New B-Bender

Hey:

I am new to this forum and to B-Benders. I just purchased a Fender Nashville B-Bender (Parsons/Green). I play slide and lap steel and both techniques utilize the B-string for sliding up to pitch, so I am familiar with the 'B-Bend' in that way. I find the strap lock method of this guitar very intuitive; however, you have to relax when playing so as not to engage the bender accidently. I have figured out some cool stuff already but I am curious and would appreciate some suggestions on what video(s) to purchase to help me learn more of the licks. I see Will Ray's B-Bender Mania and am curious about that, but I don't really need the G-Bender part of that (yes, he is a monster player). I decided I agree with Clarence White that a straight B-Bender offers the most musical choices, so I am interested in focusing on just B-Bender licks. Any responses would be welcome. Thanks.

I just received an email from Doug Seven. He has a new dvd out on b-benders. He sent me a clip of the dvd to watch and it was really nice.

I might just get a bender installed in my guitar.

I got the same email. Looks pretty cool. Doug's stuff is usually pretty decent.

Will Ray's B-bender Mania, doesn't have any G bender licks in it.
Dan Schaffer has videos you can find on E-bay, Doug Sevens just got a B-bender video out. Forrest Lee Jr. has a B-bender vid also. Paul McEwen also has bender video.

Thanks everyone. Most appreciated. I recognize all those names so I'll check some of them out.

I'm almost right down the street. Drop me an email at rptowne@yahoo.com.
