Hey there! The take was very good, especially if we consider that it is the first of its kind from you I would focus a bit more on the pitch and overall roundness of the notes. With time, you'll be able to do it like a pro! Congrats once again!

Hey this is not bad at all ! Well done for taking the step

To help you with making the vibrato sound more in tune, try to treat it the same way as if you were performing a eries of string bends. Between each bend you would return the note to its original starting pitch before bending again. This is all that vibrato is really.. a series of pitch modulations. So if you do vibrato but keep the string pushed slightly sharp then it will sound out of tune. Try to return the string back to its original pitch during vibrato, between each bendy vibrato-y bit



Here - you've inspired me to create a new post about vibrato !

Good job! Great for the first time! You can focus on bending a little more and make sure you can get it perfectly on pitch! Also timing is a little shaky! Good job tho!

hey man! if this is your first step on both techniques I must say that you are on the right track! This sounds good! Both techniques need more practice, mostly the bending because you have to gain more strength with your fingers. So keep on working in this way and you'll take your playing to a new level soon!

what amp or soft emulator are you using for your guitar tone? (you can send me a PM with the answer).
