Mike has been playing the guitar since he was 12 years old, and from that first moment his love affair with music and the instrument began. Fresh out of school at the age of 16 he attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford and completed a year-long Diploma course.
After finishing the ACM his life as a full time musician began, playing in numerous bands and touring up and down the country playing iconic venues such asThe Shepherds Bush Empire, The Astoria, The Underworld and London’s Jazz Café. He’s also been fortunate enough to support industry legends Paul Weller, Blondie and Katie Melua.
Mike’s session work has led to his working on a variety of projects - from performing with stars such as Ricky Wilson and Diana Vickers, to appearing in many TV shows and adverts. Mike loves being on stage performing, but is equally at home recording in a studio - where he has worked with Alex Von Soos (All Saints, Seal, Atomic Kitten), Mike Horner (The Prodigy, Shakira, Bloc Party), and Mike Chapman (Blondie, Suzi Quatro)

Apologies on the guitar audio. very annoyingly the audio file got compromised and I couldn't use it so in the video what you're hearing is from my monitor speakers. In the past I would off done the video again, but as this rant was from the heart, i couldn't possibly reproduce again! :)
Hi Mike, Terrific flanger sound. I like your Style and humour, but
IMO it’s just a simple sarcastic joke someone came up with. Non sense really, but funny if taken to the extreme by some “ALWAYS in minor Mode” guitar heroes on steroids.
OTOH you are doing very right supporting a position. I agree
Not all the Bends are Boomy, right, they are lovely. Specially 1/2 step or less, to me. , but I can think of some 80’s on styles…
I believe it originated from Tim Henson of Polyphia if I'm not mistaken. He meant no offense by it.. it's just a thing they call when you play pentatonic/blues scale then bend it if I recall correctly.. It got a lot of heat until he was interviewed by his good friend Rick Beato (who's a baby boomer btw)
But writing "would off" is some sort of "anti boomer"?
Good video, Mike. But as you've unloaded, I feel I must do the same. You would HAVE done the video again, not 'would of'/'would off' done it again. There, that's better. Thanks very much. Keep up the good work.
I'm a boomer. Boomer bends are the extra noise we make while bending because our bones ache with age.
Haha yes! the sound made when picking up our dropped picks.😂
The greatest boomer bender of all time, Jimi, was a relentless innovator who reimagined the possibilities of the guitar using new technologies like fuzz, octaver, wah, etc. If he were alive today, I think he would totally dig innovators like Polyphia. They are not playing 'like' Hendrix, but they are playing far more in the same spirit as Hendrix than people who do try to play like him 50 years later (I am 60 btw)

Man... that thing has rekindled my need for a BRG green Strat... beautiful guitar
Great to hear!
I'm fairly certain Tim meant the Chuck Berry / SRV style of bending that's been constantly recycled for half a century now.
He didn't say it was bad though.
If someone is putting any guitarist down because of your bends it's either because of bad bends, or they are are lowly cynics who catch on the latest lingo. Guthrie Govan does an incredible youtube lesson on the art of bending. I don't think anyone is going to openly criticize that guy. ...You hit the nail on the head. Why play electric guitar if you are not going to bend. It's like riding a mountain bike and not doing wheelies. Hell I've seen incredible classical guitarists who bend. It's called flavor. Music is sound. Sound is not rigid. I don't think Tim Henson meant it in a bad way but the insecure ones caught on this and made it a thing. When I was young, I played guitar. It was an action thing. Now I'm older and I play music. Same thing except for there are no boundaries.
There most definitely will be a concert for Paul because Dave grohl is his best friend and that's a guy that gets things done
I love boomer bends they sound so good
Thank you for this. This actually made me feel better about my love of “boomer bends”. So silly.
i like where you took the convo. yeah its going to be a term and young people will avoid it simply because theres a term that exist for it. not everything needs a damn label.
Agreed, its like they are cool and the past was stupid so they need to label bendings that way to insult everyone that uses them.
A bend is a bend, period.
What if people calls Tim Henson´s style ¨Too much of nothing¨?
