How to Read a Quarter Bend on Guitar Tabs

Video Transcript

"BRYAN BILLHIMER: Okay. In this step, were' going to talk about slight bend or a quarter bend. You have the 7th fret G string. It is a bend so we'll see this arrow coming up just like the other bends. But above it, instead of full or half, it's going to say quarter which is not even a full pitch. So, on a slight bend or a quarter bend, we're going to just bend the string ever so slightly. So, 7th fret, G string, that's all you need to do. That would be a half bend, so not even quite to that. So I can probably going to use that in a riff or something. It's more of an effect thing. You're not going to get an exact pitch out of it."
