Learn and Practice 8 Blues Bending Techniques with Interactive Practice Sessions
String Bending is one of the most expressive and essential highly personal techniques for guitarists. Kid Andersen's Blues Bending edition of Practice Sessions focuses on 8 key bending techniques: shake bends, super wide bends, double stop bends, Faux horn section bends, slippery bends, Steel guitar double stop bends, and Kid's own signature "slide without a slide” bends.
"In this hands-on course, we'll dig deep into string bending technique by working on 8 key approaches that I personally use in my blues solos every day in the studio and on the stage.
What makes this format really special is how you'll get these approaches firmly under your fingers -- we'll practice each of these 8 bending techniques together in an interactive practice session.
I'll kick off each study with an analysis of the technique and then I'll perform an example lick over a backing track to give you a feel for how it sits in a groove.
We'll start out by bending and shaking a note into the root - the cornerstone of any explosive blues solo. Next, we'll work on super wide bends a la Buddy Guy. Then, we'll look at Chuck Berry style double stop bends.
We'll dig into Faux horn section bends and slippery bends of guys like Jimi Hendrix. There's rapid fire, multi-finger bends, steel guitar-esque double stop bends, and finally my own patented "slide without a slide” type bends."
You'll cap off each bending study together with a hands-on practice session. Kid will roll the track and you'll trade back and forth as Kid guides you through the core bending examples followed by several variations and embellishments.
Working regularly with these "interactive practice sessions” is the key to having command of all 8 bending techniques.
You'll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you'll be able to use TrueFire's learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
Grab your guitar and let's dig in with Kid Anderson!
