5) once you get it you can do it with 2 fingers (middle finger and index finger) or index finger alone in different strings. 6) the vibration comes from the wrist, not from the fingers. Forearm must be very relaxed. An exercise you can do everywhere to get used to this is to close your fist and rotate it clockwise and counter-clockwise as it was a big screwdriver (believe me, this helps!). Vibrato is harder in acoustic guitars because strings have more thickness
This technique is not as easy as it looks. I suffered thru years until I found the way. I'll give you some recommendations: 1) start doing it with 3 fingers (ring finger in the note, index and middle fingers in the same string will give you more strength). 2) practice it in G-string or B-string between frets 12 and 15 (this area of the fingerboard is easier and softer). 3) start slowly. 4) don't try it while bending or doing chords. Those two are advanced ones, leave them for later.
@TokioHotelLeadz I'm sorry, I just can't handle Tokio Hotel. It makes me sick. Doesn't mean you can't like it, that's not for me to say ;)
It kinda, provokes such reactions inside of me when I read their name. I mean, imagine having to see Bill with your mind's eye, when you think he's the most GAY-ASS DOUCHEBAG in the world.
@FreddieMercuryOwns Hmm.. Opinions my friend, it's okay. I like Bill as much as you like Freddie (obviously) (btw i like Freddie so much too! ^^) so yeah, once again opinions! :)
I dont know if you did, but maybe you could spend more time on BB. King-wrist wiggle vibrato? I understood there are three types of vib, bend vibrato, violin-up-and-down the string vibrato and finally the wrist-wiggle.
Well, Im sorry but I dont get it at all... Doesnt work and my teacher cant explain it to me either... he kinda describes it as a lot of very small bendings done in a few seconds... but I dont get how to do that "wrist-turning"-thing if you get what I mean... Can anybody explain it to me?
@Volarere an exersice I discovered for that is to keep your arm still, and turn your hand from right to lef repeateadly, so the movement is by your wrist, some other people "shake" the guitar body for the vibrato, others have some others techniques, but the relaxed wrist if to me, the most effective and smooth ;)
After three years of never bothering to fix my vibrato technique, your excellent wording has made it all fall into place. Specifically, the concept of "letting go" as you mention at 1:04. Thank you.
@shankful1 ....that's not the best way to think of it...vibrato is always fast, while the tremolo bar (whammy) doesn't necessarily bend the note back and forth. Thinks of vibrato as a vibration; the note shakes instead of staying even. Tremolo can bend the note down or up, but doesn't necessarily (or often, in my opinion) vibrate.
Easy guys, some people will pick up things quicker than others. I could finger tap and sweep pick decently the first time I tried them, but this is definitely harder for me. I think it has a lot to do with your guitar neck, your wrists, and finding a way that works best do you.
I dnt get wats so difficult D: i dnt wanna sound like a douche but, from wat i see all u do is basically shake the strings, i do it all da time, and i only been playin for like 2 years, soo someone tell me if im wrong or i dnt get the concept cuz i really wanna learn D:
@gh3god129 I thought it was pretty easy when I first learned. Then I started really concentrating on a proper vibrato, and then it got hard...Gotta get back to practicing...
I was having some trouble from going to Classic guitar to Electric. The vibrato is done differently cause in one it's a sideways motion and another up and down motion.
@christy1234567891011 Are you retarded or something? I meant I've been playing guitar for 4 months when I watched this and that I did it on my first try.
@zamm0rock What do you want? A cookie? Maybe you are used to bending your wrists. Nobody who says they think things are tough wants to hear some jerkoff say it's a piece of cake and that they did it on their first try. If you do that in life, you're going to wind up with few friends and an awful lot of people who can't stand your sorry sack. Learn some friggin' social skills, buddy.
am i the only one who is confused with why everyone is saying this is hard? ive never had trouble with this and ive only been playing guitar for a few years
@MARIOFREAK821 Just practise a lot, how long have you been playing? I play half a year now, never had a lot of trouble with vibratos but I know what you mean, When I bend a string I allways touch and ring other strings, if that is your problem to you should mute them with your palm. Let people know what your problem is maybe they can help you with it
@glennvanzutphen Well I've been playing almost a year now but almost all of that was on a cheap acoustic with strings that almost didn't even bend. I didn't get my electric guitar until a few weeks ago. And that's a good idea, I'll have to try that. :)
@MARIOFREAK821 I know the problem, electric is a lot easier, if you have any questions about it just ask me, maybe I know it, otherwise im pretty good with searching on google :P
hey man i need your help. in 2007 i had a terrible accident and broke both bones in my left arm. i mean they were snapped in 2 and out my arm lol. but the break was about an inch and a half below my wrist. because of this, the motion for vibrato is incredibly difficult for me, but im trying. any alternate methods you could explain for me? please anyone
@MetalliMan0521 There is this Eric Clapton vibrato method where he keeps his wrist still and moves his whole hand up and down while he is bending the strings. And you can do finger vibrato to where you only utilize just your fingers to do vibrato. Hope that helped a little bit!
