Help me with my b-bending

Hey!

Since this is the b-bender forum, I though I'd ask for some feedback for a song I just did where I used a bender for lots of little licks throughout. Am I on the right track with what I'm doing? Is there anything that I'm missing or being short sighted on? Sorry, but whenever I mention benders around my way, people just give me blank stares. Thanks!

I think it sounds great! The only thing I would add was to not stop playing regular backup rhythm in between your bending fills...in other words keep playing through the whole track...it will make it seem even more natural and seamless..

You have some nifty licks and combinations of licks...Im gonna save that track because odds are theres some stuff I havent figured out yet in there...

Brians right... if you do little sliding thirds-sixths, or walk ups or down with the chord changes between the stringbender licks it will really flow

Thanks guys!

It been so long since I've played music with anybody.....I'd completely forgotten about the fact that normally I'd be playing rhythm inbetween the licks. :oops:

Nice job! That is pure country. I'm going to do like Don and try to dissect your work.
