- Guitar Question

"Robearle asks, "HI Brad & Dave, A serious question from me this time (for a change). For the most part, i have no trouble bending notes, but on occasion, I will bend a note, and the string above the string which I am bending seems to catch on my fingertip and then sort of 'flicks' under the fingertip with a "thunk" sound. basically my question is this: Is this a common problem, or do I need to sort out the angle at which my fingers come down on the strings, or is it an 'action' issue? Thanks, Rob.""
