    Play the string fretted at the 13th fret, bend it a full step (so it sounds like it was played at the 15th fret), then bend back.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    that's what I was thinking, but how do we explain the 'p'? :/

    pb is prebend, r is release
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    That makes sense...

    If so, then you fret the string at the 13th, bend it up so it sounds like it was played on the 15th fret and THEN pick (pick AFTER bending) and then de-bend (release) to the 13th. You could fake it by playing --15--13-- but I would assume the bend is a big deal. It ends up sounding like you were bending DOWN instead of up.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    I am referring to the solo on Something . A prebend which is just the sound of the string bending down from its bent position.

    This is where i got it.the three paragraph. I doesn't sound right with just the prebend.
