🎸 Technique Tuesdays 🎸
Following on from last week’s video demonstrating the minor pentatonic scale, this week we’re focusing on string bends and vibratos. These techniques are used frequently within the rock and blues genres, and can also be combined.
I am using the E minor pentatonic scale in this video, but this time I’m adding vibratos and string bends to add textures and personality, as well as bending the pitch to a higher note on the G, B and high E strings. In this video I am using a combination of ‘half step’ string bends and ‘whole step’ string bends (semitones and whole tones) alongside vibratos. These techniques go hand in hand when learning how to ad lib around the pentatonic scale.
The backing track is made by myself and is available for all my students who are wanting to expand their improvisation competency.
