Which fingers do u use to do bendin'?

[Stillborn]

usually... ring?

 

[Mobius]

Ring or Middle

 

[schred]

Pinky :smt118

 

[pooo]

Most commonly ring. Sometimes even with the index(downwards) and middle.

 

[dark_knight]

usually middle...ring and index can as well..but not as strong as middle..maybe cus i used it too often :twisted:

 

[neuro182]

Hee

As for me, fourth & pinkie

 

[mero]

ring for bending, middle for support, index to mute other strings

 

[bam]

Same here.. ring to bend, middle supporting..

 

[BlackMoo]

Erm, all my fingers together?

 

[mi2tom]

ring will be easier but do not limit yourself only to the ring try the others and see

 

[superak]

all fingers. hahaha..

but love to use the pinky sometimes.. but usually is the ring with index holding like a barre chord.

but using index to bend 2 frets or 2 half frets... woohooooo you feel the paaaaainnnn.. which is good.

Guys, try bending with your fingers (not your finger tips) for double stops..

dunnoe how to explain it, like erm.. use the underside of your ring fingers, grab the guitars and bend 2 or 2 half frets... the feeling is lovely.. I mean PAIN Lar.. hahah

 

[tany]

ring mostly, so that pinkie can use for other notes 8)

 

[The-Warlord]

I usually bend with my ring finger, with my middle and index supporting for more control on bend and, sy, vibrato.

 

[echoist]

usually my middle and ring together, more control. but sometimes the index joined in for more than a whole tone bend.

 

[audio]

u can bend with any finger actualli

 

[spitfire_121]

any finger oso can. but usually its the ring and middle finger coz theyre the strongest.

 

[Rollercoaster]

I bend with my middle and ring finger. It helps when you're bending with both fingers, it makes bending easier.

 

[haziq]

sometimes i bend with three fingers...then i can bend and release and then bend again and release again fast...

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

Erm, all my fingers together?

yeah depends on the adjecent notes of the bending note... if its convenient, i'd use all of my fingers infront of the 1 i am bedning

eg if i use ring, i'd support it with my middle and index, if its middle i'd use my index to support...

if u do this, u'd be able to bend strings easier... esp light guage ones which is heavier then the extra light i am using now...

i guess i'm used to this cuz i always bend on my acoustic and its teribly tiring if i only use 1 finger...

but if its not convient, or if i only wanna bend half step, i'd use only 1 finger...

my teacher say use all three to bend.

he said vibrato can any finger though. except pinky.
