String bending problem 2: String Bends Not Ringing Clearly

A common string bending problem this one! Make sure to pin the string firmly into the guitar neck. Press it into the neck even as you bend. This will help you get big and clear bending sounds into your solos and licks.

Instead of only bending strings with your 3rd finger, simply practice some of your favourite string bends and licks using your other fingers.
