QUOTE (Frederik @ May 11 2009, 02:27 PM)  Its called raking, SRV does it a lot (he has uber muting skills). And again, mute all the other strings that the one that should ring out I believe it's raking, yeah. And as for muting when doing bends, I tend not to use my index finger for support when doing bend with ring finger per example, instead of that I lay it across as many strings as possible to do muting. I never actually thought of that before but I realized what I'm doing after watching some of my earlier videos, it kind a came naturally to me. Of course you don't have to apply same thing cause many don't do it that way, just sharing my personal experience.

QUOTE (Braer @ May 12 2009, 06:11 PM) yes, helped. But how do i know how long i have to bend to get it right? I have been practicing neoclassical three-level-solo beginner, (https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guitar/neoclassical-3-levels-beginner/), but i never feel i do the bends right It's bended long enough when you reach correct note. Bend is not just bend, it's reaching the note, you have to know how that note sounds like. Per example, to train semi tone bend just play a note, listen to it and then try to reach it by bending string one fret lower. For whole tone bend play note and reach it by bending string 2 frets lower. Each string AND spot on the neck demands different amount of power when doing bends so you cannot just "remember with muscles" how much to bend, you really need to LISTEN.

I used to struggle a lot about bending (actually I still have problems, but it has evolved a lot so far)
Three things that made a huge difference: - Using the thumb on the top of the neck, putting enough pressure so that the rest of your hand has something to move against. - Using more than a finger to help the bending (easiest is for me is using index, middle and ring all together to bend the string) - Muting the string above the bend ( for example, when bending 3th string upwards, index finger is on the 4th string, and I use the strength of middle and ring to bend the 3th string) Hope this helps a little

Doing every fret on the fretboard with every finger is a good way to practice bends, and get a very natural feel. It depends on how much time you spend on this, but bending/vibrato is definitely one of those things that will require time to really make it natural. You can rehearse the bending/vibrato technique in one year to be perfect for example, and later on you just play, and it will refine itself, creating a smooth natural tone. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
