When it comes to wild string bends, driven by raw emotion – there are few hands that can wring all the juice out of a guitar string like Gary Moore. What a legend
Respected by bluesman, shredders and non-musicians alike, Gary's ability to weave melodic passion using the most expressive guitar techniques is worth studying. As with the Becker and Sykes sequences that I'm throwing your way, this exercise is another step further in dominating the hell out of your fretboard
If you go through these musical sequences and actually practice them then your fingers will feel like they've been upgraded. It's like Bruce Banner turning into The Incredible Hulk. Just without the green skin...
Being able to play with tastefulness and feel is something all guitarists of any age can learn - whether you're 21 or 71
You don't need to have lightning fast fingers. You just need to be good at bending and vibrato - and that is WAY more attainable as a short term goal for any guitarist - including you
And, as I said, you don't need to be super fast to do it. You just need to be willing to weather sore fingertips for a few days. I'm 100% sure you can do that
Better bending and vibrato makes you sound like a pro guitarist, even with two to three notes - because the whole quality of sound is way better. You can get that power-up almost instantly by getting those two techniques under your control
Episode 34 of The Complete Guitarist drops on Tuesday, 28th October.