@jakesegdirb thanks man that did help. only using my fingers sounds good and is so much easier, it just looks a little sloppier. but that is perfectly fine lol thanks again
Okay, I play Viola Cello and Guitar, an I would have to say the Order of easiest and hardest to me would be: Cello(Easiest) Viola(So so) and Guitar HARDEsT!
Sure it can be done, but in most cases it will sound better with finger vibrato (to my ears). With the whammy bar you get a cleaner sound, but with finger vibrato it got overall more feel to it in my opinion. And you got a better sustaining note with more harmonics is many cases.
it is easier to do this to a metronome to build up speed. bend to the right pitch, lower the string slightly then bring it back up. takes a while but once you get it......it adds so much more emotion to your playing.
@MsMichael1995 ... use a high output bridge pickup, low string action, high-gain amp. For some reason the Ibanez RG (prestige) series seems to make these harmonic overtones pop-up easily.
damn i learned it bad and now i cant really do it good cuz i do it with my fingers straight up and not doing it angled and with the whrist so i have a very weak whrist now, any tips please?
thanks for making this simpler, especially about using the wrist. I find myself using upward vib on trem strings and downward motion on bass strings. Nice easy visual. Thanks.
But there's this song and the last chord don't know which one it is, kinda new, only playing for 2 monts and studying it on my own. But it goes like this
D-1~------ And uhm, it's pretty hard to bend there, even more when you bar it,
A-1~------ so if someone would have some advice for me? please help :D
@tHeViNcTa666 ups, the lay out is kinda messed up -.-
As you can hopefully see, the 3 capital letters with "-1~---" behind it should be beneath each other and between "But it goes like this" and "and uhm..."
- a vibrato is like "bend release bend release bend release" etc etc... but the MOST IMPORTANT thing to do is when you release the string, ALWAYS release the string all the way back to the starting note, if you don't do it you'll be out of tune...
I hope I helped someone by writing this comment... I'm sorry if I posted 4 comments in a row it was saying error when I tried to post it as a whole comment
- take the letter L, imagine that the base of the L is your thumb, put the neck of the guitar right in the corner of that L, use that corner as a point of pivot for the wrist movement
vibrato is definitely tricky. its one of those things, you dont practice it everyday for hours and finally get it, you just play all the time and one day its there, its more a discovery, a wise professor one said you cant plan to make a discovery but u can just create the right conditions for discovery to occur. just keep trying at it
when doing a standard vibrato, when your slightly bend the string does it matter whether you bend it down towards the floor and release it, or bend it up then release it? because from what ive heard your meant to bend it down towards the floor , but when i do that it sounds 10 times worse than when i bend it up and release it. You would think that bending the string up wouldnt make a different sound than bending it down anyway so it shouldnt matter which way you do it?
I just love this video, how amazing. If you are looking for a central point to watch guitar videos or want to learn the guitar then the place I visit most often is LEARN2PLAYONLINE (dot) INFO
I get it... but if I bend the string this much, it already changes the height of the note so ita sounds false... it vibrates but as a note higher than the one I want.... could anyone help me? Should a change the strings?
Practice it slowly, and what you do is you bend up to the pitch you want, and then add vibrato by releasing the bend slightly and bending it back up to the pitch you aimed for in the first place, so rather than with standard vibrato where you bend the pitch up slightly and releasing it continuously, you bend up to the note and add vibrato by releasing the bend and then bending back up continuously.
@sickspastic : Yep, thats the one with me as well. IT takes some strength. I have found that using the guitar weight helps. But like you, I am spending time practising this as when it comes I am sure we will be thing "Easy" - hahahaha
Well... What evidence do you have to support that this is tremolo? I'd bet if you go and ask anyone formally trained in music, they would say this is vibrato, not tremolo. Heck, look it up on wikipedia or something, too. I'm not trying to argue or anything, it's just been that this is called vibrato by everyone but Leo Fender and some people influenced by him. And many people that call a vibrato a tremolo will admit that its proper name is a vibrato.
If you're basing this on the fact that Leo Fender incorrectly named his Stratocaster vibrato a tremolo, then you should look around for the millions of people who have mentioned that he mislabeled it.
Vibrato has been known as a change in pitch, tremolo a change in volume, and it's been that way for hundreds of years. Only until Fender mixed up their vibrato and tremolo did people start widely confusing the two.
im not basing it on that (i have no idear that that even happened) its a bit outlandish to say its been like that for hundreds of years when theres too little evidence to support it.
@Artur440 try changing the way you think about it, "vibrato is a very easy technique, I will get it with practise". The way you think affects the way you play ;)
@Artur440 I know, but once you learn it, you legit will always use it. Even without thinking about it. Happens to me all the time. It's like a natural instinct now aha.

