Bend Exercises

The idea here is to practise bending a note at the 5th fret so that the final pitch of the bent note matches the pitch of a note fretted at the 7th fret. In other words, you want to bend the note by exactly two semitones (half-steps).Play the tablature example below - you alternate playing fretted notes at the 5th and 7th frets with a note fretted at the 5th and then bent up two semitones. Try to get the pitch of the bent note to be the same as the pitch of the note fretted at the 7th fret. Play the notes slowly.NB: b = bend, r = release bend E---5---7---5b7---5---7---5b7---------- B-------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------- A--------------------------------------...

Pull offs.

A Pull off is the Opposite of Hammer on. For example:  To Pull off Put your 1st Finger (Index, Pointer) on 5th fret of the 3rd string, and your Ring finger (3rd finger) on the 7th fret on the same string. Now pluck the string to hear the note of 7th fret, when 7th fret note is ringing remove your ring finger away from the fret in sideways motion. You will hear the pull off sound. During this process put the downwards pressure on both fingers then remove your third finger. Practise to master this techniqu...

Sliding

SLIDINGSliding is a technique which one note is picked, and then your finger slides to another note(s), without additional picking. This is a very simple exercise.  Usually you will see the tab symbols "/"  for a slide up and " \"  for a slide down. Although I have seen tab where just "/" is used, regardless of whether the slide is up or down. Sometimes you might see an "s" for slide, but we will not be using an "s" for this lesson. Slide UpOn the A string, fret the 5th note and pick it, then without removing your finger, slide from the 5th fret, 'up' to the 7th fret. Do not pick the 7th fret. E||---------------||B||---------------||G||---------------||D||---------------||A||--5/--7--------||E||---------------||Remember:...
