Hi guys,

there's a hundred topics about this but I didn't get the answer. Is someone writing about vibrato in the Wiki?

A simple question: I know that vibrato consists of many mini-bends put together in a way that they mix with the root note smoothly, producing a soft sound.

But if I do those mini-bends downwards, should I do them upwards, too? Or the other way around, if I do the mini-bends upwards, should I do them downwards, too? This would result in a bigger movement, that's for sure, but I'm not sure if it would improve the vibrato sound. How should I do it?

Overall I think the wrist is the main part.. And it definitely comes with practice as your left hand becomes more stronger and vibrato more effective as well. I have been practicing lessons for long and I feel its finally coming to me.

Check Marcus Lavendell for vibrato stuff.. he is just awesome!
