A bending is a playing technique that shifts a note by pulling the string up.
Both bending and choking mean the same technique and such technique is a special one for stringed instruments.
Thus, you need to get familiar with it.
When doing the bending, be careful to play the correct key.
Do not pull the string only with the finger and keep your form fixed so that you can pull the string up using your entire wrist.
Keep your practice so that you can do the bending with all four fingers.
Description of the bending
It can describe various key of whole tones and half tones just like a score.
In particular, 1/4 bending can give a special effect as it is a key between half tones.
Double stop
Double stop, double bending and double choking mean the same technique and refer to the technique of playing two notes simultaneously with bending.
You can do it with two fingers but it is usual to do the bending at once in a barre form.
Unison bending
A unison bending refers to a technique of playing two strings just like double stop but at this time doing the bending for only one string.
Unison bending is usually done on the first and the second strings or on the third and the fourth strings and the bended note goes up to the pitch of a fixed note.
A discord created during the bending sounds attractive.
Types of the bending
Various bending techniques other than pitch-shifting are described as above.
The following video shows the above technique in order.
Vibrato
Vibrato is a technique to make a sound pulsated.
It makes the sound pulsated by narrowing the range of the bending.
Description of vibrato
Vibrato is described as a wave sign and a wider range of vibrato is described as a saw wave.
Bending and vibrato are not usually used in stroke or an arpeggio but they are major technique in playing melodies, blues, jazz, finger styles and electric guitar.
We may go further for them in later lessons or lessons for electric guitar.
