Clapton Vibrato - A Legendary Technique

[@rollinntumblin]

Excellent lesson. Thanks so much!

Thank you Andy this is so well presented, great tone too, what are you playing through?

[@AndyCharlesMusic]

Hi Mark. I'm using the Line 6 HX stomp for this video. I'm simply using a Deluxe Reverb model with a fairly flat tone and a little reverb. The dirty sound is a Hiwatt 100 with Tube Screamer > Klon.

And thanks for the kind words

@@AndyCharlesMusic thanks Andy, I’ve struggled to get this technique right so thanks. Have you thought of doing more Clapton related stuff, I’ve been a Clapton fan for years mostly the late 80s 90s time, the tone of his fender twins and Soldano for me were his best.

@@markwilliams8533 I'd more than happy to put somethings like that in the works. I agree that his tone in that period was incredible.

Great lesson, thanks! How do you bent-note vibrato?

[@AndyCharlesMusic]

You mean get the vibrato after you've bent the note a step or half step?

[@lucienne66]

@ Yes. Or even a minor 3rd.

​@@lucienne66 ​ Using this vibrato technique, it would be pretty much impossible to do a pitch bend and then vibrato. You'd have to do a tradition pitch bend and then put your vibrato on while holding that pitch. I can do another lesson on bends in general if that would clear some things up.

@@AndyCharlesMusic That would be great, thank you!!
