You asked for suggestions on how to improve on this first teaching video. My suggestion is: don’t change anything! This is the clearest, most comprehensive lesson on steel bending that I have ever seen, and one of the best over-all guitar lessons on TH-cam.
Agreed! In addition to absolutely beautiful and haunting guitar playing, this video is one of the best instructional videos I've seen. Been woodshedding with it for days and shared it with a few friends.
Being able to teach effectively is more difficult than one would think. You do it very well. Extremely well. Very natural. You explain what, why, when and where. Instead of playing the lick and say there ya go!!
Ah thanks mate, that's super kind of you to say. I genuinely enjoy teaching and love the challenge of trying to make things easier to understand and digest 🙏🏻
This is easily the most effective video I've ever seen for mimicking pedal steel bends on 6 string guitar and there are a lot of good videos out there. Thanks
Wow thank you so much buddy! It was actually the very first lesson I uploaded so I’m very pleasantly surprised to hear that it has done the trick for you! Thanks again for the encouraging comment 🙏🏻🍻
I like the mood the lamps set. I had a guitar teacher years ago that had a lamp lit room that was just relaxing and cozy. We would do an hour lesson and then just sit and talk music for two more. He would introduce me all kinds of music. Put on an album, talk about it and demonstrate. He taught me how to listen to music as well as play. Your videos have that mood. 👍
Ah man, that’s great!.. sounds very much like my approach to teaching too. Nothing better than sharing these sounds with people and seeing the inspiration strike 🙏🏻🧡
Really enjoyed this tutorial. Never realized all the possibilities on stretching triad shapes. I use an .011 high E set, so I might change to .010 or .009 on another guitar to facilitate these bends. I use a glass slide a lot in between riffs. The thinner strings do not allow me to slide. Thank you. I'll be back!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the lesson! I have another steel bends lesson coming soon so stay tuned! I find 10's to be a perfect compromise so have stuck with them for quite some time now.
Awesome lesson about triads/bending, really love it, you make us easy and clear to know how to use the theory/intervals to make beautiful melodic embellishments. Your channel is full of really quality content. Thanks a lot Alex!
The whole time watching I'm thinking to myself how much I dig your tone, then you mentioned the decibelics klon and it all made sense! I've got one in purple that I run through a 1965 vibrolux and its a damn hard sound to beat. Excellent video 10/10 no notes
Some 3 years ago I decided to actually try to learn a bit of theory after 30+ years of playing. That has been a very interesting journey with quite a lot of frustration. Have bought many books and watched endless you tube videos. Most has not been helpfull at all. Maybe I am at a point now where Im more open/ready for this kind of theory/practice, but I can honestly say that this is he best and most usefull I have ever watched. I know there a lots to practice and work on, but for the first time I dont feel frustrated, actually pretty calm on optimistic. Thank you Alex 😀
Absolutely! I have a studio session where I’ve been asked to mimic country guitar and your video has totally helped me see and understand the concept fully!
Man you are so generous and honest.. This is has to be one of the best lessons on this subject.. Congratulations.. Please don’t change a lick ! Subed indeed..🎉
Thank you so much John, such a kind comment and very encouraging! I will film more lessons very soon, perhaps I could break down some ideas for Honeysuckle Rose!
Great video Alex. I toured many years ago with country bands, and later on adapted many of those country licks into my blues and R&B playing. I teach now, and still love learning new things to share with my students. You showed me some licks I remember hearing from the great country pickers, but never quite got around to learning. Looking forward to more. Total quality. Many thanks. Steve in Santa Cruz CA.
I'm a long-term subscriber, who really admires your fine playing in a variety of stylistic settings. My focus for the last few decades has been jazz -- as a player, particularly chord melody on acoustic archtop -- but I come from a rock background and also love western swing and country guitar. You have extremely impressive facility in this faux steel sound that I love, and I have only great praise for your premier teaching video. Your point about practicing toward a very clear concept of the sound you want resonates with me -- I have a short pep talk for myself, "Play it how you want to hear it!" Congratulations on a first-rate start and best wishes for continued success. -- Elizabeth
