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

i use the boring way for practice bends tongue.gif

i trow random notes on Roland Cube Looper, and then try to bend and hit the right pitch from one half/step, Whole step etc.
also been bending like hell on 0'11/0'12 strings, and change back to 0'9 last night and i was like wow : o! i am a beast biggrin.gif

I can say that 0.11's are hurting like hell biggrin.gif I just came back from the rehearsals right now and had a little lick to throw in which involved some bending, on the drop C PRS, brrrr... that kinda hurts sad.gif

One of the best advices someone gave me is that THE BEND COMES FROM THE RIST NOT THE FINGERS! that's the key right there


Yes Daniel! I agree, although, I've seen some folks doing it from the fingers and it didn't sound bad smile.gif it feels queer for me, so I'll stick to the wrist wink.gif

Uhm...I have never really practiced bends on their own...until I got the feedback of you instructors that my bends are weak...so I am really looking forward to the chat tonight!


Dude! Articulation is the most important tool a guitarist has smile.gif your level of expression is gauged by the articulation you use in your playing. So get to bending mate!
