I'm not an expert on this, but here goes. You hit on it already. Think of it like singing . If I want to end up on note D then I would play note C and bend up the note to D with the wheel. That would be a whole step bend of course you could do a half step also to C#
Now to do a scoop;
Bend before the note is pressed, push the wheel back to it's max position and hold it, press C and bring forward to it's home position Thus Bb to C
you can reverse these steps also :idea: :idea: :idea:
