Ben demonstrates a practical method for developing accurate string bends by using a target note as a pitch reference, then matching it with semitone, tone and larger bends. By repeating the process with different fingers, directions, strings and areas of the neck, the exercise builds strength, intonation control and the connection between the ear and the hands.

Ben introduces four additional minor chord voicings and inversions, showing how they connect with the existing minor 6 shapes to create smooth movement across the fretboard. Rather than memorising isolated chords, the focus is on building a connected “jigsaw” of related shapes that can be used for transitions, passing chords, and richer gypsy jazz rhythm playing, laying the groundwork for both accompaniment and lead improvisation.

Ben explores string bending across every string and position on the guitar, showing how identical bends feel different depending on string tension, fretboard location, and fingering. The focus is on developing consistent technique, accurate intonation, and expressive control so bends become musical, vocal, and emotionally convincing regardless of where they occur on the neck.

Ben adds the final basics of la pompe, focusing on the brush upstroke, subtle swing feel, stabs, and triplet rolls. The aim is to keep the rhythm tight and driving while adding small accents and pushes without losing the groove.
