Why It Matters
String tension feels significantly different in the high register compared to the middle of the neck. Practicing bends at the 15th fret and above builds the mechanical strength and fine motor skills necessary for soaring, pitch-perfect solos.
How to Practice
- 1Brace your bending finger with your middle and index fingers for maximum leverage.
- 2Push the string upward, keeping your knuckles curved to prevent the string from slipping.
Tips & Techniques
- •Be mindful of the narrow fret spacing in this register; keep your fingers tightly grouped.
- •Ensure your picking hand mutes the lower strings to prevent high-gain feedback.
