[quote name='vmaxblues' post='824000' date='Apr 30 2010, 01:10 PM']On reflectin I think I have not phrased this properly, I use hammer ons and pulls off in my normal playing style, what I was being asked to do was a pull off with a bend, and it was this pull off with bend that is what is the issue.
Thinking about it now I use straight pull offs and hammer ons, but not in conjuction with bends. It was this bend on the 4th fret that was killing the finger.
Does that make sense?[/quote]
Just about. Don't play it on the 4th fret. Play it on the lower string 5 frets further up the board.
