This free guitar lesson by Peter Vogl is a follow up lesson to our videos on whole step and half step bends. In those videos we used our third finger to bend the string. In this lesson we'll learn how to bend with our 1st, 2nd, and 4th finger. As you progress as a guitar player having the ability to bend with multiple fingers will be a useful tool.
Watch the lesson: Quicktime
We previously learned how to bend with the 3rd finger. Let's review.
Now let's try using our 2nd finger or "middle" finger
Try using your first finger or "pointer" finger to bend the string
The fourth finger bend is fairly difficult and something we don't play unless absolutely necessary
Bends is a guitar lesson by Jody Worrell that takes a detailed look at playing bends. This downloadable Quicktime video lesson will cover basic bends, bending a note while sustaining another note, pre-bends, and vibrato. We've also included a jam track so you can practice the new bends you've learned. $4.99
