How do you know what note you are bending to and how much you have to bend to get the desired note. For example it says 17b (18) and another time it says 18b (20). 17b (18) -> fret the 17th and bend so it sounds like it is being played on the 18th -> bend up 1 semitone 18b (20) -> fret the 18th and bend so it sounds like it is being played on the 20th -> bend up 2 semitones or one tone To get this right you need to be able to "hear" the pitch you are bending to, be it a half tone or a whole tone, and then you need to practice enough that you can do it consistently. At first, you can fret the note, then try and do a bend that matches it, eventually you'll be able to do it by ear alone.
