Hmm I don't agree
I think I got a decent vibrato, and I wondered the same thing Kristian! So I just watched myself doing a vibrato. I bend up, down to root and then up again. it does depend on the finger as well, same goes for the place of the note. With my index finger, and most of the notes on the E and A string, I bend down for vibrato.
I tried the motion going up, root, down, but that resulted in very unstable vibrato, which is a logical result. You want your vibrato even, and that's way easier using the same motion every time, with the same distance, then two motions with the same distance!

"Nice playing. You got all the notes with the nice feel. Your problem is the vibrato. You're vibrating like classical players (moving finger left-right). You have to vibrate either up or down - depending on which string you are on. And that also shouldn't be from the finger but from the wrist. Your bends could also be more precise and faster executed. Still a good attempt for a passing mark."
Definatly true, this 'violin' style vibrato works very nicely for classical acoustic guitar, but not for electric. We want much wider vibrato, while ont he nylon strings the violin vibrato works fine
