Also, a question about index bending. How should I practise this? I've developped a quite strong vibrato on 2+ fingers, but I am really struggling to keep it powerful with just the index finger. I also find it very hard to practise it in the way you do it. you know, the twisting way... Hope I explained it well enough. Thanks, and best regards.

Thanks for the request, btw About vibrato with the index finger. The wristing way is definitely the best way to go (at least in my opinion), because it's hard to get the strength you need with just bending with your finger. Practice it slow and start with very small bends (micro bends) and make sure your thumb is placed on the upper side of the neck. I know there's been lots of questions lately about vibrato here at the forum. Maybe there's an interest for an absolute-beginner-lesson on this subject? I'll be happy to make one You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Marcus - how about you start a new topic on the main board saying you will cover this topic, and ask if people have got any specific problems? More people will notice it and you can get an impression of what the biggest question marks are. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
