Description

The first chord is just a B chord, but it is an A formation barre chord. So you know you can only bend a half step. Start on the 5th string, and after picking the 2nd string pull the bender up a half step, and then release it.


The next one is the Bsus2 chord, and this one is a whole step bend. Again start on the 5th string, and after playing the 2nd string pull the bender, and hold it.


The next one is the Bsus4 chord, but this isn't easy to get. Start on the 5th string, and after you play the 2nd string pull the bender up a whole step, and hold it for this one too.


The next one is the Bsus5 chord, and this one is also a whole step bend. This time start on the 4th string, and after playing the 2nd string pull the bender, and then release it. Bar with the index finger, and the pinky eventhough you're only playing 3 strings.


The last one is a B7 chord, and this is another whole step bend. Start on the 5th string, and after picking the 2nd string pull the bender up a whole step, and then release it.


Hopefully you've found your sweet spot for the half step pull by now, if not keep working at it. Keep practicing all these chord positions, and remember which ones work with a whole step, and which ones work with a half step pull.
