Hi All, As promised, I've got some more B-Bender material. For those of you unfamiliar with the B-Bender guitar, I fill you in with my gap-y knowledge. :-) The B-Bender sounds amazing and is a great way to expand your creativity and imagination on the guitar. So, in order for you to better understand the B-Bender Guitar I've posted a lesson called Triads for the B-Bender which gives you a way to connect B-Bender licks to triads on strings 1,2, and 3. I hope you enjoy! Here is the link! https://jeffsguitarandsteel.com/lessons/song/video-lesson-b-bender-triads/1748 For those of you unfamiliar with the B-Bender guitar, I fill you in with my gap-y knowledge. :-) Clarence White, bluegrass phenom and child guitar prodigy was trying to get his Telecaster guitar to sound like a pedal steel. He found that if was able to raise the B string on the guitar it would mimic what the A pedal does on a pedal steel. So, he rigged a contraption to his B string tuning peg with a coat hanger that was hooked a kick drum pedal or something kooky. When he stepped on the pedal with his foot it would raise the B string. It was unwieldy, didn't work very well, and definitely didn't look cool at all. A drummer who knew Clarence, Parsons or Green can't remember which, saw Clarence trying to do this, and thought that's the worst way of doing it, and invented a contraption to go into the back of the guitar to make B bending more seamless, accurate, and not too mention more aesthetically pleasing for semi-autistic engineers. And so! The Parsons/Green B-Bender is born. Sorry in advance for any misrepresentations of the story or the many details missed...
