Bend Strings On Acoustic Guitar EASILY Without Breaking Strings

[@thetamage]

This was a great intro to get me over the fear of breaking a string and giving me some bluesey sounds coming from my fingertips. Nice lesson from a nice man.

Rock on!

Snap … no pun intended 😃

Thanks for the video!

Great lesson! I'm still stuck because of the fear of breaking a string...Bends are an issue...Thank you Tomas! 🎶🎶🎶

[@TomasMichaud]

You can do it!

Most Acoustic guitars are strung with 12's or 13's. I believe Earthwood 80/20's in 10's or 11's is best for string bending. Just a valuable tip for people learning

[@TomasMichaud]

Thanks David. That's very kind.

[@filippturbin5101]

Man, I haven't even thought of tuning the guitar a half step down until saw this video!!!! Thanks a lot bro! Gonna try "Wish you were here" again 😅

[@TomasMichaud]

Best of luck!

Hey Tomas, something I have problems with when bending is unwanted string noise. For example on the first Half bend 2nd string when I am releasing the bend the 3rd string will ring out. I think it might get hung up on my finger nail or my finger tip. Any advice, perhaps a video that might help with that?

[@anymation1943]

same problem with me

[@harshnarang8138]

Same here

[@truechamp3404]

Same

[@MrXyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Muting the unplayed strings is important in good guitar playing. I think a trick you can use here is to place the "supporting" middle finger a bit more towards the 3rd string than normal, so as the middle finger will end up muting the 3rd string.

[@roanfarley9919]

My maye ordered some strings from china. Multicoloured n replaced the nylon ones. Though my b is nylon. Just needs tuning more

[@TomasMichaud]

Cool!

Magic

Thanks Roan.

On my guitar the 12th fret is where the 14th fret is in this video so does that make it more difficult to bend ? Thanks

[@WorshipGuitarist4life17]

Can I use 9 gauge strings? Tuesday's gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd 4 fret g string there's a 3 fret bend

[@SlavJerry]

when I bend G string I have issue with breaking the string wound and create a small bump on the G string where I fret, is there a way to fix this?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MrXyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

I'm using 11 gauge strings. I experimented with 10's but found the 4-6th strings didn't sound so rounded, which for an acoustic guitar is important. The 11 gague strings are pretty difficult to bend, is it sensible to "mix and match" using a lighter gauge just for the lightest two strings? Or will this lead to other problems?

Daddario couted not long lasting string..low quality!
