Ok guys! Since today, we're going to talk about bending, I thought it would be a good thing to know what kind of stuff do you practice to improve your bending and what methods are useful for you?

I'm asking this, because these articulation techniques (bending and vibrato) are not the ones to be practiced like exercises that much wink.gif

Can't wait to talk on all of this tonight! biggrin.gif

An interesting topic indeed smile.gif

I agree, there aren't that many bending exercises out there. As for me, I usually just take a solo with lots of good bends and learn it. smile.gif For example I take a Pink Floyd solo and listen and watch Gilmour's playing. It can be another band, as long as the song is slow enough - Satriani's The Forgotten part 1 comes to mind, that one has some good vibrato, and of course, most of Vai's stuff... That's why I struggled so much to achieve good sustain, because I couldn't develop skills much without it smile.gif

The other way I practice it is to download a slow blues backing track and try to work on different bending techniques (1/2 step, whole step, pre-bends) and so on...

Alrighty! This sounds very good! I used to do a lot of this stuff through time, but I found out that a lot of challenging bends come from the sounds of other instruments biggrin.gif try this one for instance! It's a killer, but if you master it, it's gonna offer you a control beyond imagination:



Try and emulate the lead lines of the clarinet wink.gif

Wow, what's this, a Turkish jazz? biggrin.gif It sounds awesome, and these leads are challenging indeed! ohmy.gif
Now you reminded me of one piece, but this one may be classified as shred on nay biggrin.gif However the intro lead would be really interesting to emulate on a guitar...
