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.

It is really hard to explain in words how to play the bending. In this example you notice that the second note on the 7th fret has a arrow pointing up saying “full”. That means you will have to play the 7th fret and then bend the string two frets up (full) which is the equivalent 9th fret. Same thing on the second bar. You have the note played on the 8th fret with a full bending (two frets) reaching the 10th fret.

  • Stage 1 – Getting the Right Pitch
  • Stage 2 – Bending and Pentatonic
  • Stage 3 – Bending and Major/Minor Scale
  • Stage 4 – Chromatic Approach Bending
  • Stage 5 – Bending and Vibrato (Intermediate/Advanced)
