You know hotel california by eagles? Nyhow, in the middle of the solo the guy does a bend ont the 12th fret of the high e, in which, i am pretty sure of it, he uses a temolo. I think the same thing is played on the Brick int the wall solo by Pink Floyd. But how exactly is it done? If anyone can help me, i would appreciate it.

Ok, just listened to the solo. I laughed out loud when I realized what you were talking about, because I LOVE this technique. He's bending from the fret you said, but while bent he's plucking the string and then muting it shortly after before plucking it again. This gives it a very staccato feel.

I want the P-funk!

My band is better than yours...
