Guitar bends (also referred to as “string bending” or “bending”) are produced by moving the stopped (held down) string with the fretting hand in a direction perpendicular to its axis and parallel to the fingerboard. String bends are one of few ways to achieve micro-tonality, especially blue notes, on the guitar.
Guitar bends give your guitar solos a very vocal-like quality. The technique is performed much the way it sounds; by ‘bending’ the guitar string.
Discover How To Play Every Type Of Guitar Bend
Below are a few examples of basic guitar bends that you might find in music.
This is a full-step bend and half step bend. Fret the 7th fret of the G string and strike the note. Immediately bend the note so that its pitch sounds a whole step higher (span of 2 frets). Strike the 2nd note and bend it so that its pitch sounds only a half step (span of 1 fret).
Bend and release. Play the note so it begins at the original pitch, bend it up one whole step, and then release the bend; returning to the original tone.
Bend and hold.
Pre-bend and pre-bend and release. A pre-bend occurs when you bend the note up before you strike the note.
These are just a few of the types of guitar bends that you’ll discover in the program. With “Guitar Bends Masterclass” we’ll cover every type of guitar bend.
