Let's apply it somewhere else, let's try the twelfth fret here on the second string. I am going to do half step bend, first finger here on the twelfth fret of the second string, thumb up here to help you get leverage and with my second finger I am going to play on target note, just get the target pitched on my hit.
Let's come back to the twelfth fret, push up and I want to just barely touch the third string with either the skin of my first finger or my nail. Get the target note again. And let's try the fourteen fret on the first string.
You're just going to want to place your first finger here on the fourteen fret, first string, thump up here for leverage, and then add your second finger here on the fifteen fret just to give you a target note, come back and let's bend, as I push up, I have got it little opened there. As you push it up, you want to just let your first finger come in contact just barely with the string above it.
Often times you are going to require your right hand to really mute some of these open strings. If you notice, I am putting my thumb down here across these -- the third and the second strings here just to kind of as an insurance policy. To make sure that no open strings are really opened. That's half-step bend.
Then sliding with the third and second finger, sliding from the fourteenth fret and the thirteenth fret of strings three and two. Start with the fourteenth fret on the third string and you're going to bend up a half step.
