Lesson: Essential Steel Guitar Bending for Guitar Players

The reason many people hate country music is the same reason that many love it! It’s that whinny, syrupy sound produced by a steel guitar. You know the one… it’s the sound you hear on country songs when your dog dies, your wife runs off with the plumber or your old truck dies on the back road at 2am. That sliding, bending, and crying sound you hear in the background is being squeezed out of an instrument that vaguely resembles a guitar. That is the steel guitar in all its glory!
