Arlen Roth's Daily Lesson: Stringbending as Substitution

One of the coolest things about Arlen Roth's new daily lessons on Gibson.com is that each lesson will build upon the learning points of previous lessons. Today's lesson is a great example.

 

In one of last week's lessons, Roth demonstrated the use of hammer-ons and pull-offs, and how to incorporate them into various soul and R&B licks. In today's lesson Roth demonstrates how to substitute string bending for those same hammer-ons and pull-offs.

 

This is truly a priceless lesson, with Roth demonstrating the "correct" technique for stringbending, while noting the mistakes made by some of today's most prominent artists while using this same technique. Roth clearly shows the chord forms of each substitution, and identifies each position properly for your guidance.
