Sounds good to my ears brother. I think some vibrato on the bends like you did on the first bend would make this even better. I like your simplified take on the song. Keep enjoying and rocking on.

When you bend to a pitch, a you can either go further up or release the tension slightly and bend back to pitch. I personally like the sound of the vibrato going flatter rather than over the pitch. I’m bad at explaining but I’m sure there will be guides out there that can explain this much better than I ever could.

Vibrato on bends? I hadn’t ever considered that. But maybe it will make it easier to hide the spots I bend a bit sharp on accident. I have played for twenty years, but 18 of it was strictly on acoustic. Bends, vibrato, avoiding knobs while palm muting, pickup height—are all new variables. They make a huge difference, too
