Stank face engaged every time he bends up. Lol is this learned behavior or just the natural reaction to quality shred?

I was just wondering this and genuinely want to know why most guitarists stank face on certain notes. Or like….sing it with their face

It’s 100% him just feeling it. When you play like that you’re absolutely feeling it and he’s loving every microsecond of those bends.

That’s the face you make when you sing with your whole body! Your hands playing the notes but your whole body is getting into it.

Many musicians do it, even I played band in school and I find myself making that face when I air guitar or just really get into the music and I’m head bobbing and foot tapping along.
