Hello Lester,
really good you put up this question.
I have the same problem with not knowing how to do it the right way.
Regarding Marcus Lavendell´s Vibrato Lessons, I´d say "wow!!! That´s really how one should do a vibrato. But how the heck can I get to this point". Regardless to say thats these lessons are stage 5 lessons, Marcus recommends to do the best to just copy his motions. And that doesn´t work for a semi-beginner like me.
I play for three years and studied Stetina Lessons and videos, and that Lavendell´s vibrato lesson are just as confusing.
It seems like it is one thing to be a virtuoso and another thing to try to copy a virtuosos motions.
Also Marty Friedman on Youtube could do no good to me. I had to laugh (desperately) as he said: if you know the note that you bend to you have a thousend ways to get there and add vibrato.
Seems like there is not only one way to get to the goal. But from what I´ve heard and read in this forum, there seems no way to get to the goal if you don´t find it yourself...and that is quiet frustrating.
I´m working on my vibrato for two years and I´m getting more demotivated and demotivated the more I practise.
Consider your sitting there and wait for the enlightenment that doesn´t come. And all the motions you do seem to be wrong because it sounds just awfull compared to the virtuosos.
I´m just soooo confused.
One sais I only do it with the fingers. Another guy sais, don´t do that, it sucks, use your wrist. The third one sais, don´t you dare to forget an elbow motion....that sure goes to the point where one means the only true vibrato can be done with your arm in plaster on a trampolin.
I hoped to find some lessons on guitarmasterclass and only found the Lavendell-Lessons which are far above my skill.
Does anybody know some lessons in a beginner stage with a little explanation to it?