?
Truth is he said 2 words and 90% of people didn't even need to research what the new term meant. It was literally no different to referring to classical music as such. I don't need to look up what years determine if music is classical. I don't need to Google what instruments are in classical music. I hear classical and automatically know what it refers to. It isn't dissing Mozart by adding a label that defines the damn music.
Tim Henson from Polyphia first said it on Rick Beato’s channel. He mentioned in one of the videos he was talking about an excessive, repetitive type of bend which made me think of 70’s classic rock bends more so than blues bends. Yeah I think the term took on a life of its own after the video and it’s kinda derogatory, but Tim mentioned he does bend too.
That Fiend!!!
Tim said something like "doing bends like Boomers" in a long video on Rick's channel, and Rick used the phrase "Boomer bends" in the next video, then people freaked, and Tim returned to Rick's show to say it was just how he thought about wide bends which he did learn but does not use in his music.
- I love watching Tim play, with the sound off. His fingering is incredible.
Lmao U2 told The Edge he wasn't allowed to bend notes 40 years ago so once again this ain't nothing new! Maybe The Edge will finally get the respect he deserves 😅😅😅
As people have correctly stated it comes from a Rick Beato video with Tim Henson. I think it has become a popular internet meme because of how ridiculous the statement is. The fact that it was written in large letters on the thumbnail of a Rick Beato video (a content creator who is often mocked on Reddit guitar forums) helped it gain traction. To be fair I'm confident Rick himself highlighted it because he thought it was an amusing off the cuff statement. I don't think Rick or Tim ever meant it to be taken seriously.
Why would people mock rick beato ? 😂 He’s a fountain of knowledge and an entertaining youtuber with great taste. You have got to be pretty damn good at guitar to be in a position to mock him
Reddit is filled with dipshits of course there are some elitists in guitar subreddit that think Rick is beneath them.
Mike, this video helped clear up exactly what a BB was! I'm 53, technically a Gen X I guess. Grew up loving the 50s, 60s and 70s stuff. If Chuck Berry is playing a Boomer Bend in the intro and throughout "Carol".... then I don't care what anyone calls it...it works!!!
Play what makes you happy. If it makes someone else happy when they hear it, bonus. If someone doesn't like it, who cares?
Ive asked so many people what the difference between a regular bend and a boomer bend is and they all struggle and have meltdowns.
Came from Rick Beato interviewing Tim Henson and he used it.
Being a boomer I presume I've always played them or failed to play them more accurately.
The thing is I'm a young guitarist. Beginner. Gen Z lol. and idc I love bends and think they sound cool. I'll be damned if anyone tells me what to play... on MY guitar. I understand where it's coming from and also your frustration but for me it's bends for life lol
Hell yeah, bends for life, I like that! Keep playing buddy!
I could not agree more. On another note, even without your usual audio production, your lead tone rocks!
Oh you sweetheart!
I think it’s purely the fact that this is associated with the classic blues rock players, as you mentioned at the start of the video
THE boomer bender is the great David Gilmour, which your demo sounds like
Tim Henson from Polyphia coined it during some discussion over at Rick Beato's channel. I don't think he meant it in a negative way, just something that doesn't fit his personal style and joked these bends were being 'boomer-ish'. He still deserves the walk of shame though lmfao.
It's not just about bending, but the style of music that involves unidimensional pentatonic licks that's been played over and over for more than half a century.
Just shut and play the f&cking guitar!
12 bar blues crust
by style of music,you mean the good kind I presume.
You mean like they've been playing classical music the same way over and over again for a couple of centuries and people still love to listen to it??
I'd like to know what a NON boomer-bend is! Show me your ways oh millennial axe heroes!
I’d almost say it’s more gen Z with that attitude
Thank you. That nails it for me. The arrogance and ignorance that goes into this term drives me crazy
The term Boomer Bend necessarily indicates that there is some type of alternative style of bending. I have no idea what that alternative would be.
