Five steps to push the string up to a specific, in-tune note, by a half step and by a whole step.
Applied
A bend means pushing the string sideways to tighten it and raise its pitch without changing fret. The hard part isn't moving the string, it's landing exactly on the note you want. This demo starts by hearing the target note.
Step 1 of 5 · Hear the target
Before bending, play the note you want to reach: the 9th fret of the third string. Fix it in your ear. A bend is only as good as its final pitch.
