I like Forrest Lee's DVD too however it's not a traditional "licks" video with tab. It's more a compilation of ideas that will require you to figure out the exact notes. Probably recommended for intermediate to advanced country players. Think of it like a clinic or sitting down for a session with a badass guitar playing friend and going through a ton and a half of cool bending ideas.

I'd say the Will Ray first, he gives alot of the basic stuff.
I have every b-bender instruction video ever put on the market.

Off the top of my head:
Will Ray
Forrest Lee Jr.
Doug Seven
Dan Schafer
Paul McEwen
Albert Lee (just parts of 2 videos are about b-bender)
I know I have a few more, can't think of them right now.

The Forrest Lee B Bender 101 DVD is not really helpfull to a beginner.
It so basic that I was disappointed, I found the licks on Youtube more helpfull.

I just watched the Forest Lee Jr video for the first time last night. I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. I'm a decent Tele player but definitely a BEGINNER Bender. In my opinion the Will Ray DVD is much more useful. Hands down. I thought the Forest Lee Jr. one had excellent tips and advice especially regarding who's who in the history of the B-Bender but as far as getting down to business...for me...the Will Ray is by far more useful.

Think of it as a single-string vibrato. It lets you bend the b string (and / or the g string) without changing the other strings. They are operated by palm levers or by a lever that attaches to the strap buttons. It makes a pedal steel kind of sound.
