The slap technique has been "borrowed" from bass players, who certainly use it the most. It deals with playing a note with a finger of the right hand holding the pick in your hand normally. This finger (usually the middle or the ring finger) takes the inferior part of that string and pulls it away from the fretboard about one centimeter. The string is then immediately released, literally "slapping" against the fretboard: the sound of the resulting note is very dry and percussive.
The slap technique is usually used in funky rhythm, as well as in melodic lines. Let's look at an example based on a typical funky rhythm in F# minor. The slap is identified by the letter m above the single dotted notes.

This term is used to indicate both a very common technique with guitarists, and an accessory thats "worn" on a finger of the left hand. This accessory is actually called a bottleneck, when it's made of glass, or a thimble if it's metal. Both are used to play the slide guitar, which can be a common guitar used to play a particular style or technique (blues, country), or it could be the steel guitar for instance, an instrument devoted exclusively to playing this technique.
In a majority of the cases, the term slide is associated with a movement that allows one note to pass to another, on the same string, by sliding the finger between the two notes, creating one sound. The symbol that identifies the slide consists in a inclined dash that is tilted depending on the direction: tilted right passes from a low note to a higher one, tilted left passes from a higher to a lower note. In either case, you will find the letter s above the dash.
In the following country example, in G major, you can see how the use of the slide distorts the normal execution.

String skipping can be used whenever you jump from one string to another, and is an action that is used often on the guitar. In reality, this technique is a complex system of picking thats not easy to play because it is usually based on the speed of play, with the practical difficulties of obtaining a clean sound (rule = all notes must be heard). The example is a pattern that uses string skipping on triads. Pay attention to the picking and the correct fingering of the left hand.

This is the picking on the chords: anyone who has ever played the guitar has performed strumming when performing a classical accompaniment to a song. The picking can be alternate
