Forgive me if this has been posted before but I was thinking to myself about how I play and I realize that there's one thing that I do quite a lot; a "signature move" if you will. It's stupid simple but I call it the Semitone Slide. And yes, it's awesome enough to necessitate bold italics, lol. Anyway, I just slide down one semitone from whatever note I'm currently on. Simple? Yes. Funky? Damn straight!
So does anyone have any signature moves they'd like to share? Names are required  !

So I stick around for a while now. Of course now I have to help load the PA and all.  |

I think thats what you mean. I do it too, a lot.

Let's call it the "tritone wiggle." you hit an open string, let's say the A string, then find the major 3rd and minor 7th tritone on the D and G strings. Slide into the double stop from the fret below (pitch wise), and wiggle (slide up and down and up) as the notes decay. Flatwounds and low action make this much easier. |

This signature move has its drawbacks - I tend to smudge ink from the line above my signature between the first and second knuckles on my pinky finger, which then smudges everything else I write.  |

I do something very similar, though I find it works better when I slide from from E to F.
YMMV, of course.
