Guitar Lesson: How to Play Vibrato

Hi. I am Bob from Toronto, Canada. This guitar lesson is about how to play by vibrato notes like this. [Demonstration] And, [Demonstration] Vibrato is important because it adds one and character to your guitar playing, without it the rest would sound flat. Here is an example of a writhe with no vibrato. [Demonstration] And the same writhe using vibrato, [Demonstration] Hear the difference? When using vibrato, bend the note up and shake it up and down. [Demonstration] With your thumb, pock on the top of the neck in order to get good leverage. When using vibrato, without bending the note up, give the note a shake up and down. [Demonstration] Try it on different fingers. [Demonstration] Up and down. [Demonstration] When using vibrato, high up on the fret board. I would suggest using your middle finger as your fret are so small, like this. [Demonstration] And when practicing vibrato, I would suggest doing so on in a acoustic guitar. That will build up the strength in your fingers. Practice bending up slowly. [Demonstration] Up and down slowly in single notes on each finger slowly. [Demonstration] Once again using each finger, [Demonstration] Practice it in various parts of the guitar. [Demonstration] I hope this lesson has been helpful and if you have any questions. Please message me. Also, I have several guitar lessons with tabs on my guitar group on myspace. Go to myspace.com and go to groups and take in guitar lessons and look for Bob’s guitar lessons.
