"Faux steel bends" as they're also known, are an important skill to have in your arsenal of tricks as a lead guitarist. Not only can they provide you with an endless supply of snappy, twangy country licks, but they can also be used in a much more ambient, layered soundscape type of a way to add ethereal beauty to your playing.

Volume swells are seen as something of a "dark art", but like anything, spend some time getting these movements into your muscle memory and before long you'll find yourself 'violin-ing" left, right and centre! ;)

Aside from all of that, this is a good lesson for exploring triads and double stops too!

(Lesson materials will also include my backing track)

And as always, stick around til the end for gear talk and recommended listening 👌🏻
