It is basically just a guitar on your lap and instead of fretting everything, you have a small wooden or metal rod to slide up and down the guitar. There are also guitars designed especially to be slide guitars, and usually they have shorter necks and are designed to play on your lap. You can also play it like a regular guitar, and have a finger slide (rod that goes around your finger like a big metal thumb cap) Paul McCartney's guitarist at live shows plays like this so he can do effects for songs like Band on the Run.

He's playing a lap steel guitar with a bullet casing as a slide.
If you have to ask, then yes.
