There are loads of bends used in the blues! Curls, double, minor third, microtonal to name just a few! getting a handle on these will really help you develop your voice on the instrument. In this lesson I'll take through some practical example of blues string bending.

Great lesson, thanks! Do you have your tremolo bridge fully decked or is it floating?

[@crossroadbluessecrets]

Thanks so much, it's floating 👍

@@crossroadbluessecrets How do you work with typical floating bridge "issue" - that after heavy bends the bent string comes back slightly flat and you need to press the trem arm to set it back? (There was Darrell Braun video on that named "Fatal FLAW of Floating Trems"). I noticed you didn't have an arm installed this time!

@@OleksiiKryvoshei It's funny I don't have that issue on this guitar but when I re-string I always use that big bends nut source on the tree and the nut, that's great for the tuning. I've just recorded this where I go a little more crazy with the bar and didn't tune th-cam.com/video/x6blIo9THA0/w-d-xo.html
