I’m trying to learn Slash’s solo in “Mr Brownstone” for the cover band I’m in. In the first passage, he bends the double stop on the 16th fret of the B and G strings multiple times a half step. How is this accomplished?
For double stops anywhere else, I’d use two fingers, one per string. This high up on the fret board, my fingers can’t fit. I tried doing this with one finger but it’s really tricky and I can’t quite get it.
Try laying your ring finger across the two strings, barring the notes, and then pull the bend down towards the high e, rather than pushing it up. I haven’t listened to that solo in a while, but the other bend technique guys used, was to bend the B string up to the G, then continuing pushing up into the G string to get a double stop with one finger.
I use the middle finger or ring finger that high up as well 15th 17th fret for example, if it’s half a step i can just about do it but anything more I’m in trouble.
