Sometimes I make a backing track so I can practice playing a solo and just improvise over a chord progression. When I play a solo I sometimes like to bend the G, B, and E strings like crazy. The bends make the guitar cry and add more emotion to the sound, especially when you bend and use vibrato at the end of the bend.
Here is a little idea I put together tonight so you can see some of the strings I like to bend. I started with the bass and drums and then I added the keyboards (electric piano).
