30+ years ago, me and my wah wah pedal were inseparable. Hendrix inspired, my wah wah was always on.

After a while, I got sick of the sound of the wah wah, and starting playing without them

This was right around the time that just about every other guitar player started using them

A few years ago, a got a whammy, and decided that it was time to go back and start using pedals again

I needed a drill to help me get back into it, so I decided to use the pedals with my bending exercises

It is especially cool to use pedals from the sitting position. You can use more than one, and you have better feel

As far as bending is concerned, you should be able to bend in both directions with every finger

You should learn to combine more than one finger together for more strength

Don't forget about the right hand. You can do bends with your tapping hand as well
