Im having trouble sliding on something like 3-4 or 2-4 at a pretty fast speed and making it sound clean. Any practice tips.

Umm...slide your arm faster. Anyone can slide the entire neck in half a second, you just need to move your arm quicker.
put some plastic sheeting on the floor. Cover it with soapy water, and you'll be moonwalking your entire set.

thks, very helpful post yourself.
I agree a lighter touch will help. In addition, to assist in speed and timing use a Metronome.

I agree with Garett Mireles.
I'm basically a beginner too,so I don't post.
Would like to share my experience on slidings.
Firstly, I use the one finger per fret method for my fretting hand. So when position correctly, the thumb on the fretting hand is behind the neck nearly opposite the middle finger. Am not sure if this is the correct term for it but I call it the box position.
So when i do slides, I always "slide" into box positions. This helps prevent awkard stretches, helps to connect the notes after a slide and it allows a riff to sound smooth.
My lessons on sliding into positions was when I was learning the song called Feel So Good by Jamiroquai. The sliding appears on the synth bass part of the song.
Hope that helps.
