This is a great video of Jerry Donahue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJaSZxZJFV0) showing up close some of his string bending techniques.

WoW!!!!!
Thanks for the link David.
I'm not a guitar player (some say.not even a bass player)  but just a joy to watch.....and so modest at the same time.

Watching this, I'm tempted to agree with George: I'm not a guitar player!

Jerry Donahue has played with Fotheringay, Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention, and most recently, where I noticed him, the Hellecasters.  I love his song King Arthur's Dream off their first album.  I don't have a copy, or a link; but I do hear it on internet radio (Pandora).
 
Bill; by that definition, most guitarists aren't guitar players.

Haiwaian and banjo licks all on the same guitar, along with Albert Lee Jerry is a master at that style
