Pedal Steel Bends

This is a style of string bending mostly related to traditional country style guitar but it certainly does not have to be limited to that. These can be used to create harmony and chords when soloing or accompanying others. To make chords with this technique you bend notes to a desired pitch precisely while holding the others dead still.

The video uses a simple chord progression to demonstrate this.

Desperado Piano Intro

This is the piano intro to Desperado by the Eagles arranged for guitar. This is a very doable part for players of almost any level. It is a pretty sparse piano part that moves gently and at an easy speed. Click below for the notation/tab PDF. Check out the YouTube video if you want to hear it or get any playing tips. I played with my fingers in the video but it can easily be played with a pick, as well.
