There's a lot more than just pitch bending going on when when you pull 
a string. You got the tone changing (filtering is gonna be needed), 
and the volume level changes, all this and the pitch is constantly 
changing during the bend of the string, so yes it is hard to simulate 
that.

That can be done sometimes by a nice ribbon controller, but it's a lot 
more data to record.
