    I taught myself to bend back in the late 60's/early 70's, when there was no You Tube, sheet music was written for piano, and live bands on TV were not filmed close enough to see how it was done. My solution for Mistake No 3, catching other strings, was to bend in the opposite direction, which severely limits which strings you can bend, basically just the G. Now, I'm an old dog trying to learn a new trick. And this is the first time I've seen anyone even acknowledge the problem.

      @paulamarina04 4 місяці тому

      the strings are meant to let you sound as good as possible, so intentionally sounding worse so they last longer sorta misses the point doesnt it. take care of your strings, but dont let that get in the way of your playing!!! dont be afraid to bend all the way up where you want to, even if the strings do snap its not the end of the world
      -maybe dont do a 3 tone bend on the high e string tho-

    I've found out that using the "blues guru bend" needs you to pivot your wrist beforehand(no pun intended 😉)
    And that limits other fingers from dancing around the fretboard
    I prefer keeping my hand straight most times and bend using the muscle in my fingers
    The wrist is useful if you have ladyfingers and use the ring finger to play a note 4 frets apart from the index finger
    Before arguing with me note that i used to use the wrist pivot technique back when i only played the pentatonic scale and was taught by the usual blues background instructors then when i began with the most basic Guthrie Govan and greg howe stuff i learnt using finger strength is better

  • @niekvanwensen
    @niekvanwensen Рік тому +9

    You can actually use “out-of-tune” bends if you do it correctly, for instance just slightly bending the minor third (but not all the way to the major third). And technically vibrato is also bending out of tune

    One thing I like to do is hitting two or more different notes chromatically in succession with a single bend, specially when playing with a different string gauge than I'm used to. That way I can get the feeling on how much strength I need to put to reach the pitches I want to.

    Download a pitch monitor on your phone so you can know how off your bend was. and remember bending to the correct note or pitch comes solely from your ears so practicing your relative pitch really helps.

    Why pivot? My fingers have more strength bending strings than the wrist and the wrist strains easier when even attempting a bend in a pivoted position, your fingers arent straight and it could damage your finger joints and tendons. Or maybe its my skill issue cuz im using flatwounds but even the unwound strings seem impossible to bend past a halfstep unless I bend my fingers.
    In essence what im saying is it feels like finger bending is way easier but I dont understand how to pivot without getting some sort of wrist injury.

  • @ianyoung8392

    Statement number 1 = watch country players
    Statement number 2 = Albert King and his Vibrato, and Vibrato in general. Not bending, that's not musical. It's a voice that rises and isn't static. Also check out Guthrie's observation on micro tonal bends in Blues as well as Jazz and Indian music.
    Statement number 3 = shredders, particularly from the 80's as well as session musicians use a flat index to mute as many strings as possible outside the note played with the fretting hand.
    Statement 4, there's no such thing as a bad note, just how you own it. Music comes alive when tension is present. The most tense note is rocks favourite, that devil note... b5
