The Bending is a quite common Technique (mainly) used on Electric Guitar especially in Blues and Rock (and other hundreds of Styles). By using this technique you will be able to bend the string and make the note pitch going higher. It is indeed a quite difficult technique and if you are a Beginner, you will probably want to try some of the exercise on stage one for a couple of weeks.
The Bending is a quite challenging technique for many different reasons.
- It is really hard to bend the string
- It is also really hard to get the right pitch
There are tones of different exercises. We will try to keep it as much practical as we can. This technique is better explained with a practical example. But before we start with the lessons, have a quick look at how the Bending is written on the Tab.
