I want to add a comment here. I know Chad titled the video “the right way” but the beauty is there really is no correct answer. Don’t be afraid to find your own voice and experiment with what works best for you. These are merely the techniques I enjoy employing

[@Iraqveteran8888]

Yeah you’re right we don’t know anything

[@kekistanimythology5833]

Yeah! First time I got an answer from you guys. Greetings from Germany, man! Don't give up the 2nd. Oh, and blues rocks...If you an say that.

[@ashleystephens325]

Awesome Video You ROCK you and Chad keep up the good work

[@matthewf1979]

Took me years to nail that pull-off bend/vibrato. Multiple strings with a wild 2 step bend is another hard one that's great to mix in on the wild stuff. Great playing Eric! The tone is AMAZING!

When I told my guitar teacher that I wanted to shred, he told me that anybody can shred if they put the time into learning patterns and techniques, but not everybody can play a slow lead like David Gilmour and the Blues greats. Fast is impressive but guys like BB King, Gilmour, and Hubert Sumlin... You feel that shit.

[@davecarsley8773]

He's absolutely correct

[@skullstjohn]

Eric, what a great tone. You nailed the Duane Allman, Dickey Betts and Leslie West thing. Super enjoyable video.

[@septimuspugwash6991]

Some solid tips there, dude - and I enjoyed having my ears bent by that tone :)

[@ronjjohnson3569]

Sir, I really love how you keep the camera up close to the fret board. Man you rock. Love the video.

What’s up Eric. Greetings from Asheville , nc

[@matthewf1979]

Superb technique Eric. That tone and vibrato are very similar to another Eric. Beano? God?

[@Iraqveteran8888]

Funny story my parents were a couple of pot heads and named me after Eric Clapton. Weird that I actually ended up playing...lol

[@matthewf1979]

@@Iraqveteran8888 That's pretty cool imo. My parents were potheads too. Dad was a musician and he loved EC and Jimi. Elvis too. Keep on rocking man!

[@CompaTre]

You are really cool Man!

What’s the signal chain? Pedals, amp,speaker, mic, etc ? Be cool to see in the notes.

[@Iraqveteran8888]

1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, Vertex Boost, Vertex Ultraphonix, Spaceman Titan II, Strymon Flint

[@Iraqveteran8888]

Running all that into a 1968 Fender Super Reverb

[@dshteynvil]

You use the light strings right?

[@Iraqveteran8888]

10-46 usually, on Stratocasters I like to run 11-46 tuned down 1/2 step. I like to keep the bass strings slinky

[@PaulLebow]

Hmmm - vibratos are not no unique between players - though a few signature styles BB King and Clapton.. This is not really a lesson on how to learn vibrato but examples of vibrato once you already know how.