Wow Elizabeth!.. what an amazing comment!.. thank you so much! I remember you very well from my earliest days on TH-cam and I often see you appearing in the comment sections of videos I enjoy.. always sharing some fantastic insight! If I see you in the comments I know for sure it’s going to be a video I’ll enjoy!.. we have such similar tastes! I really appreciate your feedback and your kind words, honestly they mean a lot to me. Thanks so much for the support Elizabeth 🙏🏻
Wow…this is a huge step forward and commitment Alex. Your clear demo and explanation of the bending techniques using triads is brilliant. I think you’ll get a big following. Keep it up!
Thank you so much Dylan! 🙏🏻 Yes will certainly be doing more in the (very near) future! I’ll probably alternate between country and jazz a little bit ✌🏻
Loved this lesson: not too much but just enough to go back and watch it again. Makes sense to hang these bends on the triads, sort of a system to get started. Looking forward to checking out rest of your stuff!
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Do check out my other lessons, hopefully there’ll be something of use in those too 🙏🏻
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it. It’s the old fishing rod vs fish thing isn’t it?.. understanding the underlying concept and roadmap is the way to make this truly become knowledge as opposed to just borrowing ideas temporarily 👌🏻
Hey Alex, I really like your playing and I absolutely love that you take up jazz and country. Over here in Denmark I feel that a lot of guitar players only care for one genre f.ex jazz. If you go back to melting pot of American music in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s you’ll notice how closely related theese genres are. Western Swing of course being a great example of this. Thanks for the inspiration mate🎶🎶🤙
Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes you’re exactly right!.. back in the day it was all just good music!.. genres were invented by the marketing guys in suits and I find it very sad that some people like to live their musical lives within those arbitrary boundaries! Thanks for stopping by my Danish friend!
Wow!! That was almost too much great info all at once, lol. Great job!! I will be watching this vid many more times. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights. I got some practicing to do!!
Glad it was helpful buddy! Triads are for sure one of those things we can all continue working on for eternity! These examples of just a small handful of the potential those things hold 👌🏻 Thanks for the comment 🙏🏻
I've been playing RnR all my life (I'm 72), but I'm now playing a lot of country stuff with some OLD friends and this is just brilliant. Thanks again!!@@AlexFarranGuitar
Loved this lesson. Had been gradually getting into nailing down triads but it all seemed a little robotic and uninteresting, like just going through the motions but this gives each little shape a bit more depth with finding the notes to bend into the triad. Now looking forward to getting back into them and having a bit of fun learning more about the nice stuff that lies around the edges of the triads (also I like the way you describe them as a must-have/“five-a-day” component of practice - nice way to highlight their importance). Subscribed.
Thank you Cathal, that is so good to hear. Incredible feedback and so happy that the video helped shed some light on things. I really appreciate your comments, thank you. 🙏🏻❤️
Really nice to watch and listen to Alex, I agree with previous comment, just keep your low key clarity as it is and let your smooth playing do the talking. I also like how you don't labor the point, alot of u tube stuff breaks things down so slowly spelling everything out. A good lesson inspires the viewer to grab the idea and nut the rest out themselves. good stuff.
Thank you so much Adam, I really do appreciate the feedback. It’s hard to strike the right balance on TH-cam but I’m starting to get a feel for what my particular audience favours in regards pacing etc. thanks again my friend, 🙏🏻
thanks Alex, the right balance is an elusive quest, especially on U tube where the tail wags the dog. Do what comes naturally, aim for the Pros and intermediate guitarists, the ones that aren't far off gigging but haven't got the time luxury or the band network yet. No one has time to jam these days, its "send a file and let me listen to it". Anyway, love it.

