Pitch Bending Master Class - Shred your Solos with Half Step Pitch Bends

This tutorial introduces a Powerful "Next Level" Technique for Keyboard and Keytar players that I call "Half-Step Pitch Bending". Unlike Whole-Step Pitch Bending (F to G), a Half-Step pitch bend (F to Gb) lets you bend the pitch to the "Blue Note" (in the key of C), giving you more expression, more style as a keyboard player, almost like a guitar player. Whole Step pitch Bending on a keyboard is done quite easily due to the default setting of 2 semitones for pitch benders on most keyboards. Close inspection your keyboard "settings page" will (hopefully) offer pitch bend options beyond the whole step. Jan Hammer favored a minor third (such an awesome bend!!) and would bend whole steps with careful & restrained use of the pitch wheel on his trusty Mini Moog. My personal approach is to set the UP for a whole step bend (which I use quite often), while also allowing for a "shorter" bend to achieve the Half-Step Bend. BTW, I always set the DOWN for two octaves to mimic the "Whammy Bar" effect, but many keyboards do not have 2 distinct pitch settings for UP and DOWN Pitch Bending. I'm happy to note that the Roland Juno DS does have this useful feature ! In the key of D minor I will show you where half-step bends naturally occur within the scale, and those are great opportunities for musical expression. However, there are several Half-Step Bend opportunities that are NOT in the scale - - and that's where you'll get the biggest bang-for-buck. One of the coolest Half-Step Bends that is NOT in the scale is from the FOURTH scale step to the diminished FIFTH, also known as the TriTone (or Blue Note). This particular Pitch Bend is so funky, so bluesy and filled with attitude that you'll find yourself using it with great frequency. Be sure to watch the entire video because there's an even more useful Half-Step Pitch Bend at the end that will blow your mind - it will turn you into an epic Blues Shredder.
