I learned this from the Hotel California solo 👌🏻

They all learned it from Jimi Hendrix.

This technique alone should keep someone busy for about a couple weeks to a month

Dude, you have this way of clean and concise explanation of techniques that just clicks with me. It's awesome and really inspires me to try new things. Love the videos and lessons. 🤙

I remember seeing a video with Paul Gilbert teaching this technique. It's probably still buried away somewhere.

I feel that Nugent is underrated in his techniques. The intro to Stranglehold is something that I still can't play properly. It's a confusing rhythm/picking pattern. See if you can figure that one out!

remember the goat who invented the technic, Jimi Hendrix! and people wonder why he's considered fo be the best of all time!

I freaking love Audrey Hepburn. I need that guitar. Oh, and great lesson.

Hotel California is a really iconic example of this technique. Kind of confused me for a while, just did the bend and then quickly did the pre-bend but of course that doesn’t sound accurate. Thanks for the lesson man, really helped me figure out this technique.

Great Video Mike. It would be cool to see a Zakk Wylde greatest technique video.

I've been watching guitar channels on YT since 2006, and your teaching is always enjoyable and super wise. Thank you!

Incredible trick! great lesson. Another bend I don't ever see talked about is floyd rose specific. I call it the compensating Unison bend. Example: you fret the 1st string a on the 5th fret and the 2nd string G at the 8th fret and bend the G up to an A to complet the Unison bend... but on a floating bridge, the 1st string A goes flat when you bend the G up. This is where you bend up ever so slightly on the 1st string as well to get the note to stay true.

please never stop teaching/making guitar videos, you are my absolute favorite guitar youtuber and your energy/patience has made learning guitar a comfortable experience for me, no matter how long i play i can always learn more, and for that i thank you. <33

I have been dabbling with this bend on and off for AGES, Mike - I never thought to use the pick to mute the E string. Thanks! I'm going to practice the hell out of that.

I found your video today, and you explain stuff very very well… so many other teachers talk over your head. Not on purpose, but they are so used to doing it, it’s hard for them to explain it in an easy way. You have that gift dude ! Thanks

Slash uses it in his 1st solo in nightrain around the

This is a really good little lesson. I do this quite often but I’m kinda inconsistent with it. Rolling your picking hands over to mute the high E is a great way to make sure it doesn’t ring. Thanks man!

i heard this bend the just the other day and i’ve been struggling to learn it, then this video comes out and teaches me, your a life saver man

Great tutorial. Hendrix was fond of this bend. Learned it from a Paul Gilbert instruction dvd (Get out of my Yard) years back, but I think he taught it (or I naturally adapted it) by palming both strings with the bending finger and "rolling up" to the higher string as you pick it, which naturally dampens out the first bend as you release pressure off of it.
