Not uncommonly, when I bend aggressively, I inadvertently play the string above as well. Specifically what happens is that my finger pushes up to the string above and then the string above pops under my finger, and sounds whatever that note would be at that fret (e.g., let's say I'm bending at the 8th fret of the B string (G) and the G string pops under my finger sounding a D#. Then, when I release the bend, that same string pops out from under my finger and sounds the open note of that string. Any thoughts on how to avoid this?

Thanks,

Dave
