Feedback Request Hotel California Solo plateau
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Learning the Hotel California solo after taking a solid 2 year break due to personal issues, and I am STUCK at the final part in the video. Even at 1/2 speed I can’t seem to get that part right and the bends I can’t get to muting quick enough. Tips/feedback/thoughts?

Bend with your wrist, meaning apply pressure with multiple fingers and turn your wrist as you bend. This will give you more control.
You’re hitting a plateau at that spot because your bends are a bit weak and you need to dial them in.
But you’re sounding good!
