GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Twinkle Twinkle Little Bumblebee

Posted by: bryanmoore Jun 26 2011, 03:45 AM

Greetings GMC,

Over the past week I've been focusing on string bending every note of the melody in songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Three Blind Mice, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. Highly recommend this exercise to anyone interested in getting your bends up to pitch. I can already tell it's paying off in my blues playing. Maybe Guthrie Govan's string bending arrangement of Flight of the Bumblebee will be my focus for next week!

Well done man! I saw that video where Guthrie plays the Flight of the Bumblebee only with bends! I'm sure that your bending technique is much more precise now!
