bending a secret..? lol thats a base technique of guitar playing

[tccapone]

its not really a secret at all, its basic, common guitar knowledge:P

[mdwayne74]

Nice lesson, thanks!

[Saimenism]

@theothecoolguy i do the exact same thing! because the 3rd string doesn't go off the fretboard when bending it a full step :)

[ultimategamer07z]

you're not alone, i do the excact same thing.

lol, noob

[tt5865]

most do

It's not harmonics, lol. I know how to "squeal", do pinch harmonics and natural harmonics.

It's a full bend on whatever fret and then add some vibrato to it... I realized I couldn't do it because of:

REALLY old strings

Lack of a proper gear set up (played on a friends line6 effects pedal and went nuts)

Thanks for the help though :D I've come a little ways in 10 months... I'm learning songs by ear whenever college permits it... :D

[theothecoolguy]

I think you mean harmonics, blackeagles. Look up either pinch, artificial, whammy-bar or natural harmonics, I'm sure that'll help you.

1st: up

2nd: up

3rd: down

4th: down

5th: down

6th: down

For some reason, I find it easier to bend down, except for the two highest strings, where the string easily goes off the fretboard.

[FantaFreakftw]

E: up

B: up

G: up

D: up

A: down

E: down

Am I alone with this? I somehow find upwards bending more comfortable...

remember when I was a kid practicing on bendings and my mother believed I was torturing kitties.. : ) eheh
