  • Hi GMC-ers! Welcome to my new beginner lesson in which you can learn some new bend and slide exercises through nice melodies. This is a perfect lesson for those who want to learn the basics of these techniques.

    The key is D Minor and first we play it at the tenth fret. It's on a low tempo so it's quite easy to play, but be sure to pay attention to the accurate bends! Let's learn which notes we can bend in a minor scale and play them slowly, because with faster bends we can't correct them and there is a chance that we can be out of tune. After some slide notes we'll continue at the fifth fret D minor and finish with slide note melodies.

    Techniques:
    * Bends
    * Slides
    * Alternate Picking

    If you have any questions:
    * Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
    * My Personal Board
    * General Forum

    Enjoy this lesson!/ Laszlo
