On this episode we have some exercises to tune our bends and improve the ability to hit the bent note in pitch.
One very common mistake is to bend a little below or above the actual note.
These exercises can help you improve your bending skills and overcome pitch issues so when you start playing scales, licks and solos you will sound like a pro.
I hope you enjoy!
