    Default Playing with a vibrato lesson

    I made a lesson on how you can play guitar with a vibrato effect on notes and chords. There are many different styles of vibratos, and here's mine.

    I think I now know why my vibrato attempts resemble the sound effects in a cheap sci fi movie. You sure make vibrato on bends look easy.
    Thanks Robert!

    Yes, excellent lesson! I am just trying to develop a vibrato, and this lesson makes the fundamental concepts easy for me to understand. I also very much like the easy lick example so that I can work on the technique trying to follow exactly what you are doing. Great! Thank you.

    You can download the lesson from my website. There is a download lick - rightclick on it and choose "save link as..."

    Should work. It's a mov file - Quicktime.
