What's this technique called?

B:-7

G:-9^

Play it with some distortion. Hear that? I'm trying to find out what technique causes that, and what it's called.

It sounds really cool for leads.

I believe it's called a Unison Bend.
Like, when you tune your guitar going like

0
5

That's a unison I think. When two notes sound the same, so a Unison bend would be bending it so the G sounds like the B

What is the arrow after the g note? If it's a bend...

Your bending into an octave, not sure if it has a real name, but it's used allot in blues... I do it more like

E: 12

B: 15^

but it can be used anywhere, just bend up to the octave.

i call it bendy thingy =D

Yeah, it's a bend.

Yeah, I just found it on youtube by searching for it.

I know that that was used in the intro to Run To The Hills and at the beginning of the second solo in Number of The Beast, my problem is the bends from Ace of Spades like how the fuck do you bend 2 strings on the same fret but have one bend go like an extra note more than the other

Become God?

when i bend 2 strings on the same fret i put my pointing finger on the lower string, and my middle finger on the higher... i rarely do that tho =p

k heres what it is,

first southern bands like skynyrd use this a lot, it gives a twang, but not too much of one with distortion, see gimme three steps. in tht they are odviously using some pentatonic on the 7th fret.

the 9 bend is the same as the 7 on the b, see one by metallica, just b4 the end of the solo. a lot of times u see bands do what skynyrd does

b--10
g--9b

this is using the pentatonic. bending the 9 is the 11, in the box shape. the 10 is also in the box. since the 9 also is 7 on the b, its part of the main pentatonic also, hope u can undertstnad this.

good call BBT but I use like 11 or 12 gauge strings so I think I'm gonna pick up some 9's for my least used guitar before I try that

Lol bending three strings at once sounds cool xD

it's hardcore man don't try it

I do it all the time, it's easy

3 at once damn man thats intense but not as intense as having a bat fly within a foot of your face

a baseball bat or a bat animal? my friend got hit in the cheek with a bat....twice. one time the biggest and strongest and best player on our teem with those weights on his bat was swinging and hit the kid, then again got hit b/c som 1 accidently chucked it at him, he had the bruise for a long long time

i am a bat >=)

lol im very tired =p

Talk about random posts, aha.

Pusher it actually is not that hard, just use yer first three fingers. I lay them all across the three strings (flatly) and just push them. It is sorta hard to describe the position of the fingers. But yeah.

I always thought it was called a tension bend :S

wow this is from the golden age

Golden age my ass. :P
@GuitarBoy: You're bending strings on the same fret like that, right?

Someone must have used a defibrillator on this post to bring it back. I think he is talking about arranging your fingers like you are playing a 'standard' A chord, but somewhere else on the fretboard and bending three at once like that. Thats how I picture it anyway.

Skold, Guitarboy, The Pusher and Veqq arent even here anymore
