Hi tomo, I'm currently stranded in New Zealand with only an acoustic available with gauge 12 strings on it. I've just watched lesson 5 on bending. How would you suggest I practice if at all? Maybe if i only practice half tone bends on the higher strings or maybe if I skip this lesson until I get home and have my eletric available again? Or should I replace the bends with slides? Really enjoying the lessons so thanks alot.

Tune down a half or whole step and get that great Delta Blues sound out of your acoustic. Good luck and Happy Easter.
