Hello, everyone.

During today's practice, I decided to try and spice up a pretty simple solo by adding some bends and vibrato, but every time I tried to bend the strings, the strings were muted instead of changing pitch. I did it as described in the Bends and Vibrato tutorial, so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something horribly wrong, since my strings are just muffled if not completely muted. Can someone please help me out?
