Sc0rpi0n	Bends are something that I need pracitce on lol. I like to do ALOT of hammer-ons and pull-offs more than anything with a bend or two thrown in. I do like slides alot but not quite good at them yet hehe.	Bends are something that I need pracitce on lol.

ze monsta	Meh. I just listened and copied people like Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell and the eternal Robert Johnson. So I can't say I've learnt a technique, exactly but finger picking/slapping kinda thing sounds great on acoustic.	Meh.

E V H 5150	Well, it really helped to learn minor pentatonics! I also like to vibrato a lot, and bend, too. I just try and emulate BB King sometimes, or other good blues guitarists. A lot of bends... a lot.	Well, it really helped to learn minor pentatonics! I also like to vibrato a lot, and bend, too. I just try and emulate BB King sometimes, or other good blues guitarists.
