Hello Mr. Fujita,

I am doing the bending technique with C Major and E major scale (2nd string).

I close my eyes to hear the sound first and then I check my tuner to see if I hit the note correctly. Do you think adding this tuner to check result is good idea?

Great question! I used to do that a little but you use your eyes to check things so I found it's too much! Best to do is bend note a few times slowly and check with a real note / pitch by ears.

The tuner would be a bit much. I tune in P4s, so I don't bend quite as much as one might think. But I use a method I learned in school where, if i am working whole step bends, I just fret the note a whole step up(reference note), then bend the note a whole step down to the reference pitch. A good exercise is to play a scale on one string and you can work w H bends. I tend to use a lot of slurs, I like them better then bends. I can try to post a video as an example.

Sorry Tomo, I felt like I was answering a question for him and an example of me using them would be helpful.
