    as far as i know:

    (1) 14r12: u bend da 12th note up nd pick when u think it should sound like da 14th note.nt b4 dat. dis takes quite a lot of practise bcoz u need 2 hav a very good idea as 2 howmuch bending it should take 2 gt da note at da 12th fret up2 da 1 at da 14th fret. remember 2 pick only after u think dat da sound will be dat of da 14th fret nd nt b4

    (2)12b14: da easiest of the lot. pick da string with da 12th fretted nd bend up (making sure dat da note continues 2 ring) so dat da note nw sounding is dat of da 14th fret

    (3) 14b16r14: ur guess now. fret at da 14th, pick nd bend up2 da note on da 16th (note continues 2 ring). thn b4 da sound dies down release the perpendicular pressure (da bending force) so dat da note nw sounding is dat of da 14th fret

    is dis CLEAR enuf?
    rep if u like it
