I'm working on this technique and finding it really difficult - keeping hold of the bar properly when I bend, and just the strength need to pull up to pitch. I'm about to try lighter strings.
There's an interview with Chris Scruggs here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vli9nqnCINA
talking about guitar and steel, and a fabulous section showing steel techniques, including the best behind the bar bending I've ever seen - emulating the common pedal moves from a PSG. The steel part starts about 1hr 24 minutes. I'll keep running this part over and over to see whether I can get it!Enjoy!
