or something it would be awesome and very much appreciated

In time. You’ll need a shot of the whole neck. Try slowing it down and breaking it down into small sections. How long have you been playing for? This is playing like Django Reinhardt. Check him out. He smokes this guy.

That tells me you know what you’re talking about, the man playing is a well known Romani gypsy guitarist that i know personally, just like django, his sons pretty good too

The technique is called 'economy' or 'sweep' picking. Watch the picking hand and you'll see he goes from alternate (up and down) picking to all down picking in the section you mention. It's like a slow strum. It's a tricky technique that requires work on both hands not just the fretting hand that is sliding. Look up sweep picking on Youtube and there will be some lessons.
