The Ultimate Bending Workout
Added 2025-05-23 15:32:35 +0000 UTCNo matter how long you've been playing guitar I firmly believe that bending is something you should be continuing practicing. It doesn't matter how fast you are or how good your technique is, if your bending accuracy and quality sucks then it's automatically gonna make you sound like an amateur.
Achieving consistent and accurate bending pitch is a discipline that can take years to perfect and something that requires frequent upkeep to maintain. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned virtuoso I would highly, highly recommend adding this bending workout to your regular practice routine!
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

2025-07-24 16:36:58 +0000 UTCI'm mostly self taught and have always used only one finger to do bends with. Only lately have I seen most people use extra fingers for support. I think I manage the bends fine with one, because of doing it that way for so long. But I am now wondering if I should start practicing with more than one now, and break the habit, or if it's fine that I keep on only using the one if I feel comfortable that way.

2025-05-24 14:02:28 +0000 UTCExcellent! like the last "technique " video for whammy bar bending practice is rare! This is spot on and very melodic . I like hearing different bends back to back to get them imbedded in mind and hands. Also I like to hear the way you end it vibrato blend to next notes short and cut off etc that a big part of the sound. I suggested this type of thing a ways back thanks for coming through . Hope to see more on this type of thing maybe vibrato next ?

2025-05-24 01:07:35 +0000 UTCThanks Bradley! I'll practice this over the next week. What I really like is that even though itβs a workout, these 1.5 minutes feel like a legit metal track - makes you wanna play it just for fun.
