I don't have a B-bender on my guitars

 

do you guys know any licks that are pseudo B Bending licks?

 

I tried to find youtube videos on them but can't find much

 

I know Albert lee does B bending licks without a B-Bender but i can't find any video's on youtube of him doing it

Arlen Roth is the guy you want to search....his books cover it extensively.

 

This will get you started http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/melody/73/tab.html -- there are a bunch of examples of B-bender stuff in there (search |b-bender| on the browser page) -- start with his layout of surfer girl and go from there. Check out the G bender stuff too.

 

Arlen plays them on more than just the B and G strings and you can also figure them out rather easily by dropping the third (or inverted 6th) of the chord down 2 frets and bending it up into tune -- works best on invertions.
