Show Description:

In this lesson we will be looking at an essential technique for lead guitar playing, pre-bends. Using pre-bends is an important but often overlooked technique. Listen any of your favourite guitarists like Slash, Eric Johnson or Jimi Hendrix and you will find their playing is full of expressive pre-bend techniques, particularly in their solos. The sound of a pre-bend is completely different to the regular bend because the technique requires you to bend the string BEFORE you pick it.

This week we will be covering the following:

- Reading pre-bend diagrams to understand them in your sheet music, magazines etc.
- How to pre-bend
- Things to watch out for and other problems you may encounter the first time
- Examples using the first finger on different strings and frets
- Applying the examples to a real piece of music
- Applying the examples to a real piece of music with vibrato technique after the pre-bend
- How to download the files you need to play along (SEE THE LINK ABOVE!)

***IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER****

If there is a specific lesson you would like me to do to help you with something you are finding difficult on the guitar please leave me a message in the comments section and I will keep it mind for a future video. I can do tutorials on sweep picking, eight finger tapping etc, but I want this channel to be about helping beginner guitarists get started so keep that in mind before you post your suggestion! Thanks
