Denes, I joined to watch your Blues vibrato video. My index finger tends to get sore using this wide vibrato. Is this normal at first?

I'll try to answer too if possible..

Yes, it's perfectly normal, and it's important to make regular pauses when practicing any type of vibrato, specially a wide one. Be careful, and first focus on doing vibratos in a vicinity of a 12th fret, since the tension is lowest there.

Oddly enough, I can do it much better closer to the nut. There is more grip down there. I can sometimes pull this off to sound like Denes, but man, my index finger hurts! This is what makes me think I may be going about this wrong.

Let me claify, I am a pro and I have an expressive vibrato in other styles, but this Hendrix/SRV wide vibrato with the index is painful for some reason.
