Is there any magic movement with the finger bending the string, bcs if i don't mute my 1/2 or full bend after release, it seems its not very different than the bending and release of my score ..... god im lost :eek: :cool:
If there is no release on the bend, then you will have to mute the bent note. Let it ring for as long as you want, and then use your palm to mute it. You can also do this with the fretboard hand, but which finger you use depends on which string you are bending. On the 2nd string I would use the pinky on the fretboard hand to mute the string. This takes a lot more practice, than palm muting.
JeffS65 posted a link to a string bending tutorial that I posted a while back. It will show you what you need to know about palm muting, useful tips on string bending, and 16 bending positions. You may know these positions already, but you would learn some other stuff.
I would join as a Full Access member and do this series of tutorials from the link below. It's very simple, clear and the instructor does not make you fight to see what he's playing:

I really appreciate what you said about my lessons, it's nice to hear things like that.
I have to get ready for the gig tonight, but I'll be back on the boards tomorrow.