It is clearly some kind of attempt at a derogatory blanket statement in regards to an age group and style of playing. It is one of many childish stances on the social divide . It has to be taken with the same validity as the source..... and holds no credibility at that level. Children are just that.....whatever their actual age might be. It's music for Cryin' out loud ! Grow up, shut up and just play.
I really don’t like the terminology Boomer bend either it just sounds wrong. It’s always great to see the bradcaster this guitar can do anything, and I was lucky enough to go to the concert for George.
Aww very jealous Michael. Also and I didn’t realise it until after, when I recorded this, it was the 20th anniversary of George’s passing.
I would add something else. Microtones. Take BB King, for example. He would sometimes bend notes to between, say, A and A#, which gives a microtonal note, breaking free of the standard western 12-tone setup. All in a blues pentatonic setting. He did it pretty often, too.
Fuck me! I thought they were double stop bends, a la country.
Totally with you Mike!! The worst thing an up and coming artist can do is criticise a technique that is used as a form of expression to play an instrument. Shows very little understanding both musically, historically and as a person. If players hadn't started bending the third string back in the 50's then Rock n Roll may not quite be what we think of it now, let alone all the guitar genres that have spun off it! I'm all for someone to having an original approach to playing an instrument, but to take the piss out of those that have come before to which you now are on the musical shoulders of, lacks serious maturity.
Amen buddy! And yes thanks to players like James Burton, who got their light gauge strings and starting bending, we are all where we are today.
It’s when you bend on GHS Boomers strings
Love this bloke.. this video is another example of why. Rock on Mike.
Aww thank you Henry.
I'm a singer, but not much of a guitar player. IM HO, guitar bends have been there since early blues players did them long time ago, they ain't going nowhere.
Electric guitar is boomer in general, if you think about it. It's not very popular in modern pop music. But acoustic guitar survives thanks to guys like Ed Sheeran.
I can't live without Boomer Bends!
That being said, it's entirely healthy for the new generation to reject convention - it's the only way innovation is born.
Also, so what? They'll never go away, and they'll always be at your finger tips and on your records, tapes, CDs, mp3s and streams. Relax!!
Well said
It sounds like something someone would say who doesn't know how to bend, to make them feel better about it
I’m a guitarist, not big in terminology, just play from the heart.
boomer bend blues crust. Good video!
That term can be traced back to a video on Rick Beato's channel. Maybe it was going around before among the millenial/gen z guitar players :D
Boomer bend > Millennial Whoop
FYI, saxophone, clarinet, harmonica can bend. A good example is the clarinet intro of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in blue.
P.S. David Gilmour is a boomer.
Hilarious, Mike. Really enjoyed your commentary on this. I for one will not be lumped in with your Clapton, Page, Richards, Beck and Hendrix. Scrubs. 😂
Millennial chord!!!🤣
Lolll
I love boomer bends they sound cool
Hope youre well mate! Its a great topic, misunderstood haha! Im a boomer ;) recovered from a rib injury, that should have been healed 1 month ago. and back playing some gui-tar..bend on folks! Cheers
Hope you're making a speedy recovery.
I've been wondering the same thing ...bend is a bend...ty
LOVE YOU MAN! I'm one of those Gen-X pick scrapers! Can't wait 'til NAMM when that GOT moment arrives! 😎🤘🎸🐦❤
Aww bless you buddy. Yeah would certainly be a sight!
Sounds like a term used by players who can’t bend.
Was the guy of poliphia. I believe rick beato and that guy had some chat and the guy talked about it
Ok had to leave a like for the playing in the beginning 😂🤘🏼
Aww thank you!
When you were searching for the next neoclassical name after Malmsteen I was thinking “Macalpine” and then you said it haha! Moore would have been my third association with that word too. (MacAlpine is touring UK in December btw.)
Super fun video. I really enjoyed. One thing, saxophones can bend notes. Obviously they don't sound as good as guitar bends though :)
I'm about to turn 70. That obviously classifies me as a Boomer. This is the first time I've heard this term. Hopefully the last, as well.
Awesome dude.. lov it..
