Andy Timmons Reveals Unique String-Bending Techniques for Melodic Guitar 🎸

MELODIC MUSE by Andy Timmons
THE BENDS, PART 3

We've been discussing string bending techniques and the many different melodies, sounds and emotive qualities available to guitarists via different ways to bend and shake the strings. Our previous examples have been in the key of C# minor, and this month’s musical example will be played over a 24-bar minor blues form in that key. Andy Timmons' goal here is to present some beautiful and musical lines that are performed with a variety of bending techniques, which he hopes will ultimately inspire you to do the same in your own improvisations.
