Timing for Bends - Part 2 (Adjusting)

Most likely you noticed a slight hesitation for the start of your bent notes when listening to your recording, causing you to play the bends slightly out of time... late. Now practice the scale and play your bends a split second early, counteracting the time it takes to set up for the bending process. The better you get, the less of an adjustment is needed, but this will help your playing to stay in time. Record yourself and listen to how much of an adjustment is needed. Recording is the key.
