Country b-bender licks can be done without the b-bender,
if you want to be a hellecaster .(just kidding)
Will ray was in the booth out at the namm show in (cal)
this month demoing the hipshot setup he uses.
I,ve used the hipshot setup since the 80s and it dosn't
deface your guitar like the parson-white b-bender set-up
since the useing the b-bender i've learned lots of
b-bender licks that can be done by just useing bends
with your fingers.
these licks can be used in all styles of music.
chord bends ect.

Also james hatfield use's a b-bender setup on his tele.
Sounds great Limacefolle that your working on country,
bending because alot of these bends can be added,
to your style.Expermenting with these bends by trying,
them in other styles is a great way to come up with,
alot of new affects for all music.
Another affect that you can use from country is,
try useing (the chicken picking style in your blues.
