Have had the same thought 🙃 would take me a few more than two, though 🧐

Correct. I had this plan about 5 years ago.... :(

TheseusTitan, So how do classical guitar players achieve it, given that classical guitars do indeed have frets? Are they the exception to the rule? Or are classical guitars not really considered classical string instruments because they're a relatively recent addition and not part of the orchestra?

@@abrigospardos The answer is classical guitarists seldom are ever playing slow enough to use vibrato. Also, when using your finger like a pendulum (the classical way of obtaining vibrato), there is also lateral movement which does create vibrato. Get an actual example of a classical guitarist and watch how they move their hand. It may look as if they are using a classical method of vibrato but look for lateral movements. Sometimes you can see the entire neck move up and down. Also, listen close for the vibrato. Is it even there? Sometimes the hand moves but there really isn’t much vibrato. It can be deceiving.

@@TheseusTitan Thanks for responding so promptly! I've been looking for examples of classical guitar vibrato by actual classical guitarists on KZfaq and I have concluded that: A) vibrato in classical pieces is very sparsely used, it comes after the note is picked and is typically very subtle (to the point of being almost imperceptible sometimes); and B) tremolo, rather than vibrato, is much more widely used as an expressive technique in classical guitar. So, I agree with you. Thanks again for your response!

Hey Mark, that is a really interesting comment, thanks for posting that! Mike is the stuff! Such a fantastic player!

Couldn´t agree more. What I love about him is that he doesn´t do the usual Metallica, GnR, Floyd and Zeppelin tutorials. Not that there´s anything wrong with them, but he broadens one´s taste in music with blues, rockabilly, indie, goth and soul. Very educational and a nice persona. He´s the only one I have actually decided to follow. My guitar "hero." If I had the money and time, I´d pay for face to face classes.

Angus Young?

This was fantastic as expected! My favorite section was 19:20 to 1959

@@CC-qb9sm Hey CC! I have horribly lame vibrato, this technique has been the only real tough one for me to get a handle on. Maybe 2021 will be the breakthrough year! Later man!

@@kerryfromaj9032 - Kerry!! It’s worth the effort, I’ve been really focused on on relearning my vibrato technique for a good bit now, I used that vertical finger vibrato (Second one Adrian demonstrated) for many years, it was the one I picked up naturally. I wish I would have dialed in the wrist shake much sooner, but I’ve been working on it for a bit now and videos like this are pure gold. Again, it’s very much worth the effort! Great to hear from you my friend!

Check out Danny Kirwan.

Michael Schenker. John Sykes

Zakk Wylde!

I don’t

I think it still comes and goes, right?

haha yes, the intro seems quite polarising - some people seem to love it, others not so much. This video seemed to work best with a more gentle start, but will still use the intro from time to time.

Yes, or Run run run. Cant find any VU lessons except for Pale blue eyes

Yes, great song. Will think about it, would love to do more Velvets

Yea, he does!!

Yes, I probably should have mentioned his name here - unique and amazing vibrato! I did talk about it in my Jigsaw Puzzle Blues lesson I did a little while back.

Yes, I debated whether to include something on that technique. It's definitely an interesting idea. Not very common but obviously works great for people like Clapton, but I never really got on with it personally. Might try again at some point.

@@acpg I have not perfected it myself either, but it has a great sound and a great visual intensity. The trick is to totally let go of the back of the guitar

Release and bend back, three times, rock on 🤟🎸

the two tips i've heard were 1. like adrian said using your hand on the bottom of the neck as a pivot point for leverage on the string and 2. bend with multiple fingers very close together so you effectively use 2-3 fingers worth of strength, instead of one (tom bukovac). i'm new so just passing along the tips i heard haha

I briefly had a student who was about my age. He'd been playing 30 years and came to me because he "lost" his ability to bend up to a vibrato. He used to play with bands and stood up a lot while playing, but had quit doing that and was seated all the time with very bad posture (slouched way down over the guitar). It was an easy fix. I just recommended he sit with better posture and he had it rocking by the end of the lesson. It can be little things like that giving you problems. Otherwise it's tricky and just takes a ton of practice. If you've been playing a long time you may have learned some bad habits like pushing up with your fingers instead of rotating your forearm, or the posture thing. You might just kinda start from scratch and relearn it. You can do it, though. My problem for years (I was self-taught) was I didn't get it right away, and got impatient. I formed two bad habits. One, I would bend down on the G string instead of up. I worked out a pretty good vibrato that way but was hopeless on the B and high E strings. So I made another bad habit: gravitating toward strats and using the trem arm for B and high E string bend/vibratos. And that's okay, I guess. Whatever works. But I had to scrap all that and really buckle down to learn how to do it "right". I don't think there's really a wrong way as long as you're not injuring yourself, but the "right" way is more versatile for sure.

Saddest Chord interesting! I do bend w my fingers as opposed to rotating my wrist. I’m completely self taught and a competent enough player, but am sure I’m missing a lot of these little basic tricks. Thanks!

Stainless steel Frets make it a hell of a lot easier it's like taking the elevator instead of the stairs

Maybe it's a Chibson!!!

j dubbleya 71 No, not the correct but width to be one.

haha yes, had it a couple of years though and used it in quite a few previous vids. Wasn't cheap...but I'm getting along just fine with just the one kidney...

@@acpg Good for you Adrian,I'll start worrying when/if I see a dialysis machine on the background though!!!

@@acpg You obviously agree with the old adage 'Les Paul is more Paul'.
