What's a compound bend?
# 1
dave gilmour did these a lot, i'm pretty sure this is correct: bend a string only about .5 or a whole step then release it very SLIGHTLY then bend again to a a higher step. it would be easier to show you than to tell you, but oh well, they're not that hard, just practice them.
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

A compound bend is a bended note which requires two or more notes to resolve. I'm not sure what this exactly means, I read it in a guitar magazine.
I would assume that these would qualify as compound bends, and they're very common blues licks:
I'm sure asking this under the theory question would result in a more informed response than mine, but I hope this helps.
