5 Blues Licks from Pattern 1

When practicing string bending on the highest E string (String 1), I have now broken two strings when bending from fret 8 to 10. The string break occurs around the 8th fret. This has happened whilst bending to the correct note (i.e., I have not been overbending to a too high pitch). Any experts out there have any advice for me?

First, check for sharp frets. Maybe give them a polish.

Cheers, Shane

@Richard_close2u That’s exactly what I was looking for, an example of playing these licks over a backing track. Thanks for putting this together, glad I found it!
