No I’m not starting out….well I’ve been playing from 2-4 hours almost everyday and I think that I’m a fair guitarist with the time considered. The thing is that I almost never bend fullnotes when I play. Only halfnotes with pinch harmonics sometimes. I’ve mainly trouble with bending the high E string. Ok.. sure I can bend fullnotes on it (I do use more then one finger sometimes ), I was exaggerating in my last post, but I surely can’t do it in a fast pace.. I goes very slowly. Before I wrote my last post I was trying to learn the solo part in Pantera – a new level, and I came to realize that there is a serious lack of technique in my bending. I’ve heard that stevie vai can do very big bends does he use any technique in particular ? Well... It’s probably just a practice thing as you said but anyways. And sorry about the launguage I’m from sweden.
