It's that time of week you're all waiting for !!
Task 17: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey-3/ Yes, that's right ! Just 1 week after I gave this very Task to the Warrior group, you yourselves are now tackling it ! It's not because I've run out of ideas - it's because you're ready to do it !  And do you know the fantastic thing ? They've already done this so you can look at their takes and take advantage ! One piece of advice that always helped me with vibrato on bending was this: I found that pushing the bend to pitch and then adding vibrato by releasing the string slightly and bending back up was preferable to pushing the bend to pitch and then pushing higher for vibrato. The first method sounds more natural and even wheras the second method doesn't suit melodic, slow playing that much. For out of control, hard rock and metal soloing it works but in slower tempo stuff, you run the risk of sounding out of key.  Deadline is next Friday 25th May or I cut off your nose. Have a nice day

Greetings Disciples. I'm taking a stroll around The Temple and I thought I'd stop by and see how you were doing ?

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ May 25 2012, 04:41 PM)  Ok, but you understand that I have to take the nose anyway.  OK, it seems Zoom is trying to let me have a donnut. So I shal ltake it And I like my nose But I'm not satisfied with this take. It still hurts my fingers and I can't practice very long...

Well here's my take.
Upon listening back, it seems that the vibratos are very light. I also had to fight back the temptation to race right into a vibrato. |

But that's the only thing that one could criticise, the note pitch in places. Your vibrato is coming along nicely and I'm enjoying the journey !
