For instance I cannot bend the 7th fret up a full step to an E. I have to almost break the string I bend it so hard, and even then it doesn't yield a full step. Any suggestions?

The second one I have now is a Taylor 414-CE with medium Elixirs on it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I think it's just the nature of the strings on that instrument You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
