  Cheers guys, it should be an easy introduction to the idea of using guitar melodies to create a verse / chorus approach to songwriting

  Brilliant Ben, these ".......made easy" are going to be great. Identifiable and just what a beginner needs to show their mates Thank you.

  When I watch you play this, you seem to have all the time in the world to add the vibrato, even your sustained notes seem to last forever before you put vibrato on, when I play it and try to add vibrato, each note is like watching cars go passed on a race track and me having to paint the number on the door laugh.gif

  Phil, I think that's one of the secrets to using vibrato. Instead of automatically vibrato-ing every note straight away, treat it as something that you choose to add after allowing the note its initial tone.
  
  But, of course, don't do it that way every time. Some notes can have instant vibrato, some notes can have delayed vibrato and others can have no vibrato at all. That's where it all comes down to the player's choice

  Thanks Ben, I don't seem to have time to allow the note to ring before adding vibrato As I said, it's like painting the number on the door of a race car as it blasts passed

  Yeah it's always like that to start with. At the moment all of your concentration is going onto where to put your fingers next etc. Eventually you'll be able to put your focus onto other aspects because things like finger shifting are much more natural. You'll be able to hang onto notes longer before shifting position because no thought is needed. When you have that extra time you can be more relaxed about adding vibrato.
  
  Staying with the race car analogy it's like the difference between double de-clutching on an old car or being able to use paddle shift. Less time is needed for gear changes so more time can be utilised elsewhere.
