Obviously you want to listen to what it is doing to your sound. A lot of guitar players do vibratos, almost, kind of, a nervous habit especially heavy metal guitar players where they just do it because standing out certain knobs or playing one knob for too long makes them kind of nervous. You definitely want to listen to what you are playing and how it's affecting the sound coming out, and if you don't really like the sound of a vibrato, really fast vibrato, then obviously you should work on maybe having a slow one.
So let's try that same technique but we would do with our third finger here on the 5th fret in the 6th string and it's the same thing, we are still going to roll against our first finger. It's just is going to feel little more awkward since we are rolling on one finger and fretting with another one. So this is one of those things where you want to use all of your hand together, and then.
Now let's try on our bend. We are going to bend here at the 8th fret at full step, and then add a little vibrato at the end. I like to bend the knob, get it to pitch and then add the vibrato. You might like to add the vibrato right after that but I like the contrast between the playing knob, bend to pitch and then the vibrato later. It's one of those things where you are doing something very simply that sounds a lot richer.
So I am going to bend the knob with my third finger using my second finger to help me do the bend, first finger is going to meet the strings above, I am going to twist on that point again, first finger at the bottom of the neck and then when I get there, I am just going to just gently fluctuate between the pitch and just add a pitch.
So you start out here with your third finger, your second finger whatever you feel comfortable with here on the 5th fret on the top string. You are going to hit that twice and give as much vibrato as you can. You are going to cover the 3rd fret, do the same exact picking, have to hit it twice.
