Hey Sonic Junction - This week we're developing our moaning skills. We're creating that moan by using volume swells, in conjunction with some swooping bends. A good moan, especially on long tones, will give your playing a big time, soul infusion.

Have no doubt that your demonstrations and explanations are needed! By me for sure.
In addition to the seemless volume and pitch swell, you also get changes in tone that are kind of uncanny. Who would think it could be so tricky to play one note?
