5-minute blues guitar lesson: Dissonant doublestop bends
Guitar skills: Get to grips with the technique used by blues greats including Eric Clapton and Gary Moore

Guitar skills:This technique is used generally by more aggressive blues players such as Eric Clapton and Gary Moore. The idea is to bend two strings at the same time and create a dissonant clash by bending the higher string further than the lower one. Use two fingers for a precise approach or use just your third finger for a looser vibe.
