David's Tip of the Day: Volume for Bends

Building on our conversation from yesterday... listening to your recording you probably also noticed your bends were louder in volume than your non-bent notes. Players still developing their bending skills tend to perform their bends with more volume, thinking that this will help them to achieve a deeper bend. Knowing that this is not the case, make a point to perform your bends at a softer volume in order to help them to balance with your other notes. Again, record and adjust... recording is the key.
