Pull -vs- Push Bends For Blues Guitar


  • Description (click to expand)
    Jul 30th, 2021

    Occasionally someone will ask me whether they should push or pull their bends on the G-string because they saw SRV doing pull bends. In this video I'll explain how a pull bend works, why it might sound different, and why it might be worth practicing to save some wear on your fingertips.
