Blues / Rock string bending

Rayza1983

I see blues and rock players bending in 3 places on one string, say starting low down the neck with one bend, then mid with another, then high with the last. Can anyone help me with where its being done say with tab eg. G string   5>7 etc etc. Hope someone knows what I mean haha

Key of G. Bend 5->7 which is the 4th to the 5th (C->dD. Bend 10->12 which is the dominant 7th to root (F->G). Bend 12->15 which is the root to minor third (G->Bb). Is that what you mean?

EDIT: also possibly 15->17 (Bb->C) and 17->19 (C->D again).

It's so rare for a guy so good to be so humble. I'd love to see Greg Koch and Guthrie have a jam.
