Once you get the techniques under your fingers, move the lick around the neck in different positions and keys. You can reference the target pitches of the bends by playing the unbent notes one fret higher. Most of your practice should be centered on executing the half-step bends in tune.
This cool-sounding move is often called a “pre-bend and release” or a “reverse bend.” Upon completing the B-string bend, he picks the G string for the first time and releases the bend, creating a drop in pitch on that string (from Eb to D). FIGURE 5 is an example of a slick, country pedal-steel-style bending technique Gilbert demonstrates whereby he picks a fretted note on the B string, bends the string with his ring finger (supported by the middle finger) and simultaneously bends the G string at the same fret with the tips of the same fingers.
