The Ultimate Bending Workout
No 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!

Sorry if you talk about this in another video somewhere, but how do you do unison bends like that with your floating trem? Do you have a stabilizer? Or is it technique?
What are you using for the tone? sounds very nice!
I'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.
Fantastic! I've been waiting for this one. My bending does indeed suck.
noiiiiice
Excellent! 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 ?
Cheers CJ! Yup vibrato will be next
Thanks Bradley! I'll practice this over the next week. What I really like is that even though it’s a workout, these 1.5 minutes feel like a legit metal track - makes you wanna play it just for fun.
Thanks dude, I always try and make the workouts more like mini songs!
That is what I really find engaging and inspiring about your lessons, they don't sound like a majority of boring tutorials and they really target the basic fundamentals. Any chance we may see some Jeff Loomis material?
Cheers John, glad to hear it! And yes, really do some Nervermore soon!
I need this. I'm pitchy
We gotta fix that!
Only suggested this like a week ago bro is a wizard 😭
Gotta please the people!
