Vibrato #2of2 (Guitar Lesson TE-008) How to play

[Aleksej79ns]

Justin, take a look at this video :) on time about 1:50 and will also see that 3rd type of vibrato with free hand... :) Interesting, if You did not mentioned it, probably I would not see it also...

Youtube: Bee Gees, Tragedy, Video (can't paste link)

Thanks for all this lessons. :)

[DestroyTheHorcruxes]

You sir, are awesome. Thank you so much!

[mapc920730]

nice lesson but wtf was that about at the end?

[BobBurnnquist]

@mapc920730 the angry beaver?

[vockla]

Justin, how can I avoid that awful sound that appears from 1:36 to 1:40? It seems a collateral sound coming from the string next to the one you are vibrating. When the amp volume is high this side-effect sound is really noticeable. I try doing palm muting but of course I don't want to mute the string I am playing. When I try a wide vibrato is even worse. Is there any way to solve this?

[condormurio]

@vockla hi, i have the same problem, try this: you play the string you wanna bend but with your first finger you mute the string you want to play.good luck!

[o0oALZZo0o]

its hard for me because i have large fingers to small hand ratio :/

[GuitarProNZ]

I think Angus Young has one of the best styles of vibrato. He is awesome when it comes to vibrato.

[acetangent]

Great Video justine. I dont have anything else to say except THANK YOU for being such a good teacher and for not choosing to sell your lessons. Thank you so much.

[guitaroplayer]

What about the bb king style vibrato?

[Johnnyguitarboy]

sorry but your vibrato is kinda out of control. Listen to players like Tom Hess, Yngwie Malmsteen and Jason Becker. They have a perfect vibrato!

[tglstory]

Hi guys and Justin,

First of all thx for the great video always... I just had a quick question: how do you guys deal with the vibrato touching the other strings as in 9:00 and on? what are your methods of dealing with that? thanks!

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

@tglstory It depends on what kind of vibrato you are doing and what section of the guitar you are dealing with really. For say a neutral position like the 7th fret on the G with the most common type of vibrato (the one mentioned second here) you should be able to mute the strings below the G (ie the B and high E) with the rest of your first finger, so when you are positioning your finger to do a vibrato and you have your thumb over the top of the neck and your finger at the appropriate angle

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

@tglstory the underside of that first finger should be touching the strings behind the one you are fretting, if done correctly it mutes them and stops them ringing out. For the strings ABOVE the one you are fretting (in this example that would be the D, A, and low E) most of the time they should not be a problem as you are unlikely to nudge them with conventional vibrato, if you are doing a wide one however it is a possibility, in this situation I recommend muting these strings with your

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

@tglstory picking hand instead by resting either your palm or thumb on these bottom strings, this takes a bit more getting used to as at first you are likely to accidentally mute the string you are attempting to add vibrato too, keep at it though and soon enough you will have perfect smooth vibrato! Good luck.

[llDannyIl]

even though you say not to have straight fingers when doing it, i cant help but do that (well close to straight) >_< is it completely wrong, or as said is it just because every technique is different and my hands, well are kinda small ^_^

[oranjjjggg]

good lesson!

[Boogavoo]

Great lesson, many thanks for sharing!

[mindshell]

does it work on accoustic guitar?

[SuperMan583366237]

Awesome! I just wanna say:awesome! Vibrato used to be a hard part to me,but now ,it isn't any more!

[lumpichu]

With jumbo frets you also can just press the string, hehe

[AnUnexplainable]

do you leave your first and second finger on the string your playing? >.>

[Tranxilium1]

Hey Justin. Your lessons are fantastic!!! I´ve studied with different teachers and noone has explain me this things as good as you do.

Regards from Spain!

[thepike100]

What a strange arkward method you have invented. Your doing a "wobble". To do rock / blues vibrato, relax your whole arm and shake from the wrist using thum over neck as a pivot, either up OR down. Try watching hendrix / angus, ect....

[DantonTheWerewolf]

@thepike100 Sounds like you haven't seen part 1 :|

[xxxxneoxxxx]

@thepike100 Each player's vibrato technique might differ a bit. Hendrix vibrato isn't the same as SRV's or BB King's or Albert King's. He's showing beginners elementary info so they can take what they need and develop their technique.

[DanBurkhardtmusic]

I freakin love this guy!

[MangoldProject]

Thank you for the video. You're an inspiring teacher.

[spidrmage]

have you heard his cd? its amazing!

[StealthArt]

the last vibrato works really good to me! thanks (:

[curiouscat2009]

should every bend be done with your palm pivoted on the back of the neck or is it okay to have your palm off?

[trailblazer225]

I always did my vibrato where it was bending the string up and down but I was pushing with my fingers instead of my wrist twisting. It comes naturally that way and it sort of has a nice medium range, between classical and standard.

[NapalmNewt]

This is the best vibrato lesson on you-tube. Thanks so much for such a great lesson.

Most of the other videos either don't explain the different types or their technique is through their fingers.

[aw350meman69]

the "Free Vibrato" is the one that came natural to me, the wrist motion is COMPLETELY alien and feels so wrong to me, it actually boggles my mind to think how the standard wrist motion vibrato could occur naturally to anybody, although, maybe just as the free vibrato is simple to me, others may find it just the opposite. anyway,

thanks for the lesson justin.

[infinityjet]

zakk wylde has good vibrato i think

[TheRedButtons]

Nice lesson :)

Check out marcus lavendell his vibrato is killing me :P

[NoName01071992]

king of vibrato is and stays angus young :)

[GibsonKLO]

No way dude !

I say BB King.

