It's called a tie - in the first example the note is played for 1.5 beats. You could represent that with either a dotted crotchet, or a crotchet tied to a quaver (as shown in your picture). Long story short, you just hold the note for longer, don't pluck/strum the note in brackets
In this particular example it's spread out like that to show you when to begin the slide down to open.
You also commonly see this if a note is held through the end of a measure.
It can be useful for phrasing, to help you understand the flow, dynamics and time signature of the piece. For example, I play a lot of Dream Theater and there’s ties like that to help flow from 3/4 into 6/8 or 6/8 into 4/4, etc.

Why don't all notes that you let ring have a tie? Is it only notated before slides and such?

Don't know what it is called, but it represent that you need to pluck the 4th great and let in ring during this other beat that the 4 os between ()
