If you pay close attention to Albert King's playing, you'll hear some bends that aren't easily replicated with standard 'Box 2' bending. That's because at times, he's bending 3 or 4 frets from a lower note, to the same target note. The result is a bend with more tension, and a noticeably lower starting point. In this lesson I show you how you can replicate this sound.
