  • could someone tell me what im doing wrong?, when im doing a whole step bend, it makes noise when i release it, im covering the string with the right hand but its making noise. why?

  • Hi Josh,

    Sometimes when bending a string, the muting of the string when released actually happens with the underside of the fingers on your left hand. That's not necessarily the case here, but there's a lot of places where your left hand is used for muting in combination with your right hand.

  • great!! 0.12 strings? used in this gguitar??

  • .11

  • try turn the guitar round like albert :P

  • hows the action on your guitar? how many turns did you make on the tuning pegs while restringing? is the bridge flush to the body?

    My guitar has the fender spec. set up...why can't I do these bends? the force just gets too strong! With my other strat, i can do these, but with my current strat, I cant! HElp!

  • sounds awesome, been playin guitar a year and some change now. i play 10's just cause my friend uses them, is there a big difference sound wise with other strings??

  • Can anyone give me any amp tuning tips to try and duplicate this sound ? I have a fender Strat , using 10's, tuned a 1/2 step down and using a Fender GDEC 30. Pretty cool little practice amp with all kinds of neat settings but I cannot get this sound. Thanks in advance for any help.

  • flat wounds?

  • thanks. you teach well. and you give the best stevie on youtube without a doubt.

  • p.s.  sorry, AlBert's secret.

  • Yep ! and put a bit phase too it with the speed knob off !!! (Aldert's secret)

  • Im noticing the same problem. It wasn't hardly noticable at all until I got the fender blues jr amp. Guess that shows how crappy my other amp was. It just makes a noise(bass) when I bend up a whole step.

  • yep.. I play 11's. I'm guessing he uses 10's
