Here's my latest guitar tutorial on guitar bending tricks: do's and dont's and common mistakes to avoid!
When it comes to bends, nothing is more important than understanding the trick of WHERE on your fingers/wrists that bends come from, and how to do it without mushing the string around with finger extension.
...Unfortunately, most creators skip over or NEVER even talk about this aspect of bending... which is where I come in. ;-)
This guitar bends lesson explores:
- The 2 hand positions you use when playing guitar, and which one to use for bending
- The difference between "up bends" and "down bends"
- EXACTLY here on your finger to execute string bends
- The "Fish Hook" string bending trick to effortlessly and accurately execute bends
- Examples of how even "technical" players use this string bending technique
- My go-to guitar string bending exercise to train technique
- Good and bad pain you might experience while string bending
- A massive FAQ section on virtually any problem you might run into while string bending
We will also talk about string bending technique on electric guitar versus acoustic guitar.
This KZfaq video will ultimately guide you through the best guitar bending exercise and will truly elevate your string bending guitar skills.
I'm here to help you develop your bending strings guitar technique - this tutorial covers everything from string bend basics to advanced guitar bending tips.
