So I'm reading the tabs for NIB and it says to bend 7-9 on the D string
for all you tab haters that would be bending A#-B
how do I go about this. I know the basic principles of bending notes but am lost on how to bend one note into another.

pull harder! and retune after the song. should sound good if pulled smoothly and cleanly. |

| | | | 7th is A and 9th is B so from so a whole tone. A semitone is quite near the G string so a whole note is way over the fretboard or touching the G string at least. Are you sure it's not a hammer-on? I'm really not familiar with the song... EADG tuning?

And, you can bend by pushing the note, instead of pulling it. Push the D string towards the A, you'll have plenty of physical room to move it a whole step. Whether you've got the strength to do so depends on your strings and your action.

The bends in Geezer's intro might be nearer a full tone though.
Stuff the TAB fingering, is there any reason not to play it starting on the E, 12th fret? Loads of room to move & it's in the same register.

Pete. | One good reason not to play it at the 12th fret of the E string is because the note needs to be an A, not an E. Maybe the 12th fret of the A string however, for the good reasons you stated.
