Don't let inaccurate string bends ruin your sound -- follow Joe's advice and attune your ear to the target note's pitch first.
Pick up Total Guitar issue 214 (on sale 15 April - 12 May 2011) for the accompanying tab and explanation.
In addition to at least three full tabs of classic and contemporary songs from your favourite artists, every issue of TG features three full-song Video Lessons and a Riff Of The Month for the more visually orientated learners among you.
The Video Lessons are hosted online through http://www.totalguitar.co.uk/video, but you'll need to buy the mag to get the most out of them.
Each issue includes the story behind the songs, clearly explained amp and effects settings and backing tracks for all of our Video Lessons and tabs.
