I only use one finger to bend up as well cause I find I can get better control & vibrato.

I don't get this. Do you mean bending down, releasing, then pulling off or bending then pulling off? Hope you can help me Schmange.





As a reply for this post I just have to say that it just takes practice. I had the same problem and almost quite playing just because of it but over time I realized that it was gone and almost didn't notice it. Try and figure a way to mute strings that sound when you bend. When I bend up I mute the top couple strings with my fret hand. I don't really bend down but it seems like my fret hand mute the bottom strings.
