Important stuff, I’d argue that these techniques are an essential part of what gives a guitarist their individual voice on the instrument. Great lesson, thanks for what you do.
Thanks for the deep dive into how to add vibrato to bends, Jordan. something I have been wanting to learn for quite some time now. Now that it is clearly done by wrist movement, not fingers, I have already gotten great results. Thanks again! Liked and subscribed.
That’s great to hear! Bends and vibrato are often overlooked and also very easy to do with improper technique making it even more challenging. I’m glad I could help!
Absolutely! It’s so important also not only does it set guitarists apart it’s one of the things that really sets each individual guitarist apart. There’s been many times I’ve been able to tell who a guitarist is just because of their bends and vibrato🤘
That was sweet dude, beautiful tone, looooovely.....subbed! I've just picked up my guitar again after years and I want to play some cool as solo's......maybe I came to the right place. I have a good sense of music but need more discipline with my picking, I can ad lib ok though....
As soon as any instructor points to bends/vibrato as carrying the most weight towards lead guitar playing, I know they are the real-deal, if I didn't already.
@JordanSteele I think that you get the most mileage and the biggest impact from acceling at vibrato/bends and the various types of bends. (Ghost bends, pre-bends, quarter step, blue note bends, half step, whole step, 1st to minor 3rd, ect.) If someone could only be great at just one element of playing lead guitar, I think this would be it. To the casual listener, I come across as a much better player than I actually am because I sort of gravitated towards honing this in my playing. Probably because, in 44 years, I've never been great at all the other stuff. Btw...You are an outstanding young musician/guitarist in all aspects of guitar and music. Keep up the great work. I think the return on your investment will end up to be much more than just rewarding.
I always felt that's what makes a guitar stand out above moset instruments. You can't bend a piano key and get that feel a guitar does. Guitar will always be on top! @@JordanSteele
Hi jordan im mahdi thank you for this video its helpful really ❤❤😊😊⭐⭐🎸I play guitar over 8 years now 😊😊❤🤘🤘🤟🤟🤘⭐🎸🎸I cant wait to come there in Nashville at bourbon street blues bar boogie im waiting for the visa to come there in Nashville 😊😊❤❤🎸🎸i cant wait im try to hold on till i come in Nashville my dream in this 2025 is to play guitar with artists in Nashville and be an artist of 80s synthwave music in Nashville with my guitar and meet a girl in Nashville with blonde hair its my dream and married her in the country its my dream when i was kid 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🤟🤟🤘⭐⭐❤❤😊😊🤟🤘🤘🤘⭐🎸
hard to follow a lesson from someone half my age, who sounds like he is repeating the days lesson from community college. if i close my eyes and listen i get nothing from this.
Jordan don’t apologize to trolls. The fact they brought age into their complaint definitely shows how jealous they are that you’re a better player than they are and just want to try to make you feel as bad as they do in their daily lives. 😂
I hope you enjoy todays lesson. For more lessons like this check out my patreon!

just wanna say the broken selector switch cover looks incredible on that guitar, never seen that before
😂 thanks!🤘
This has added to my playing. Pulling off when going from higher notes to lower notes has made my playing more fluid also.
That’s awesome Tim🤘
Brother, your technique and choice of notes is outstanding. Very enjoyable.
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed 🤘
Clearly presented and articulate.
Thank you!
Bending and vibrato is really our secret weapon.. its the one thing unique to guitar other instruments can't do.. great lesson dude 🤘

@JordanSteele So very true 🎯

Awesome dude! Thanks for stopping by. 🤘
Loved this and your guitar playing. Thanks.
Thank you!
Very nice video, thank you. 👍👏
Thanks!
My vibrato always tells the same story of a drunken sailor.
😂
Great guitar player with a Brutal Killer Tone!
Thanks dude!🤘

Absolutely! I don’t believe any other technique can bring out so much emotion and help tell a story better than good bends and vibrato

Something about that pickup selector is bothering me
I’m sorry
Play slo motion it will help me
You can slow it down by changing the playback speed on the video
2:32 unless you are BB King
BB King has ideal bending and vibrato technique. He always would bend and vibrato with his wrist not fingers

Hey Mahdi! Really glad you enjoyed the video! That’s awesome dude! I hope you get to go to Nashville soon! 🤘
@@JordanSteele thank you really 🤟🎸🎸🎸🤟❤️❤️❤️i cant wait
OK but you don't always bend a note to get to another note of the scale. There are lots of interesting notes between - say - C and C#.
Absolutely! But it’s better to practice to actual notes on the fretboard
i learned vibrato and bending from BB King
Absolutely! He’s the best!