[NoName01071992]

really!?? well depents on what you like more...im an ac/dc fan so:P well ever heart when angus playes a note and it seems like theres electric going trough it :O

[YonOtto]

King of vibrato Eddie Van Halen

[ACDCarchives]

it sure as hell does! nobody can imitate it!

[SnoopPog]

should there be some resistance on the frets or should it be glossy smooth, when i do vibrato the strings seem to scarpe on the frets

[MageMayu]

That free vibrato is how I tend to do it. It's actually like you use the weight of the guitar to push against, instead of pushing against your hand.

[mss403]

I can't believe B.B. King's vibrato is not mentioned. He has a free vibrato like the classical but with the wrist/arm motions. Done rapidly, it sounds amazing. it may be where clapton or vai derived theirs from.

[timgotta]

you dont know what your talking about. your a mongoloid idiot. THIS IS AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!

[ViolentRiC]

This is an instructional video. We don't need insults and mud-slinging.

[dotstudio22]

i agree

[busykidd]

thanx very much for the lesson!!!

[Azaahn]

One vibrato style I've discovered is to just press harder on the string

[mephistoschwartz]

WOW...you're right...and it's great...thanks!

[Azaahn]

yeah if you had a guitar with scalloped frets it might be easier but I'm not sure as I've never played one

[mephistoschwartz]

Yeah that occurred to me as well...but still I tried your idea and it's workable and useable...so thanks.

[shawnbourne]

Clapton's vibrato is just perfect... Sounds so great when he does it.

[GothFromSpace]

that was great justin thanks, you are a great teacher.

wierdly i find the free clapton-esque vibrato easier.

[smurfuletz]

you`re really a good teacher.hell,i`ve only started playing recently and i understood all the lessons i watched so that means something :) keep up the good work. cheers

[lad111380]

SHIT i can't do it!!!

[smartti1970]

Hey Justin, you'r realy the best, no where did I find the details about it all..

Everyone seems to show you what is vibrato as if you knew how to do it.

Great teacher, you show us what you know and like and show us what others use, without saying THIS is how you do IT!

I cant say thanks enough for these free lessons I couldnt afford.. Have to think of you for christmas ;-)

[1Lunatic1]

wow man, u'r the best! Really detailed and so helpful)

[Lavatain]

lol the bear at end of video

[drufovka4543]

lol is not a bear is a tanzania devil

[Lavatain]

do i care? it looks like a bear im not a nerd i didnt realize nob cheese

[SteveNroses]

lol tanzania devil

Tasmanian Devil

[backthisway]

Excellent examples of vibrato in early rock are Paul Kossoff, Robin Trower, Peter Green and Danny Kirwan .. amongst many may others.. watch recordings of 1974 and before first .. especially Trower.

[drunkpunk55]

I`ve always been doing my vibratos like that and my guitar teacher always bugs me about it... now I can say I do them like Clapton:D

[lukessummer]

Nice lesson mr sandercoe, Though I have to say that to my ears Angus Young and the late Paul Kossoff have/had, the finest Vibrato's ever heard on the Guitar.

[badobaduski]

haha angus young? zakk wylde has better vibrato than him

[lukessummer]

Yes, Zakk Wylde has a very good Vibrato, But Angus young is far superior!

[MARK505050]

malmsteen own all. lol

[JHLittleWing]

absolutely malmsteen has the best vibrato but i dont like his music

[TheGamingGuitarist]

Angus, Zakk, and Yngwie all have their own unique vibrato. You can't compare their styles. They're from completely different genres.

[ElectricTear20]

i like buckethead's : )

[XBLOODYTRIGGAX]

dats the way my idol syu from galneryus does his vibrato. the vibrato he was doin at the end the one he said bout him watchin vids

[m4jo]

is that important to push-center-pull while doing "standard" vibrato? I used to do push-center-push-center and pull-center-pull-center on thick strings....

[singletonthomas]

Just as an addition to the previous comments, B.B. King is also a master of that "free" vibrato school.

[Dan1loBr]

Steve vai uses the 3rd vibrato as well, just look up for 'for the love of god' :P

Nice lesson :)

[ferrarif40]

Vai has his own... he kind of combines classical with free vibrato and it moves in a circular motion. Can't really say if it makes a difference in sound but it works well for him

[tehm]

I mostly do the free style vibrato, because personally I feel it gives me the smoothest moving vibrato. I didn't know (or hadn't noticed) that Clapton does the same, nice to know, makes me want to pay more attention to those kind of things.

Thanks for the cool video.

[HELLVIEWluvPWG]

Speaking of vibrato masters, Marty Friedman has a pretty mighty vibrato. :D Thanks for the lesson, Justin.

[evilchrist213]

i love u justin for your nice vids...pls. donate to justin site now...:-)

[Matheus222]

Justin, i admire you! You are a great guitarist! And also a great person! You have a heart of gold!

[ThorXMK]

Clapton plays dangerously

[Topdoginuk]

Another great lesson from youTubes maestro, Justin Sandercoe!

Well done & thanks.

[apnumber8]

you are the man

[baksteen123]

whats the diffrence between vibrato and binding?

[wachman]

do you mean bending? because i have never heard of binding if that IS what you mean.

bending is just that; bending the string to reach a certain pitch. vibrato is the fluctuation in the pitch of the note you play. you do this by bending the string slightly back and forth quickly(or not so quickly). you can vibrato the played note either sharp or flat. hope that helped

[AcousticBlues1]

There is also the B.B. King style vibrato. I don't really know what category it falls in.

[doradoe091]

got it right in just a few minutes!

thanks justin!

[winoguitaro]

Hmm...makes sense!

[wareaglebabe11]

hmm, nice lesson, first comment and view woot! i was doing it wrong...
