GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Bending Accuracy & Vibrato
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 3 2011, 06:04 AM
Hi guys! I think that one of the things that we use to forget practising is bending and it is really bad when we don't get the correct pitch when we bend a string in a solo. I found this amazing video where Guthrie gives some tips and exercises to master this technique.
He shows how to play the Flight of the Bumblebee just with using bend...

This is an excellent video Gabriel ! I'm glad to see that Guthrie has been studying my vibrato series... haha, just kidding 
He does brilliantly explain something that I've tried to put into words before.. bending a string adding vibrato to it.. if you add vibrato to it but release it at the same time, then it will sound flat.. but if you compensate for the string tension, you should add vibrato and keep the string tension where it is.
The other thing he mentioned is my little way of pre bending notes and adding vibrato like Friedman, May, Schenker etc.. this is a really good video. Everybody needs to see this

What a good video - I hadn't seen this one - the bending Guthrie does in the beginning is extremely precise - wow!

That's a great lesson from the master himself!
Bending & vibrato are so important for us and it's essential to work on this techniques.

Guthrie is again showing what in-depth practice is. What an extraordinary player

Guthrie is a great guitarist. I wish he'd do more of those less technical pieces where the music can breathe more. That's a very instructional video, couldn't resist the temptation to pick up my guitar. Shouldn't have, now my arm's hurting again. 
He's got a good way of explaining things.

Nice, looks like it is recorded from IAs Freak Guitar Camp Guthrie often visits
