How can I make my guitar bend easier?
Using your fingers instead of your wrist to bend: Your wrist has a lot more power than your fingers - to bend you should "lock" your fingers on the string, put your thumb over the neck (this will make it easier, but everybody should be able to do it without the thumb) and rotate your wrist.
How do you get good at bending on a guitar?
To practice bends as shown, use the same finger throughout- usually your 3rd finger. Play the note you want to bend followed by the note you want to bend to. Then play the original note again and bend it to the pitch of the second note. This will improve your intonation (get you in tune).
How do I stop my guitar from bending?
The best way to store your guitar to prevent warping or bending of the neck is to keep the guitar in a hardshell case lying flat on it's back with no pressure on the neck. Inside the case humidification may be indicated in dry conditions.
