String squeak is a term for the squeak sound a guitar makes when a musician quickly slides their fingers along the string while playing. This normally takes place when the player must move a considerable distance up or down the neck of the instrument to reach a certain position.
Examples
String squeak is considered unprofessional by some listeners or music technicians[citation needed]. It is sometimes eliminated through overdubbing. Others feel that it makes the music authentic. Some pieces where string squeak is evident are:
- "Every Breath You Take" by the Police
- " Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd
