I have a question for the Cat's guitar experts - is it even possible to bend a note 3 frets (1 and a half tones) on an acoustic guitar??? My fingers have developed perma-trenches over the last few days from trying, and I can still barely make 2 frets let alone 3! I've tried using my first two fingers on the fret behind to help with the push, but still no go. :-(

Is it because I'm playing an acoustic rather than an electric? Or because the Elixir strings I'm using (and loving) make the fretboard/strings too slippery? Or is because of my "little girlie fingers", as my son so heartwarmingly (not!) pointed out the other day watching me struggle in vain? (I do have very small hands...can barely reach over an octave on the piano... *sniff sniff*)

Any ideas or suggestions or explanations would be much appreciated.
