Hi again Gert! Don't worry, it's not a problem. We all have bad days when things don't work well. This is a hard lesson and it's normal to take you a lot of time. The bending technique is painful at the beginning. With time you will get used. But...even when you develop strong calluses, the fingers can hurt. Take a break for a few days to not hurt your fingers more. I am preparing a blues composition that has in it over 100 bends (I am not kidding). Maybe how my fingers look will make you feel better. Hope you will have some easy days at work. Have a great evening! Oooh my God Monica!! Indeed, I already feel much better now Lucky for you you already found your husband because these fingers will scare men away, hahahaha! Enjoy your weekend with some more bending?? Or you will allow your fingers some rest? Oooh, something else I think of now. I just want to share a few lessons here on GMC that caught my attention when I signed up some months ago. I have listed them in my bookmarks for future reference. So maybe you can keep them in mind if you think I'm ready for these lessons (or something similar to these lessons). AC/DC Malcolm Young lesson Easy AC/DC lesson The first one (Malcolm Young) is level 4 and I'm not ready for this one yet. The second one is level 2. I would love to be able to play Thunderstruck Next March, I plan a holiday and I of course I will take my acoustic travel guitar with me I want to practise this lesson during my holiday: Fingerstyle Blues lesson I want to learn fingerstyle. Maybe not a technique used much on electric guitar? But I love the sound on acoustic. Sometimes a song sounds better played with fingerstyle then with strumming. So now you're informed about my travel and additional guitar plans Have a great weekend! Gert |

Also, after 23 years, nothing can scare him anymore. No, I don't let my fingers rest. Believe me, they are still in good shape. You chose very cool lessons (I already noted them). Of course, the first one (Malcolm Young) needs to wait a little, but we can make the second one immediately after you finish the Chord Strumming lesson. It would be awesome mostly because it has those bends at the end and you already work on this technique. It's always a great idea to learn fingerstyle (BTW, very cool lesson). Actually, it's a technique also used on electric guitar. We have at GMC some electric fingerstyle lessons. Also, this technique will help you when you start learning the hybrid picking technique, which is a combination between pick and fingers. It's one of my favorite techniques. You have great plans for the next period. Awesome to hear that you take your acoustic travel guitar in holiday. In this way, you will keep your fingers in a good shape. Have a great weekend!

BTW, lubing the nut helps with fast detuning after bending (as it helps the string returning to the correct tension, not blocking on a nut).

Hi, Thanks for the intervention! But I have no idea what you are talking about here Can you explain me what you are trying to say? Thanks! Check part 5 here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/20-Beg...er-Tips/?part=5 Darius uses graphite to 'lube' the string slots. |