How about a nice Alexized version of “Last Date,” with explanation. Great stuff, thanks.
Totally agree!!
Agreed! In addition to absolutely beautiful and haunting guitar playing, this video is one of the best instructional videos I've seen. Been woodshedding with it for days and shared it with a few friends.
Seriously nice volume swells there. And someone mentioning Roy Buchanan always warms my heart.

I have to say, this lesson would be great for pedal steel players as well.

I understand and am thrilled with the discussion of intervals & target tones within the triads.
That’s awesome! Nice to be able to have a legitimate musical dialogue ☺️
One of the best guitar instructional videos I have found on TH-cam. Excellent.
Thank you so much Kirk! 🙏🏻
There are lots of guitar "bending" videos on YT, but this one really teaches your how to do it. Nice work! And thank you!
Ah thanks mate, I really appreciate the comment 🙏🏻

Country boy here who thought he had all the bends down. WRONG. Love this, man. Outstanding!
ah thanks dude! much appreciated :) 🙏🏻
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for
Really glad you found it useful buddy 🙏🏻
Remarkable. Thank you. You're a great teacher. Jaw dropping digital dexterity! Simply swell, as it were.
Ah thank you so much Mike, that really means a lot! Glad to have you here with us! 🙏🏻🧡
That is unreal. Got Bryan Sutton for bluegrass. Sign up tomorrow on Patreon with you for electric. Great stuff. You are some player and teacher.
Thank you Ian, that’s so nice to hear! Glad you enjoy me lessons buddy 🙏🏻🧡
All the cats come runnin when Alex starts to bend
Haha, perfect t-shirt slogan! ;)
Excellent, excellent lesson. Superb playing to boot. And I love the cat popping up at the end as if to say, "This video has my approval."
Thanks so much my friend! And Louis the cat says thanks too! 😉🙏🏻
Man, thank you for this. I've been writing a song in C and finding your video was exactly what I needed to help. Great stuff.
I’m so glad it helped Jack! Thanks for the comment 🙏🏻
11 gauge strings are really difficult for this style. Definitely gotta lower them to 9 Or 10's.
10-46 is my preference ;)
@@AlexFarranGuitar quick question, what tuning do you use for your lovely tele? I love it ❤
This cracked the code on steel bends for me.
Lot’s of stuff to digest 👍🏻
That’s amazing to hear!.. thank you for the feedback my friend 🙏🏻❤️
The whole time watching I'm thinking to myself how much I dig your tone, then you mentioned the decibelics klon and it all made sense! I've got one in purple that I run through a 1965 vibrolux and its a damn hard sound to beat. Excellent video 10/10 no notes
Amazing! Glad to meet another Decibelics fan! It’s by far the best Klon(e) I’ve ever tried. Doesn’t completely attenuate the top and like most do! 👌🏻
This is the best steel bends video I’ve ever seen. The C shape, G7 - 5th to 6th bend is sooo tasty.
Thanks man, really glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
I'm going to be spending a lot of time on this installment of Alex Farran.
That’s so good to hear! Glad you enjoyed it buddy 🙏🏻

love those G7 bending ideas.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏻
Hi Alex . All your lessons are excellent. You are a master of an amazing number of styles . Thank you .
Thank you so much my friend, I really appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻🧡
Man you are so generous and honest..
This is has to be one of the best lessons on this subject..
Congratulations..
Please don’t change a lick !
Subed indeed..🎉
Alex, this is an excellent instructional video. I agree; don't change anything. Please post more lessons. Love what you did on Honeysuckle Rose.

Outstanding video. Your a natural teacher. Best country bend lesson ive seen.
Wow, thanks so much!.. that honestly means the world to me. I plan to do more country lessons very soon 🙏🏻
Fantastic playing my friend, being able to make a guitar sound that much like a pedal steel is phenomenal especially without those B- Bender gadgets.
Thanks a lot mate, that's very kind of you to say! And thanks for stopping by :)

Because the theory is invaluable
