String bending is a popular technique used by guitarists when soloing, and it can add a lot of expression and emotion to your playing. It is often associated with pentatonic and blues scales, but it can also be used effectively when soloing with modes.
One of the most common ways to use string bending when soloing with modes is to bend a note up to the next scale degree. This creates a dissonant sound that can add tension and release to your solo.
Guitar bends when combined with modes can also be used to create interesting melodies and phrases. For instance, you can use string bending to create a "cry" or "sigh" effect, where you bend a note up and then release it, creating a descending or ascending melody.
In the video lesson "Cool and Easy Bends for MODES" you can learn an easy way to incorporate some of these techniques into your soloing in order to add more expression and emotion to your playing.
Remember: String bending on guitar is not just for pentatonic and blues scales, it's a versatile technique that can be applied to all scales and all types of music.
