Hi Arty,

String bending is so difficult to do.

First you need to focus this technique for a while.

Which string bending lesson did you watch so far?

Some guitar feel,,, more tension.
Make sure that your guitar neck is straight and enough string height.

I set up 2.00mm at 12th fret.
I use 10-46 on regular size guitar.

Thank you.

Hello Tomo!

Back when my technique was bad I used to think that bending was easy.
Ugh. That's completely wrong now. (haha)

(Okay,don't expect too fast)

I've watched 2022 bending video and Vibrato and Bending this evening. (after I made this thread)

I'm not sure with my set up too.

Thank you so much for the advice!!

Arty

Good bending technique is very hard!
But once you have this technique then you will have more fun!

Yes! Always don't expect too fast!
Thank you for watching that video.

Bending technique & proper guitar setup.
Thank you.

Tomo

For sure lighter strings will help. Maybe check out this video from Justin Guitar.

That was only for YouTube content... So I don't use 08-38 personally.

Thank you.

Hi Jeffrey,It's so rainy and cold today in Thailand.

Maybe I'll try 09-42.

Thank you for you reccommendation and opinion. :)

Arty

Good to know thanks Tomo

Thanks for sharing!
Proper setup is the key!

Thank you.

Tomo

Thank you for reccommendation.

I'm not sure with my set up too.

I used to bring my guitar to the local shop and it cost me around 17.81 usd!!
That was so expensive in Thailand so,maybe it's bad set up guitar now.

I'll watch and try it.
Thank you again!

Arty

Thanks for sharing.

Practice bending technique. Important part is not play any bluesy phrases.
Just focus on string bending technique.

Thank you.

Tomo

I've never saw this thread before.

I'm trying so hard to not get distracted by those nice sounding licks!

Thank you so much!

Arty

Great!
Stay focused on bending technique so no bluesy licks round it.

Thank you.

Tomo
