Recently I've been trying Blue Monk Etudes. There's a bending technique in it, and as a beginner at electric guitar, I realized the need to practice.
I'm working hard on the basics while watching lesson videos.

Ear training is also important.
Have a nice weekend!

Thank you for sharing your bending video. This technique is very difficult. For practicing this.... I recomend to repeat same (one bend) 3-5 times and make sure you don't bend down after you bend a note up.

Good job! C Major Scale on 3 2 1 set string and E Major Scale on 2md string.
First do more bend up first. Bend down is really difficul (at first)

I wil make a demo video on this topic later.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you, Tomo-san!
Sometimes my fingertips scratch other strings and make noise.
It's very difficult to bend the strings and add vibrato.
I'll do my best!

H Tadashi,
It is difficult to bend. Difficult to do vibrato. Difficult to Bend AND do vibrato.
I am trying to NOT do vibrato- ever..for now.
Trying to remove my lifetime of bad vibrato habits and start over here slowly. Re-learing correctly.
You are really making huge progress Tadashi.
Stay the course!
Kurt