Great video Mike! Hey random question, have you every hurt yourself or got a guitar related injury? Do u do any thing to avoid injury?
Good question, many years ago I had some tendon problems, but thankfully nothing for some time... touch wood.
I dont know man. I think we guitar players are overly sensitive sometimes. I dont think it was initially meant as a put down, but like all things its morphed into something else. if we're being honest, this is nothing new. Its this era's version of Be bop vs Swing jazz. Dizzy and Charlie Parker disregarded what came before them and peple like Louis Armstrong took it very personally. In a way I kind of like this discussion because it sort of makes us take a look at different muscial approaches. Guitar playing has gotten less creative over the years with every player trying theyre best to sound exactly like the heros they grew up idolizing. While it sounds good, its not exactly pushing the instrument forward. I personally am a self admitted bend - o- holic. Im nver not going to do it because some kid said its not cool. That said, Ive listened to what some of these new players have made and thought it was pretty cool. Made me rethink a few things. for instance, how can I make this tele sing and sound interesting without bending a single string? After about a week of no bending I found it opended up my playing a lot because I wasnt relying on old cliche's.. so when I reincorporated the bending, it sounded amazing
I agree completely. i made the same point about bebop on Beato’s channel - before that, every sax player was using a heavy vibrato on long held notes and lots of scoopy/bend like phrasing (like the clarinet sound in Rhapsody in Blue). The boomer bend is our equivalent of that vibrato and scoopy sax bend.
@@edwardjons8684 yep! Dylan was crucified for going electric. Miles Davis was crucified for going in a new youthful direction... we tend to personalize and get defensive when that which we think we've mastered is challenged by a younger generation when we should actually be the one's questioning ourselves and rather or not more can be done.
Some very good points here Bo, and yes lots of players all sound the same, originally is key. Take what your influences did, then make it your own.
@@MikeBradleyofficial exactly mike! However, incorporating old tricks with new ideas leads to pure awesomeness.. I'm a bender for life bro! 😁
Hi Mike. Merry Christmas and happy holidays! I agree the term is stupid. As others here have mentioned it started when Tim Henson from Polyphia used the term on Rick Beato’s channel. I love Polyphia, and Tim Henson’s playing, but the term is really nonsense.
It seemed to gain notoriety by Tim Henson from Polyphia during an interview with Rick Beato.
Boomer Bend is a TYPE of bend, not that all bends are somehow a Boomer thing... that's not what he was saying. A Boomer bend is a very old fashioned kind of bend you heard as far back as saying the invention of Rock n' Roll... take Johnny B Goode's intro... that has the boomer bend, you know what I am talking about. It's that type of bend... not all bends.
Ok
So what's the difference between regular bend and a boomer bend and why do people struggle on defining the differences?
I get that bends are out of style, but to call them "boomer bends" is pointless.
@@jkcrawl Bends are not out of style, Tim clarified this in an interview with Rick Beato. He's saying there was a type of bend that was fairly common in older rock music that is not used as much... he quickly characterized it as a boomer bend a point of reference, and not meant to deride all bending... people completely ran with it the wrong way
@@MedalionDS9 Okay, so what's the difference between a boomer bend and a regular bend?
This is a brilliant rant
Hahaha.. sometimes you just have to let it out!
@@MikeBradleyofficial brilliant 🤣
Holy $#!t you've been making these videos for 13 years? I've seen a few now and then but I had no idea. So I've subscribed now and I'll try to get past you being just too damn good looking to play guitar.
Hahahaha.. thanks for giving me a chance!

I respect your opinion but I still think guitar music is in good hands with people like Nick Johnston, Mateus Asato, Plini, Aaron Marshall etc. Things have changed drastically compared to how it was decades ago but it is bound to evolve, 50 years from now maybe i will complain that guitar music might not be like the old days but definitely interesting to see it evolve over the years.
I've been incorrectly labelled a Boomer.....And I think this term is an incorrect guitar technique term. maybe a RUclips guitar term???
Bloody RUclips guitar players!
