Someone school me on Pitchbend

Really, it just takes a lot practice (especially with timing it). I've taken the liberty and recorded two different (s. storch) melodies for you.

The first is the "lean back" melody without bending, and then with bending; the second is "candy shop" without the bend, and then with the bend.

I've done the variations, so you can see were I (or rather storch) bends the notes in the melodies. And when you bend, don't really worry about moving the wheel all the way back, it's the more subtle bends that usually sound better. Also, instead of "pushing" the wheel, just tap it, so it has a quicker release. Hope this helps!
 
do you know what pitch-bend range is used(2semitones?)
I think sometimes he just taps the wheel ,but he also uses the full range too...
what makes the sound special is that it "doesn't sound" pitch-bended ,it almost sounds like a natural vibrato...
