    If you ever hit a note like that performing live, BEND. Just bend, you're never more than a half step away from a good note. The bend will also give you some time to plan your next move.
    If the bend doesn't fix it, just bend harder and harder til the string snaps, hopefully taking your eye out so you can leave the stage.

      @gabrielfraser2109 4 роки тому +129

      @@Eli-rq8et Bending means bending the string across the fret. For strings at the bottom, you'll want to bend them up, for strings near the top, you'll want to bend them down. Takes some practice to do it neatly without disturbing the other strings. Just look up string bending tutorials on UA-cam, and you'll move on to vibrato before you know it.

    It’s unfortunate that he choked so bad on such a simple solo when he’s played a handful of better live solos on Jonas Brothers/original songs since he was, like... 15 years old. I mean, that stuff is likely not incredibly complex but it’s a heck of a lot better than what happened here! haha.
    He mainly plays rhythm though and is definitely not known for his guitar playing… so I’m not sure why he was given a guest solo gig at a major award show lol. My guess is that he probably just learns/practices solos and doesn’t improvise often, so he choked under pressure. It’s a shame he had to go down in flames like that. He’s proven himself to be a great songwriter in the past and the Jonas Brothers deserve a little more respect than they’re given imo, but this viral blunder did *not* help his case or the Jonas name sadly lol. 🙃

      A brilliant genius he is!! I never would have thought of that technique!!! I mean did you see the way he was bending the string and then went off tune, man that's some Eric Clapton type craft absolutely bloody brilliant!!!
