Another symbol I haven’t seen before is the one for a choke bend. A  “vertical line then short horizontal line” used when a grace note is involved or an upside down V over the notes without grace note. Bend and immediately mute with your fretting hand.

I find that there is a no standard for some symbols and only a “song book notation  legend” can clear up any confusion.

I always thought that a straight vertical line above a note indicated a pre-bend. It could be a pre-bend to the grace note, then bent further to the held note. Kind of like what David Gilmour frequently does.

I think I understand . It’s just a quick bend, bend up and mute. (Bend up and choke) chock bend. The  source was just using a bend terminology  I hadn’t hear before and I assumed it was something new. 

 The rhythmic structure really determines the duration of the bend
