If you have any questions or anything you want me to talk about in detail. Please post it here -Marcus Well, if it's absolute beginners stuff, then you could talk about the relationship between vibrating the string up and down in a controlled manner. And also you could explain something about bending a note upwards and then adding vibrato and same for bending the string downwards and then adding vibrato. You touched it in you vibrato lesson 3, in the main video, I think. But exactly the thing about which direction, up or down, you are bending the string in. Cuz we all know that you like to bend downwards from time to time. Just a thought, I'm not a beginner on this point, but those were some of the things I struggled with back then.

But I cannot make it somehow...do you have to do it clockwise or anti-clockwise or does this actually matter ?However it doesn't really sound nice when I am trying to do it - other Vibratos are fine though but I'd love to handle some Vai Style elements Cheers You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thanks! +1 for this - an area of study for me too at the moment - I would also be interested in thoughts you have on speed of vibrato - I tend to synch my vibrato to the tempo of the song for certain bends, and if I do it in 16ths it sounds too slow and awful, so recently I am aiming for something like 16th triplet kind of speeds - wonder if you have anything to add to that ...

Also how to get fast vibrato because i like the sound of it you know how guys like you and yngwie do it i think vai does it as well.

You had this one lesson where you said that you first had to wait and then do the vibrato. I use it in my playing quite a lot now and I was hoping you have more of that kind of tips EDIT: But maybe that has too much to do with phrasing... ah well... I posted it now anyway.