don't squeeze the string harder with the finger when you shake it
just keep the pressure even, don't stress the pitch

Any exercises? or just carry on with the clumsy slow motion crap that seems to come from my fingers

vibrato is definitely tricky. its one of those things, you dont practice it everyday for hours and finally get it, you just play all the time and one day its there, its more a discovery, a wise professor one said you cant plan to make a discovery but u can just create the right conditions for discovery to occur. just keep trying at it

when doing a standard vibrato, when your slightly bend the string does it matter whether you bend it down towards the floor and release it, or bend it up then release it? because from what ive heard your meant to bend it down towards the floor , but when i do that it sounds 10 times worse than when i bend it up and release it. You would think that bending the string up wouldnt make a different sound than bending it down anyway so it shouldnt matter which way you do it?

never really understood what Vibrato was in guitar playing, does it always mean give the string a shake on string with a left finger???
adds3566 2 years ago
@adds3566 Vibrato, in any music, means to make the note sound like it "vibrates" and shaking the string accomplishes this. Hope i could help!

i always struggle with vibrato during bends. it always causes me to bend out of pitch
sickspastic 2 years ago 53
Practice it slowly, and what you do is you bend up to the pitch you want, and then add vibrato by releasing the bend slightly and bending it back up to the pitch you aimed for in the first place, so rather than with standard vibrato where you bend the pitch up slightly and releasing it continuously, you bend up to the note and add vibrato by releasing the bend and then bending back up continuously.

@sickspastic : Yep, thats the one with me as well. IT takes some strength. I have found that using the guitar weight helps. But like you, I am spending time practising this as when it comes I am sure we will be thing "Easy" - hahahaha

Well... What evidence do you have to support that this is tremolo? I'd bet if you go and ask anyone formally trained in music, they would say this is vibrato, not tremolo. Heck, look it up on wikipedia or something, too. I'm not trying to argue or anything, it's just been that this is called vibrato by everyone but Leo Fender and some people influenced by him. And many people that call a vibrato a tremolo will admit that its proper name is a vibrato.

thats tremelo not vibrato. loads ofpeople make this mistake becaus vibrato sounds like vibrate.

discojames 2 years ago
pretty much but also no. people have been making this mistake so much now this is pretty much vibrato. (i know im a hypicorite)
picochat100 2 years ago
If you're basing this on the fact that Leo Fender incorrectly named his Stratocaster vibrato a tremolo, then you should look around for the millions of people who have mentioned that he mislabeled it.
Vibrato has been known as a change in pitch, tremolo a change in volume, and it's been that way for hundreds of years. Only until Fender mixed up their vibrato and tremolo did people start widely confusing the two.
discojames 2 years ago
im not basing it on that (i have no idear that that even happened) its a bit outlandish to say its been like that for hundreds of years when theres too little evidence to support it.
