This is impossible! XD

I'm playing the Neoclassical 3 step lesson- intermediate part now, some parts are a little sloppy yet but I have 2 major problems.

1. I can't even go NEAR the level of your vibrato. It's so perfect and i just can't see myself playing it like that. When i try to vibrate so deep and stretch the string so far up and down (and not naturally, i just push the string up and down trying to imitate what you are doing) the sound cuts.. are there lesson dedicated to learn these kind of vibratos?

2. I can't get the sound you get out of your guitar playing this song.. I'm using a whole different guitar than your's, but maybe the amplifier's settings is what makes the difference?

Thanks D:

ok, I understand you're a bit frustrated now smile.gif But remember that it takes some time to develop a controlled vibrato. it's hard to say what's wrong without hearing you play, but it's seems like you're a little tense and that you don't keep a steady motion with your left hand/fingers. I've made few vibrato lessons here.

Yeah, I think it's mostly about the amp (I use a PODxt, btw). But some of the tone comes from the fingers. What amp do you use?

I have a basic Fender 25R amp, and i have 3 pedals:
Ibanez Echo\Delay, Ibanez Automatic Wahwah and a Digitech Metal Master pedal (my favotire:D)

I'm using the Metal Master on a low level and the Delay pedal while playing this part...

and i'll learn these vibrato lessons.. smile.gif
