AROUND THE BENDS, PART 2
More expressive string bending techniques
For video of this lesson, go to GuitarWorld.com/March2021
LAST MONTH, I introduced the expressive approach of playing all the notes of the E minor pentatonic scale (E, G, A, B, D) on the B string only, utilizing bending techniques to scoop into a note from below or swoop down to it from above, in the latter case by using a pre-bend and release. I'd now like to offer more examples of this soulful way of playing melodic lines.