HAHAHA! Welcome to the dark side, Mike. You just crossed over into angry old man rant territory, which by the way, I totally agree with your complaint. I did the same thing when I first heard the term "Haunting Mids", (I still don't know what the fuck that's supposed to mean! It just pisses me off.) At least you are in good company. Always point it out when the emperor has no clothes.
I've heard of this and never really gave it much thought. Like we all say, a bend is a bend is a bend. How other conventional way is there to do it? I mean I'm sure we can all figure something out but.......
Cheers Mike
Nothing wrong with a rant. PS. Enjoy the show at Maidenhead last weekend
Aww Nick were you at the front? I came out to the foyer after to see you but you must of left. Thank you for the support buddy.
@@MikeBradleyofficial Yes, I was the one with the T Shirt! Sorry I missed you after. Will catch up next time you are in the area. BTW would be great to get a couple of lessons booked with you at some point. Cheers Nick.
lol I thought this phrase up in my head and find out it was already a thing
You’re right Mike - it’s musical illiterates taking the piss. Albert King ✌🏻case closed 🎸
Boomer bends are simpler. Half step/full step blues pentatonic licks and such. They’re amazing and we wouldn’t be here without them. But listen to Empty Hands by Mateus Asiago for instance. 2:13 into the video, in his solo here he’s hitting you with insane bending techniques that are just beyond anything we’ve had. The mechanics and technical skills that it takes.. when implemented right can take even blues and such to another level. Tim Henson and Mateus Asato are re-inspiring guys like me to pick up the 6 string again. Because like EVH they’ve shown us that there’s more to do, more sounds to create. It’s a generational slang and us millennials’ kids will have slang for us too. Lighten up y’all & keep jammin’
Foreals. Tim used this phrase as a joke but he’s not wrong. Guitar players are getting too comfortable playing the same old bluesy classic rock licks that it is getting so boring listening to the same pentatonic licks over and over. I’m 27, played guitar all my life from 10 years old and stopped playing when I went to college, I got really good but I kind of got bored playing the same stuff. Graduate college and heard the song “Goat” from polyphia (Tim hensons band), ironically, and my mouth dropped. I’ve never heard guitar played how Tim and Scott played. It changed my whole perspective on the guitar that there is so much more to be explored and to push the boundaries of music and creativity. from that moment I bought new guitars and started playing again… fully inspired. That was in 2017/2018. I’m still playing now, making my own music that makes me super happy blending my old way of playing and what Tim and Mateus have brought to us guitar players. Mateus is another whole story that I won’t get into lol. But ya, dudes like Tim and Mateus and others are brining so many young kids and teens into playing the guitar. And for the ones close to their thirties like me, it may be inspiring us to pick the guitar up again and feel revolutionized.
Don’t get me wrong I love boomer bending it’s part of my foundational play style but I’m not hating or ranting lol. I’m simply trying different things, maybe trying to bending oddly or differently to sound more unique.
@@dominickortega8489 the problem isn't the bend itself, it's that the word "boomer" is derogatory in a modern sense.
"Boomer" is commonly used to dismiss those who have dated political and sociological views.
People could easily refer to those bends as "blues bends".
@@jkcrawl it is derogatory. That’s the point. If “blues” bend was used then we wouldn’t be having this discussion. At the end of the day it’s a joke. Sure people who are boomers would probably get offended but it’s really targeting those who play the same stuff (or bends) all the time. So yes, it’s derogatory towards boomers but it’s a joke to get his point across.
@@dominickortega8489 that's not his explanation for why he coined the term.
He's specifically said that he wasn't trying to offend anyone but couldn't come up with any other way to describe the sound.
It's a weird thing to be derogatory about. The blues is simply a style of music, it's like shitting on bands for sweep picking or writing breakdowns.
@@jkcrawl he says he didn’t mean to offend anyone but let’s be honest, he thinks it’s overdone and probably annoying to hear and wanted to break out of the stereotype of whats associated with the electric guitar. If you have listened to polyphia’s older albums, him and Scott do a lot of “boomer” bends. If you listen to their following albums from after muse like starting with renaissance and on, they reduce and or stop doing bluesy bends. You can say he took his future comment as a means to evolve and sound different. It went in their favor and now they’re more successful in their careers.
