Tips On How To Play The Classical Guitar : Classical Guitar Vibrato Effects

[rock91love]

banyak cakp ja...bodoh..(Stupid)

[Cliffs0fDover]

They get their experts from fucking toys r us representatives.

[jazzpsalti]

@DaNorthernLight it is possible with chords. The mechanics are different for each chord though. Not sure what video of mine I do it in, but also Michael Hedges and Bill Frisell know how to do it

[OttoVonGoenne]

seriously, are we just reading something we could look up on google? or was there a video we can watch to demonstrate what you're talking about? because the subtitles are BLOCKING the entire video! this sucks.

[MrOvercaffeinated]

@OttoVonGoenne You can turn closed caption off by clicking on CC in the right corner.

Nice to see a good teacher explaining basic classical guitar techniques. It'd be nice if electric players would try to appreciate the difference in techniques instead of making ignorant comments.

[WarriorOfTheHeavens]

@MrOvercaffeinated Yeah your right, and I just hate it when they think they are better because they play louder or faster.

[porsaspaisti]

Thanks for this :) It was useful.

[Fervorish]

ok... now play this note.... ok... now bend it every now and then... alright.. next song...

[wlkr12345]

Thanks a lot. All your videos are clear, right to the point, and very helpful.

[Xmalibur]

what a fag

[Vandatta1]

this is an advanced technique lol

[TMobile54]

What's the two different types of guitar strings and what is the difference?

[YeZhik5]

Nylon string guitars have thicker necks and sound more mellow, easier to hold chords, smooth and nice feeling, and easy to strum aswell as pluck

steel/bronze are more bright, happy sounding, nice sound chords more rigid, depends on your taste, some thing you can't play on either strings so it's always good to have nylon guitar steel stringed and electirc :)

[dwnbowden]

I couldn't care less

[davemuscato]

I haven't read all these notes, but "electric" vibrato does not shorten the string - the only way to do that is fretting higher on the neck. Vibrato on a guitar, classical-style or electric-style, is achieved by increasing tension to the strings by *stretching* them, not making them shorter.

[TravuhsWree]

Yeah wtf, it tightens the tension thus increasing pitch... don't listen to everything this guy is saying...

[Rexicano]

Vibrato should FIRST be taught as a slow vibrato. Doing it fast is skipping the subtle aspect that is all important. Also; vibrato is often better when it comes just a moment AFTER the note is played...not at the exact instant the note is sounded. If Vibrato is taught at first while playing Chromatic scale exercises then it prevent one from gripping the neck too tightly with the thumb; impossible to grip too tightly and have a slow expressive vibrato. So; good as a beginning technique.

[NarcissusEmbodied]

thank you! before this video i was trying to vibrato by rapidly bending and releasing like you showed first. the second technique lets you vibrato a lot faster. how does that work though? you're not altering the string length at all...are you?

[TruNikkaz]

i need a video that further explains this vibrato technique over numerous frets

[diosmio99]

All the manuals say you MUST keep the thumb in the centre of the guitar neck (right handed players)at all times, presumably to give you maximum arch of the fingers. I've never mastered this, it's like you're pushing the guitar away all the time, what do you think maestro?

[noonisweety]

thanks 4 the tips ;)

[bodymindfitness]

Thanks dude for this tip.Philip

[lethallens]

thanks!

[45cutie54]

Thankyou!!

[Brandon0623]

vibrato isn't really an advanced technique, that would be more like legato or shifting, and you can't use vibrato anywhere or will be out of context, for instance in rennassaince or baroque music you would never use vibrato

[elementboi51]

can i be a douchebag now?

[BlackLionFilms]

yes

[TheSorrowness]

@BlackLionFilms ROFLROFL best comment ever XD

[friedonions]

isntit hard as fuck to move it this way?

[dustyw79]

While it is useful to know this technique for vibrato, it is still very useful to use the vertacle "bluesey" vibrato for a different effect as it does have a different sound from the "classical" vibrato. The pitch of the classical vibrato oscilates to either side of the fundamental pitch. The "bluesey" one only raises and comes back to the fundamental pitch. Also, the "blusey" version works more effectively than its counterpart when in the lower positions of the guitar

[iIIuminutti]

i looked it up, and it turns out I'M the douchebag. i never really played classical guitar enough to know the difference

[bonesigh]

...and you were somehow expecting to play classical guitar like an electric guitar? by all means, go ahead and fail.

[lemonshank]

This IS WRONG this dipshit is using his arm, vibrato is supposed to be a motion that only use the wrist, using the arm takes all the warmth and sweetness away from the note, look at his arm it shouldnt move that much if hes doing it right

[sammygUK]

bending the string up and down (the "blues way") DOESN'T change the length of the string, it changes the tension! - the only time you can change the length is on a fretted instrument.

Anyway, this guy doesn't even mention the difference between "wrist" and "arm" vibratos...

[LedZepTheWho]

*better after watching this

[LedZepTheWho]

thanks. my technique is way better

[madtiger111]

Very good teaching.

[bonesigh]

please post a video response so i be "impressed" at how amazing you are at classical guitar, then i might believe you. show me your "better" classical guitar vibrato, or just stfu.

[illuminutti]

I don't entertain douchebags.

[bonesigh]

okay, you win. you're the king of trolling youtube lol. you can reply and have the last word, like i know you will.

[iIIuminutti]

i guess that makes you the king of douchebags

[Alasdairo]

This is a better way jason, on any fret. And 'automatic' vibrato may be uncontrolled and could cause unwanted tension in the left hand.

[drumsmth9]

Thanks =)

[jasonwaite2]

Good but incomplete advice.This type of vibrato is used only at certain frets while the other type is used ar others.

[johancomstedt]

Why make things so complecated? Just play. Vibrato will come automatically as you play alot of pieces.

[freakypankistaoo4]

i agree. you don't have to practice it at all. but yeah, his technique would be useful.

[Rexicano]

For many people it does not come automatically. He explains it well but could add that you need to be relaxed in your body, shoulder, and elbow. You can see he is in the video. Many guitarists lack vibrato and thus lack subtlety. Rare is the guitar student I've had that could play a chromatic scale much less with vibrato. I work on that right away. But vibrato needs to come off as a natural part of the music, not contrived.

[johancomstedt]

Rexicano:I never in my life practice vibrato. I think it's much more importent to use my ears than to think about the technicall aspect of vibrato. If you think to much about technique the music will suffer. Listen to my vibrato and learn dude.

[Rexicano]

So why post here? This guy obviously BELIEVES in discussing it. Saw your videos; you are an average player but seem to have gotten your arrogance from Yngwie malmsteen. Also; your vibrato that you do use is not good on the Dowland piece. Since the ears are listening to the hands; seems the hands are something to think about. I shudder when Classical musicians start talking like California surfers, Dude.

[johancomstedt]

I,m sorry that I offended you, It wasn't my intention. Callifornia surfers he he, Long away from Norway. If you are a teacher maybe you can show me how to play the Dowland piece with vibrato. You must be a wery good player. Wit deepest respect-JC

[fridrikur]

Great. I never wondered about arching the left hand and leaving a space between the hand and the neck. Useful help. Thank you!

[gokhan1507]

it is useful thanks

[RSammy]

Useful. Thanks man!
