Just like there no method to paying a steel. just move the little bar and wiggle your fingers, and POOF! Music will automatically sound perfect?
Or did you have to learn something other than pic at the strings and stomp pedals before you could play it?
Most of the members here are learning, a good share of them are sometimes smokers, and some are experts. Us new members learn from those more experienced when they offer more insight other than just to rub, cook, rest, and eat. Which, btw is a method in itself. You wouldn't want to eat it first.
The thread starter specifically asked about the bend test. We posted some pics, showing that. Big deal. So if you don't do a bend test, and find it amusing, just read, and move on. Don't make the person trying to learn something feel foolish.
I'm done. sheesh!
