Today you're going to learn EXACTLY how to master vibrato on guitar. I’ll teach you exactly how to get that amazing guitar vibrato sound in 10 steps. I’ve created this step-by-step tutorial so that you can develop awesome vibrato. Here are the 10 steps:
Step 1: Fretting hand position: I’ll show you exactly how to hold your fretting hand in order to play thick and wide vibrato on guitar that sounds so killer!
Step 2: Pivot Motion and Fulcrum point: To play guitar vibrato with power and ease, there is a simple way to get all the power and control you need to make the vibrato sound better.
Step 3: Picking Hand Position: This is a big vibrato tip to make sure then when you play vibrato on the guitar, it’s clean and without any noise. This is a big secret that most guitar players don’t know… You will one of the few who do know.
Step 4: Vibrato Depth: This is one of the most important aspects of this vibrato guitar lesson. I’ll show you how to get the right depth and more importantly, to keep that depth consistent (another huge tip for mastering vibrato on guitar). I show you exactly how to do this.
Step 5: Intonation: It’s critical that when you make the vibrato motion on your guitar, that you bend the strings exactly to the same place each repetition of the string bend and then release the string all the way back down to the starting point. This is what separates great vibrato from mediocre vibrato. I show you exactly how to do this.
Step 6: Vibrato Speed: Like the vibrato depth and intonation, the speed of the vibrato is very important to make it sound great. I’ll show you exactly what to do.
Step 7: Consistency Check - This part of the guitar vibrato tutorial is important because it’s where we check if the previous steps are being done correctly in order to master your vibrato. I’ll show you how to do this.
Step 8: Synchronize The Vibrato Speed To The Song’s Tempo: This will become a key part of practicing vibrato. I’ll show you how to practice vibrato on guitar.
Step 9: Making Appropriate Musical Choices With Your Vibrato. Of course, you can choose what sort of vibrato you like best. I’ll show you some criteria the pros use to determine what sort of vibrato to use in different musical situations.
Step 10: The final step in this vibrato guitar lesson is: Vibrato Application.
There are many different ways to apply and use vibrato such as: bent note vibrato, delayed vibrato, rubato vibrato, life-support vibrato, etc.) I’ll teach you all of these.

I have also explained this to other guitar players cuz it makes perfect sense musically. Music is a very very emotional passion of mine. I want to feel every note, every cord, every progression, every song I play wether I’ve written it or I’m covering it and anyone hearing me I want them to feel it too and the best way to accomplish this is to understand the mechanics of how to do so.

Very good vibrato lesson and very well structured! I just like to add that also the vibrato depth (and not only the vibrato speed) is sometimes pretty crucial to the musical situation and the note you do the vibrato on. Otherwise it can sound out of tune. So a half step vibrato which isolated can sound pretty cool is not always the best choice.

thank you so much for the lesson... i had a concern my natural tendency to vibrato is bending the string upwards rather than downwards this is how i have developed my vibrato over 10 years and i have good control at it i am completely self taught so i just wanted ask is there anything wrong with how i do it and wether or not i should learn doing vibrato downwards...once again thankyou so much youre lessons have really added to my playing

One of the hands-down, most important elements of guitar phrasing is vibrato. If you want to be able to play as expressively as you can, you must know how to make your guitar 'sing.' Vibrato helps you do that. Thanks for the lesson on how to play better vibrato!

Tom would you please comment on how tight or loose the finger (and hand) should be when trying to vibrato. Not much info is out there on this. You make it look effortless without much tension in the finger conducting the vibrato. For me it is much effort in trying to vibrato. Thanks!!

Very cool video. I need to work a lot on my vibratos. The only thing I am missing in the video is how to make vibrato in more than one string at a time. I feel like I can handle one string, but vibrato in power chords seems too difficult. By the way, another idea for a similar 10-step video: bending. That would be super cool.

Love the video. So important to hear these 10 techniques. Is there a trick to perfecting circular vibrato? I see this with Steve Vai and Andy Timmons' playing and it seems so right for the context at the time. Sometimes I need something more subtle too and circular does it. But it feels clunky because my normal vibrato's straight line bend path.
@tomhessmusiccorp
@tomhessmusiccorp 4 жыл бұрын
I don't do circular vibrato. If I want a softer sound, I simply do a slower and more narrow regular vibrato (the style I showed in this video).

One thing I don't quite understand about the fretting hand: in order to do the fulcrum, your hand needs to be placed a little bit further down the neck than I'm used (maybe a fret or two towards the nut). Typically I play with the base of my hand right under the frets I'm playing, like you would for a bar chord so that your index finger is straight. So, should I transition to the "fulcrum position" for most of my lead playing and then transition to a "straight position" when it's necessary for chords, or do I just get into the fulcrum position when I'm about to do vibrato? Thanks.

Tom can you comment on how tight or loose the finger conducting the vibrato should be. I find my finger and hand is tense to try and make it happen. You look effortless. Thank you!
@tomhessmusiccorp
@tomhessmusiccorp 4 жыл бұрын
Vibrato uses more tension than playing regular notes for sure. That said, the more experienced you become, the better you get at controlling tension in the rest of your body (while your finger is doing vibrato) and the faster you relax the tension in your fretting hand after you apply vibrato.

this has always been an issue ! Key for me has been starting slowww. Sometimes my mind wants to go warp speed and get that zakk wylde style, my hand says ya no , happening, not gonna! I think for me it means fretting hand strength needs to be much more stronger id much rather have damn near perfect and tasteful vibrato than shred speed . Still a work in progress

Correct. Learn the motions (and the sound) slowly first. Then speed it up.

Bent note vibrato is really difficult to do right I have found. I have seen many instructors teach it as going up to the bent note and then going flat and back to the bent note. Although I know here its actually going up sharp, back down flat, back and forth. Controlling this and keeping it in tune evenly is tough!

Yes, it's tough, but anyone can learn it (and do it well). It just takes practice and doing the things I say in the video :)
