I put up a video lesson on playing Hendrix style bends. Check it out and let me know what you think!

 

Jimi Hendrix style lick

 

I think he usually did the bend with his ring finger on the bottom two strings, but I find it a little easier for me to do it the way I describe in the video.

Thanks for sharing this tip. I hope you post more links to lessons in the future.

 

I've not picked up a guitar for several years and I was playing mostly bluegress music. I have forgotten so much stuff it's unbelieveable but I'm I can get back in the saddle so to speak once again. I don't know why I lost interest in playing my guitar, but I'm kicking myself in the ass over it now.

 

Thank you!!!

Sweet. Reminds me of a passage from Roy Buchanan's "the messiah will come again".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trick to playing the third "note" in this measure
properly is to strike the string at the 10th fret, bend up
to the 12th, hold and fret the 11th, then return to the 10th
fret while evenly releasing the bend. It is tricky, but can
be done with practice. The "S" business simply means to
slide evenly down to the 4th fret.

(1:29 - 2:04)
