OBLIQUE WORKOUT, PART 2
Last month, we began exploring a great lead-playing technique known as the oblique bend, which pairs a bend with an unbent note on a different string, with the two notes played either together or in succession. Oftentimes, the technique is used on two adjacent unwound strings, namely the high E and B, or the B and G, typically to perform what’s called a unison bend, for which the lower note is bent up to match the pitch of the higher note. But an oblique bend may also be performed with different pitches and on non-adjacent strings, which can yield endlessly interesting results.
