I grew up listening to [Bm] players that played B benders.
And a [G#m] B bender guitar, which isn't what I have here,
mine's [B] got a G.
B bender guitars have their own thing.
And you [E] heard them on everything from the Eagles
to Ricky Skaggs and Steve Warner and those guys.
It was really the most prominent bender.
And it's a higher string, so it's that sort of
[B]
[C#] [Dm]
[N] But the G, I actually had Joe Glaser build me a G bender
a long time ago in the first guitar I got a G.
It's exactly like a steel guitar mechanism.
If you look at a steel guitar,
it's a bunch of saddles that look like this.
And they can hook up levers and pedals
and things to any of them.
And it'll move this a whole step.
[Em] And there's a little lever back here.
And when you pull [A] down,
[B] [A]
[N] it raises this G string a [A] whole step.
And
[D] [A]
[E] [B] [E]
[Em] [D]
[E]
[A] [E] it's something you can kind of use when you get stuck.
The reason being that Jimmy Olander with Diamond Rio

He had both where he could

[B]
[E] [G#m] [C#m] [D]
[E] [G#] sounded a little more musical to me,
a little less twangy and a little more throaty,
like a steel guitar maybe.
And I loved what it does to like [A] the
[D#] [Em] [D]
[B] [Dm] [A] [Em]
[D] [E] [D]
[Em] [Cm] [A]
What I find is, [G] and I do a lot of sort of bending without it
[Dm] but [Em] [D] [A]
[G] [A] it's got a different pedal steel sound to it.
So I can [D] go
[F#m] [A] But if I go
[E] There's a [D] little more of that [F#m] [G] as opposed to
[D] [Em] [D] [C] [A] [Em] [D] [G]
