@invinciblesupahuman Just for you ;)

Nice framed Piano Chords poster in the backround..

[jsd1982]

@GruntofAction Thank you! That was maddeningly unhelpful :-P

[cfg1991]

you have great vibrato technique!! any tips??

[jsd1982]

@cfg1991 Learn to vary your vibrating speed. Vibrate the string with a lot of force, almost overkill. A light touch WILL NOT do it and will make it just sound annoying and weak. Vibrato is meant to be noticed. Don't shake your finger forwards and backwards like moving between frets. Use your wrist as an anchor point and shake your entire hand. The best vibrato will usually NOT come from your first finger but instead your second or third. Use the first two fingers as support.

@marcifer69 I did too 12 years ago, so I did. What's stopping you?

0:03 I was like: oh, another sad cover...volume low...etc

0:13 I was like O_O OMG! Sounds perfect, and you did it PERFECT!

Man, I loved it.

[MisterBlinkyTheGreat]

You're playing is godlike compared to me O.o How do you get the chords to sound so clear?

[GruntofAction]

@jsd1982 Ha, I only knew what it was because I have that same poster in my music room. Helps for keyboard stuff.

wow dude that sound on the solo is amazing!! great job! very very nice sound

[cfg1991]

@jsd1982 great, thank you! and what do you do about the strings next to the one you are performing the vibrato on to keep them from making noise, especially during wider vibrato??
