Hi David! I hope you are doing well!

I'm practicing Buffet Line and while playing along with the track, I notice that my bends in choruse 3 are not quite in tune with what you play

Are you starting your bend in the draw 3 second bend (F# note) right?

Any suggestion to nail that note in tune? Thanks

Hello Norlo28. All is good

Hello Norlo28. All is good hear, I hope the same for you. Dips typically start around a half step in depth (depth for a dip is not an exact science), but since we're on a half note (more time), and it sounds cool to do so for this lick, I do start a little deeper. So, yes, closer to F#.
