What are bends in guitar?
The guitar bend is a technique commonly performed on electric guitars, where the performer pushes a string out of its normal alignment. Bending the string tightens it, which produces the characteristic pitch fluctuation.
What is a ghost bend on guitar?
A guitar technique where a string is silently bent up in pitch before it is plucked, then the string plucked and the bend released to create a note that drops in pitch. This creates an effect similar to a dive bomb with a tremolo bar.
What is pre bend and release?
PRE-BEND & RELEASE: Bend the note up to the correct pitch then strike it, after sounding release the tension back to the normal position. This will make the pitch of the note drop. Listen to a pre-bend & release example.
What is it called when you bend a note on guitar?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. String bending is a guitar technique where fretted strings are displaced by application of a force by the fretting fingers in a direction perpendicular to their vibrating length. This has the net effect of increasing the pitch of a note(or notes as the case may be).