Like you said why didn’t he use bluesy bends? He thinks it’s cringe and overrated. Speculative? Yes but what other explanation is thereto use such an “offensive” word to describe a style of music?
I don’t think it’s weird. I think It’s a bit classless of him but imo it’s weirder to get offended by it. His comment doesn’t stop anyone who’s offended by it to stop enjoy that style of music or from doing bluesy bends. It’s up to them to just ignore/laugh it off and continue to do what they want. Like I’ve mentioned in my first comment to the OP, i like blues, I do “boomer” bends all the time. It’s fundamentally part of my style and playing and I don’t think I’ll ever stop but it does get boring and old and I believe it’s good to broaden your musical horizons.
Regarding your last part juxtaposing Tim’s comment, people do that all the time. That is literally so common to every genre/style of music that people do to what they don’t like or enjoy.
stupid term and a lot of the people i see who are called boomers today are actually gen X. Gen X got old and boomers are are almost 80 now. Its like they call anyone over 55 a boomer.
I’d rather be a boomer bender than a cheap, mediocre imitation of CHON, Tim….
I still wonder what would be a "non-boomer" bend. The term boomer, for whatever it ever meant, has lost it's meaning ...
By Boomer bends, I'm pretty sure Tim meant Chuck Berry / SRV style of playing.
Mike YOU ROCK!!! Thank for all your videos I love ‘em. Don’t know who’s right but I not only tend to agree with you I’ve seen guitar players do more with a single bend than most of these wankers can do while”shredding” all night!
Ps love the UPTOWN FUNK! Blow up your tv and keep on bending brother!
Aww thank you Charles. And yes indeed. You can play a whole solo just bending a couple of notes.
I am guilty of Boomer Bends even though I am technically a Gen X'er 🤣🤣 🤘😎🎸
Play what you like, that's all that matters, and don't let guitarist's, even the great ones like Tim to tell you what technique to use, or not use. Fuck the peer pressure and boomer bend like MF!
I'm a boomer, been bending them 6 strings since I was like 10, that's 50+ years, it's gonna take more than a tattooed tech freak like Mr. Henson to make me stop doing it.
Your comment about modern charts and lack of an EvH tribute at the Grammy's was spot on.
Rock on mate!
Ps: I never watched Game of Thrones, not even for 5 seconds. LOL.
Keep bending buddy, and you need to watch Game Of Thrones!!!
I’m one of those rare people that thinks the term “boomer bend” is entirely apt. I think it just identifies generally players and music fans who think music ceased to evolve in the late 70s and always point to Led Zep, Clapton, blues rock generally and even elements of hard rock such as EVH. The boomer bend is the archetypal guitar move for these players and to my mind is used excessively - it’s a ubiquitous cliche in rock. Henson backed off from this a little but I dont doubt it’s what he meant.
I’m 50, not technically a boomer, but grew up playing blues guitar, I think the term suits the style I learned and it’s something I do strive to get away from in my playing because it has become so cliched.
But bending is the best part!
@@Otis-Isom lol I know man! It’s like I have some kind of guilt complex - too much fun with boomer bends :-D
@@edwardjons8684 I think you can do all the bends you want. I always thought that bending and sliding was very vocal and I seek that out. No reason to use an awesome technique less because some people think it’s old and lame.
@@Otis-Isom I agree, I just think it gets used excessively to the point where what was a cool phrasing becomes too predictable and no longer seems so expressive.
@@edwardjons8684 yeah, my favorite current player who bends is Chris buck. His bending is real unique.
Boomer bends is a term created by toddler guitar players who can't play! By the way, there is no such thing as a worship pedalboard either. It's just a pedalboard!!!
I dont think tim meant the boomer bends thing in a derogatory way, (most youngsters dont use these terms as often as yall think) and also what do you mean by someone who cant play? These guys play pretty well, they just dont play your style that's it.
