I think one Guthrie suggested somewhere is to play simple melodies you know, bending up to each note from the fret below.
The results sound quite drunken Smile

I guess this could then be taken a step further by bending from two frets below, etc.

Another good exercise could be starting with the bent note and releasing the bend gradually to the note below. That should really help you work on the intonation aspect of bending with control and finesse.

A good example with thorough explanation of tasty bending can be found in Larry Carlton's first instructional video (released in the 80's).

His live album "Last Nite" recorded live at the Baked Potato would have to contain some of the sweetest bends!


From reading Creative Guitar One, I'm sure Guthrie must have seen most of the 'guitar instructional videos' out there and borrowed a few ideas...



Cheers
