hey mate!
Yes it's definitely a very common problem, but vibrato is in essence a very easy technique to master. Couple of months of metronome practice will set you calm as far as vibrato goes. Compare that to other techniques and you will see that it is really not too much time. The most important thing about vibrato that you should realize is that it is basically very very similar to bending. Vibrato is nothing more than consecutive bends. When you bend the string you do it from the wrist - same goes with vibrato, just repeat the bends. Of course doing many bends at once can put a lot of strain on your fingers, so vibrato should be practiced very slowly at first, and with metronome. Try to take regular breaks so you don't hurt your fingers. In some time the strain is gone and doing bends from the wrist become effortless. It's all a matter of technique. Doing vibrato from the wrist is not the only way to do it of course, but it gives best control, and very smooth natural tone. When vibrating the strings you always do bends in tempo with the backing track, I usually to eight note triplets (3 bends per click) vibrato. Just make a small system, and practice vibrato slowly on every fret on the fretboard using every finger. The technique will come very soon. Also check out this video of mine that I've made some time ago for Toroso, and it concerns bending. I hope you find it useful mate. Let me know if you need anything else, I'm glad to help! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Rar is very usual way of packing (after zip) so shouldn't be a a big problem. As I said, if you come across any more problems with this archive, let me know and I will try to come up with a way to provide you with the source file. Cheers

Kristian has a good point. Vibrato is an effect applied to note, by varying the pitch. As an effect, there are rules where and how to use it. However, one must learn how to create good vibrato, and then learn those "rules" or use (for example, on longer note at the beginning of a bar, faster, slower etc.), or even break some rules in order to create something unique.
So, vibrato is a skill that needs to be practiced and used a lot in order to sound good. I've found that the best way to increase vibrato skill is through practice with the metronome. After practice came a period of polishing up vibrato during play, but without practice, it won't sound that good. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hi Ivan, I am prqactising you Gary Moore Lesson Lvl 3, and wanted some clarification on bending vibrato. I just watched your video response. You mentiones that once u achieve the pitch of the bend, the vibrato is applied higher p[itch than the band pitch...if u know what i mean. I want to "Nail" this piece and need to work on vibrato while bending.
