From giving guitar lessons to young kids i deal with this quite a bit, first off i guess i would recommend supporting your fingers when you bend (which by the picture i THINK your doing), also possibly try a lighter gauge string.

It's best to keep things at a slow pace and keep the fingers relaxed from time to time by taking regular breaks during practice sessions. Bending exercises (aside from being a bit boring
 ) are putting lots of strain on the fingers, specially when you're starting with practicing bends. There is no need to actually press that hard, and the relaxation will come in time as well, so for now just try to make breaks so your fingers doesn't hurt. Practice the bends higher on the fretboard where the tension is a bit less, and practice them very slowly with the metronome. Try to fret the string just behind the fret and with the tip of the finger, this will give you better control and less strain. Here is a small video that I've made about bending and practicing bending & vibrato, it's not much but may serve as a guiding point. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=329234 -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

It happens when you start to bend, no worries.
Just try not to practice bends that much, you can get more power and strength with playing chords only etc. Give it some time, it'll pass eventually.

I had that problem long ago when I was practicing on acoustic guitar. That was really hard. Later when I moved to electric it felt like I got rid of 3 tons load on my back. Maybe you can try that and your fingers will have more strenght. As Muris said, don't overdo it. If you feel pain get some rest and continue. Chords are also good for left hand strenght, but not just simple chords
Try some with more stretches.

QUOTE (Jenbu @ Aug 11 2009, 11:26 AM) yeah thanks I will try that for strenght but is it too late to say it only hurts in my finger tips? :S Hmm that is pretty normal when you are doing a particular technique excessively. It happens to me also if I get the urge to practice a new technique or one I haven't practiced in some time and do it a little too much. Even though I have built strong clauses if they are not used to the particular/new montion they will hurt. My advice is to give it a rest (1-2 days). Also when practicing bending do it in small portions 15 min maybe then rest for some time as it can be hard on fingers. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

It's all about pushing the strings up with your fingers, try to find a correct angle, and do it lightly. Press just behind the fret so you require less force.
And be patient, it will take some time to do it properly!
