Hi Tom, you did a wonderful job with Black Water! What gauge of strings did you use to do those whole tone bends? I can only do half tone bends on my acoustic with medium gauge strings.

Hi there and thanks! :)

As I recall, I used mediums but switched out the B string with a light gauge especially for the bends. You could also just use lights all across the board or work on your "heavy lifting" and bend the medium B with three fingers (index, middle and ring)

Good luck, Tom~
