How to do full tone bends on acoustic or electric guitar! More help ⬇️ This is easier on electric because of thinner strings. On acoustic, only try this on strings 1 and 2 (the unwound strings!) The technique is; 1. Go into the neck like a hand shake 2. Bend at the knuckle, wrist only SLIGHTLY bent 3. The motion is a TWIST at the WRIST, NOT a push up! 4. Support the bend with fingers 1, 2 and 3 together 5. Bend to a pitch 2 frets higher for a whole tone bend Try this and let me know how it goes!
