Abstract
A guitar having strings to be played in conjunction with a manually-held slide bar has an indicator for the proper position of the slide bar along the length of the strings. This position indicator is located between two adjacent strings, the strings on one side of the indicator being tuned to a first major chord and certain of the strings on the other side of the indicator being tuned to a different major chord. The position indicator includes a carrier resiliently mounted at opposite ends and carrying upstanding longitudinally spaced projections, each projection forming a pair of opposed longitudinally spaced abutments engageable by the slide bar at the correct positions along the strings.
