An idea for you in return, go crazy on your "Tags" so more people will see this video, even random shit that doesn't pertain to what you are doing like "American Idol", "Guns" and "Punched in the face during rimjob" - or whatever comes to mind! Thanks again, keep up the good work!

1.When bending, how do you prevent from getting caught in the other strings and getting unwanted noise?

2.When I bend or do vibrato, my wrist seems to tighten up and make the effect nearly uncontrolable. It's faster using just my fingers, but still not much control. Are there any exercises or tips to train your wrist to do a propper bend/vibrato for a fast Rock tempo? I'm confused on how to control it with my left hand.

...Pt 2

Then copy the ones you like. Do this a lot. You may be tightening up because you are trying too hard to get this down. As your hand gets stronger it will get easier.

@DJ80s Try playing bends on acoustic for 2 minutes per day for a week and afterwards play on electrics

Also when starting out stay around the 12th fret, that is the best area the begin bending and eventually work your way down the neck. You may notice it is a lot harder to bend say g string 2nd fret for typical songs like Back in Black ac/dc - and also keep them on the B, G and high E strings to get things down (ignore the 3 thickest strings to begin with and do them later down the road)

[brucedarren]

hahah, me too, but that is more for the crowd who is into getting punched in the face during a rimjob, anything to appeal to a variety of people, yeah?

if i saw "punched in the face during rimjob," I might have to stay away from the video!
