hey justin you really have helped me improve overall my guitar techniques thanks man because of your teachings i feel like a discovered a whole new world of sound

never knew there are so many variations! thanks

The Master of vibrato is Dave Gilmour. It's not just vibrato. It incorporates vibrato with bending and it is so intonated that it follows perfect half/whole step changes in pitch. On Shine On You Crazy Diamond he's making 3 whole step bends! Starting on an E and bending up to an A. And perfect pitch. Then comes back down just as smoothly as he went up and then ends the phrase with perfect vibrato.

Wow. I have been struggling with vibrato for longer than I care to admit. I just could never do it. After practicing this pivot technique for a few hours the light finally went on for me and now I am very happy to be able to do a somewhat passable vibrato. I know it will only get better from here. My confidence in my playing has skyrocketed as a result. Its impossible to overstate my appreciation for this and your other video lessons. Thank you, Justin. Now on to vibrato bends.

Thank you Justin,This is a big thing i wanna know on guitar playing.

another wonderful lesson; thanks

I was never a whammy bar user until I got a tennis elbow. Now whammy bar is the only way to make vibratos and has become somewhat integral part of my playing also with bends.

Thanks so much, Justin! Loved your explanations! I found them very clarifying!

I have noticed that Lee Anderton does the whole guitar neck wave thing all of the time. I sit here thinking 'you're not doing vibrato captain!' Nice lesson, thanks.

I really need help with this, thank you!

I get that scraping sound out of the wrist method. I've been working on it for weeks and I just can't get speed and it fades off very quickly. I have no problem with the classical style.

Dude don't know what mic you are using but that was the sharpest sound I've had off a youtube video in a long time.t

Vibrato Is an interesting topic because almost every great player has their own unique vibrato. For example Justin mentioned Clapton's way which to me is a more wide slower vibrato but then you have BB King who had a incredibly fast almost buzzing bee type of vibrato. Then you have David Gilmour who is sort of Inbetween he does his vibrato the standard way but his is generally slow with a delicate touch.

Clean that fretboard Justin 😁!

SRV played an aggressive neck vibrato up and down. 🤘

Kevin Shields took the vibrato arm to an entirely new dimension with the rather unique tremolo system in Fender Jaguars and Jazzmasters. Justin, have you ever played one of those with some reverse reverb à la My Bloody Valentine?

Bless you man :)

I'd like to see one on the different bend vibratos. Blues, Metal differences-Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Clapton, Angus, Jake E Lee. How to practice for different genres

You know, you are doing the world a lot of good with these videos. Some people make bombs for a living, some people drop bombs and some give the orders to use the bombs. And then some people just want to teach the whole world how to play music. There are only two kinds of people out there, devils and angels.

GOOD TEACHING SIR GODBLESS YOU FROM INDIA MY NAME SUBRATA NAYAK

Hi Justin, thanks so much for all of your videos which I have learned so much from. I wanted to make a request if I may... I searched all of your videos and I couldn't find a tutorial for "Always on my mind" more the Elvis version as I want to play it for my mum who is a life long fan, nothing against Brenda Lee version its absolutely beautiful.. Would be amazing if you could do it. 🙂

Please instruct us on keeping a wammy bar in tune. Please, Please.

Thank you Mr Norm Macdonald, rip 😢

Great vid as always, thanks! What kind of vibrato you'd say Steve Hackett uses? Of course, it's his signature tunes that come to minds immediately, like Spectral Mornings, but also some of his work on Genesis' albums as well (think of solos in Supper's Ready "Ikhnaton and Itsacon and Their Band of Merry Men" section and suchlike). Curious to know what you reckon, thanks!

how do i stop technique two from hurting? when i pivot my hand, it nudges it into the guitar neck and hurts and i cannot wrap my head around it!

I have a question: Beside guitar and ukulele do you play on other instruments too?

Thanks- )

Please do a lesson on darlin by houndmouth

Another light bulb switched on. Thanks Teach!

Could you do a lesson on eric Clapton motherless children from 461 ocean boulevard

I simply cannot pivot my wrist around my thumb fast enough, even playing air guitar. HOW, how do you practice this??

Maybe someone can answer me this. When doing vibrato, what happens to the notes and pitch? I know the pitch goes higher, but isn't there a mathematical way to understand the rate and depth? For instance, to make a pleasant vibrato, the rate of the frequency has to go twice or four times as fast? If you do it three times as fast (like a triplet), it might sound good or maybe weird/unpleasant? I am just trying to understand how to make great sounding vibrato from a theoretical standpoint, not just from ear and instinct.

i dont know why but i feel very weird to me vibrato to down , even there are sometimes like the strings are crying but when i do up vibrato i feels so natural and stable , i dont know why ( i think maybe because i I use the knife with my left hand ) but most of turorials teach down vibrato so i dont know what to do

BB KING vibrato?

study vibrato is like reaching your own tone

Wait, did you say the string is not supposed to touch the wood of the neck? 5:01 Have I been playing wrong all these years? I know I press too hard still, but am I supposed to be pressing so lightly that the string under my finger never touches wood?

Do you do vibrato on acoustic guitars? Or its mostly for electric guitars?

@justinguitar how do you avoid getting noise from the other strings, especially the one above. It happens for me even doing vibrato and is worse with string bends.

Nobody doesn’t vibrato like Paul Kossoff.

Yeah I don't get the whole waving the neck around thing it's doesn't really do anything and looks kind of silly to me.

my thumb is to small to get a hold and pivot

Norm Macdonald has really let himself go.

bending vibrato is too hard I still can't doing it
