The anchoring around the neck really helped me get better sounds. I was using the floating technique

five minutes in. I've learned nothing but wiggling one note that sounds like something from the 1960's batman series

I don't know if you know this but wiggling the note is what vibrato is 😜

[@tapasi2877]

Did you realise now after 3 years that you actually learned to do vibrato back then?!

[@transformationearthmusic]

Awesome, what a great teacher, thank you for this video. I totally relate to the spiritual aspect of guitar technique like vibrato-playing music is for sure a spiritual endeavor, especially when it comes to deep self expression through the instrument. If you watch some of the most amazing musicians (including guitar players) their performance is a very spiritual experience for sure, helps you tap into a deeper place.

[@hemantparmar1210]

Thanks man.My vibrato technique has improved a lot after practicing this.I feel very comfortable doing this "hand movement Vibrato" ..other techniques weren't suitable for me.

[@tinfoilguy9807]

Justin, It’s funny you have us start with pulling down, which is a heck of a lot easier and more natural for me, than to bend upwards at first. I realize there are many ways to do vibrato but unless it’s in the first string, I believe I’ll use this technique.

[@rautibo]

i found my jazz soud improved when i learned to do violin style vibrato. its more beautiful and soft. keeep the bending vibrato for rock and roll or metal. good vids

[@BrunoNeureiter]

Thanks

It modulates your sound so you don't have the sound of that bend thingy

I'm struggling with this as well. I know that i shouldn't use my fingers but i just can't! Its so annoying. If u solved out how to do that, can u give me some tips?

[@williamritchie5462]

@@edaabacoglu946 me too

[@pietrosilvestri8107]

Maybe try and lighten up the pressure you're applying on the string with your finger. It should be the smallest amount of pressure necessary to have a clean sound, no more than that. Efficiency above all :)

[@edaabacoglu946]

@Pietro Silvestri ah thx i solved out that i was just pushing the string so hard! now i can do it

yes thank you so much for this video! I got my first electric guitar, and this a technique I see in a lot of songs I wanted to learn but when I tried to do it it was very uncomfortable and awkward. The video seriously helped! Thanks again!!

The biggest thing is patience and understanding it’s going to take your body sometime to internalize it. Until that point it will be a struggle and feel unnatural.

[@handsomeguitaristababy]

great video! question: how to accelerate the rotating motion of wrist to sound faster vibrato? (I felt quite locked)

[@bretttrommler756]

Thanks for this. I have played on and off for many years and tremelo is something I have always struggled with. I used to play with my best friend who was amazing. He could melt the freaking keyboard with his fingers while he was having a casual conversation with me. I hated him... Anyway, I'm over that... sort of. But, he used to do these amazing bends with a vibrato at the upper end of the bend. Something I have never been able to do. I'm older and retired now and I have the time to get back into playing. Unfortunately my body doesn't respond the way it used to. I don't have the finger strength and I was lucky enough to inherit some of my dad's arthritis. So I am still struggling. But I don't want to give up. My best friend was fortunate enough to be able to make a career out of his ability on the guitar and has played with some fairly big name musicians like Eddie Money and Blue Oyster Cult. He is only a year younger than me and he still plays just like he always has. Anyway, I digress. All of this to say that I hope I can use videos like these to try and get back into it. Back in the day I used to be somewhat good. But life got in the way and I quit playing for many years. I still have the 25/50 Anniversary Les Paul and the Flying V2 that I bought brand new back in 1980. At least I never got rid of those. We'll see what happens. What kind of exercises could I do to build up that kind of strength in my hands? Cuz I really struggle with being able to keep the string pushed against the fret while trying to bend it up and down smoothly. At least your video has showed me that my had position wasn't correct.

[@kennethcarvalho3684]

Brilliant lesson...loved it.Thanks

[@G_yutt]

If you go up the above string starts ringing too and its annoying hw can i avoid that

[@jeddydud2259]

how could you move it with that motion? i literally need to grab onto the string just so i could barely move it

[@Sekhmet6697]

Problem is when your hand isn't big enough to wrap yout thumb around the neck while still keeping 3 fingers on each fret, and you're stuck with the "incorrect" technique shown on 2:24. But yeah, the "correct" technique is much more comfortable and natural to play.

[@Dunqdo]

[@jerzykiedys4496]

[@stonedpotatochip]

Is it harder to do vibrato on acoustic guitars? Because Im literally having a hard time here with my acoustic guitar and ruining my fingertips in the process but the way you bend strings make it look like it's easy af. Is it xperience?

[@justinguitar]

It is more difficult as the strings are under greater tension. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

Dude, that was incredible helpful! I taught playing the guitar for myself since around 20 years and never figured out a good vibrato on an e-guitar. I come from the violin and always end up with the classical vibrato. Also I tried to do it from the fingers and it sounded and felt wrong! Now it sounds more awesome! Thank you!

My problem is my bend finger clicking and popping on the string above. Try as I might I can't avoid it.

[@booswalia]

What is a reasonable amount of time for this to take to learn?

[@peterharoldjanakjr2078]

Precisley what I need to know. Watching guitarists. It really does look like they are just pushing and pulling with thier fingers. Just doing the one fi get vibrato aka B. B. king is how I started. In the beginning it was very awkward and was using only course motor skills. Then one day it clicked and became a fine motor skill. Not fine enough. As I can only do it at one speed. But that will change. I like the way demonstrated here and I'll work on getting that control in the hand.

[@suegates5]

🚩BEST Explanation Yet.. Thanks,u helped A Lot. Was told all kinds of ways,none worked. But,just like Bends sounds..kinda Bad??? My guess,Once learned..GO FASTER?! Sounds "WONKY" Slow..lol

I was just looking through the comments and how are any of y’all able to do this?! I’ve been trying for the past 30 minutes and I haven’t got anything!!

[@peterachilles9908]

My upwards vibrato is much slower than the downwards version. I guess that's normal, is it? Maybe because the anchor point at the index root doesn't exist on the upwards version and the forces have to detour via the thumb that's building the fundament.

[@vittoriodelucia5828]

is it okay if i bend the string in the opposite way?

[@bramdoesgaming1967]

Vittorio De Lucia that’s probably better

[@Bazukosoniko]

gran lección amigo justin

[@jasonfella265]

I don't necessarily agree with what he says about the "incorrect" way to do vibrato, with your fingertips coming down directly on the strings. I've done it that way for years, and my vibrato sounds great. Just feels like I have better control and leverage that way. It's just a different way to do it, and you could just as easily make a mistake doing it the "right" way. However, I have been wanting to start doing it this way, if for no other reason than it's not as hard on your fingers. =)

[@geez8780]

I can easily do this with my right hand, maybe i should switch to left handed guitar.

[@xthatghomiex2939]

I've been playing everyday for years, I can do finger vibrato during bends, and arm vibrato, but I never seem to be able to do it with my index finger

[@jm7859]

All these tutorials I've watched doesn’t really teach WHEN to start shaking your hand after you pick the note. Do you start right away (down beat) a soon as you pick the note? Do you start on upbeat? Or do you wait for the next beat to start shaking it?

[@justinguitar]

That will be part of your unique, individual vibrato and you need to develop it by experimentation. Your questions should be your guide for how to start experimenting - try them all and see what you like best.
