Hey GMC, I recently noticed that when I bend my strings, it audibly flattens my other strings. I've never noticed this before, but it is there any way to avoid this?

I noticed it when looking at the Cliffs of Dover tab. Beginning with striking the open low E string, I bend the 15th fret high E string to a full step bend. The low E is supposed to continue ringing but it sounds terrible since it's now flat from bending the high E string.

Any ideas? I know EJ actually recorded this song on a Gibson, but he mostly plays Strats which is what I'm using. I was thinking maybe the tremolo system could affect it.
