To get those notes sounding more beautiful a good vibrato technique is important to develop. This video covers 4 types of vibrato. It doesn't go into too much detail, the most important thing is to be aware that different methods exist. The best thing as a beginner is find which method works for you and stick with it for the time being.

@Huqe nice cpmment, thankyou so much

hey man nice vid. I gotta question, with the first type of vibrato ive always done it bending the string up like at 2:10 in the vid cause i can get a ten times better sound and its way easier than when i do it bending down, are you allowed to do it this way ? cause everywhere ive read says to bend the string up, but i thought it shouldnt matter cause both ways are doing the same thing except just in opposite directions? and the sound should be the same either way

[danbohane]

I tend to bend bottom three up to the ceiling and the top three down to the floor. But its up you, many great guitarist break the rules and therefore define a unique style. string 1 though can only bend up. I would definetely experiment with both techniques.

I have a problem with my bending... I am sort of a beginner...

When I bend a string , my right "bending" fingers will "pluck" the strings above the one I'm bending and make unpleasant sounds.

Any idea what my technique problem is?

I noticed this getting worse once my fingers developed heavy callouses, but this may not be related.

[danbohane]

try putting all your fingers or fingers 1 2 and 3 in arow on the same string ,evenly spaced one per fret. and then bend to the ceiling with the combined strength of more than one finger. see my bending vid. dont worry about the callouses ,this is normal ,it will just harden and give you a good grip on the string. hope this helps

@guitarnmusic1617

it is the same...just play it as you like...

i personally prefer to pull strings down...

but it's helpful @ the higher strings...you would run the risk of running out of fretboard...

That Eric Clapton video you've linked to is great! Thanks for letting us know about it.
