Try not to let your fingers go to that G string, because you might end up cutting yourself a little bit, or when you pick your fingers up off the fretboard you’re going to end up accidentally strumming it.īut that right there is called the Unison Bend. So you kind of have to use your ears as a guide, and if you’re inexperienced with bends you might have a little trouble, but it’s also a great introduction to playing bends. It’s just going to sound like it’s out of tune. You’ll want both notes, when you get that bend to the top you’ll want both notes to be playing at the same pitch. You’ll hear if you’re too short, it doesn’t sound right. The Unison Bend might be just what you’re looking for. So it’s a cool effect if you’re wanting to throw a lick in there or are playing a solo and you want to have some pizazz. So that’s just another way to expand upon the Unison Bend. We’re going to add some vibrato to that bend. Now for this second part, what we’re going to do is we’re going to do the same thing except we’re going to get that bend to the top. So what we’re going to do here, is we’re going to play in that Unison Bend I showed you and then we’re going to move everything up one fret and then we’re going to move it up again one fret and then we’re going to move it up again one fret. It’s a cool effect though because that bend, you hear that dissonance until you hit the top of the bend, so it’s kind of a cool effect. Unison, of course, is two notes at the same pitch. You strike both notes at the same time, and that’s this first part right here. ![]() So what we’re doing in effect is bending this note so both notes sound in unison. What happens is we bend that fifteenth fret up a full step so it sounds like the note on the seventeenth fret, which is the same note as the twelfth fret of the high E string. I’m using my second finger to kind of support the bend. ![]() We’re playing the twelfth fret, I’m using my first finger to play that twelfth fret, and I’m using my third finger to bend that fifteenth fret up a full step. Playing two notes for this particular spike. Here’s a fun little technique that you can play around with.
