The B-Bender Guitar
🕑 Added 2020-02-27 18:52:29 +0000 UTCBob Clagett from ILikeToMakeStuff made me this beautiful b-bender, a guitar where your strap can bend the b string, and in this video I try my damndest to learn how to play it.

thanks Matt! Yea I was thinking the same thing, I was on a bunch of tours with those guys as the drummer so that type of thing I really associate with them miss playing shows with those guys

By the way I think the reason the standard kind of tuning is a whole step bend is that a lot of Country/Pedal Steel players go from Sus2 chords to major chords with it. Try an open position Asus2 and use the B bender to put the open B string to a C#

Hey! Been a quiet Patreon-er for a while now, but still watch all the videos. Really love the track at the end! Someone said in the comments on YouTube it sounds like Modest Mouse, which I hear - but what I hear is a Driftless Pony Club track. Get Craig in on this!

yea! not a whole lot of noise from the mechanism. A little bit in the song but nothing toooo crazy. Glad you liked my heartfelt lyrics ;)

Funny how you talk about all the squeaky noise and mechanical noise. The feed comes in pretty clean. You got some pretty cool sounds from that machine. I hope to see some more of you rocking this guitar. The ending with it cutting on you starting to sing random stuff made me laugh. Great video!

Holy crap! How have I never heard of these?
