'''Bending ''' is a technique used to increase the pitch of a note by increasing the string tension. It involves pushing or pulling a resonating string towards the sides of the fretboard while maintaining contact with the fret, sliding the string against the fret.
Bending is represented in tab by the letters ''b'', ''h'', and ''r'', which stand for ''bend'', ''hold'', and ''release''.
