i have a question for all you guys. I've been for a little over a year. On some tabs, there are B's in between numbers. An example, and I don't know that this would be right, but here is is 6B7. I'm not sure how you would perform this act, but if you could assisit me that would be great.

It would refer to bending the note on the 6th fret up 1/2 step.
Sometimes you'll see 10br which translates to bend and release the note.

Here's a good exercise you can do for bending to the correct note. Play the note on the 7th fret a couple of times until it is set in your mind, then play the note on the 6th string and bend it until you reach the same pitch, until it sound like you are playing the 7th fret.


The exercise would look like this

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
----7----6b7----7----6b7----7----6b7
--------------------------------------

Hope this helps you out.

To get bending down use your tuner to bend to pitch then release back to original note
