Brad Bender Demonstration

[MaloneyGuitars]

I once made a pedal for my yamaha acoustic. I put it in E tuning and made the g string go up to g# so I could have major and minor chords. I also had a sliding capo with a glass ring that would stay in place when I let go of the spring loaded capo (a common capo- you know, the silver one with the spring)

So... where can we get this acoustic bender?

[AllUrUtubeRbelong2me]

It sounds cool, but the video for me is horribly corrupted and I can hardly see anything.

@AllUrUtubeRbelong2me i swiched to 240p and it helped a lot.

[AllUrUtubeRbelong2me]

@flatpikinguitar Dude, thanks! Why in the world would the lower quality video....be higher quality!? I never would have tried it if you didn't reply to my comment from over a year ago! Thanks again flatpikingguitar!

[flatpikinguitar]

[ReginaldSnoo]

But where can we get one?!

[flatpikinguitar]

[bluet5jim]

Brad where can I buy the Brad B-Bender? Can it be put on my tele? I already have Glaser B-Bender on my tele now thanks bluet5jim

[kkatarn327]

Wow, that is a really awesome idea!!!

[Froike]

Brad...great pickin...great product. Could the pedal device be adapted to electric instruments too? I've played w/Hip Shot for years...was never wild about it.

[CMcGouran]

It's great to see the top of Brads head a lot. Bender sounds good though

[soupie]

hello, having never used a b-bender or even really played any country, I was wondering what the advantage of bending one string is? is it just to create a nice pedal-tone? beautiful guitar work in all your videos, dan crary told me you were great, and if it comes from his mouth it must be gospel:)

[PACARTNEY]

incredible ! simply amazing , great guitarrist also a great singer and perfect on stage, well done !

[mothermoore]

Did you try having more than one sting being bent, how about a seperate pedal board with all 6 pedals going to all 6 stings,I'm sure you gave this thought already, probably to unruly -thanks

[SunnyCool]

Geez that's awesome!! Way to go, nice!

[jfclay]

Gene Parsons has an acoustic bender that might be worth checking out.

[BradDavisMusic]

There have been several Tele guys that have had benders of different designs, maybe the most notable was Clarence White (The Byrds). My old boss, Marty Stuart, now owns Clarence's odl Tele and while I was on the road with Marty I got the idea about making a b-bender for my acoustic. --Brad

[2manyguitars]

Didn't Jimmy Page have a B-bender on his Tele? Your system looks like it does the same thing.

[sleighte]

Albert Lee did too, but this isn't a Tele, so there's no rear mounting or messing around with the bridge or strap pegs. It's on an acoustic and uses the tuners and a pedal - that's what makes it neat :)

[glitchboy]

where can i get one> help me.

[BradDavisMusic]

Takamine is currently working on a production model. Stay tuned! --Brad

[clewi1091]

@BradDavisMusic Did Takamine ever get a working model of this into production? Thanks.
