How To Add Vibrato To String Bends, Technique & Exercises: Blues Lead Guitar Lesson Tutorial s2p4

[@stevejames6860]

Holy shit been struggling with this for ages within 30 seconds of you saying let the pressure of the string push your finger back down i had it nailed! Thank you so much

[@STWUGAMMA]

People don’t even realize how difficult this is to master!! I really appreciate this video!

[@isaganipastera7858]

I feel you dude. Difficult indeed.

[@mkf628]

requires strength and finesse.. damn hard!

[@ericsimpson4513]

Thank you for this vid. I have been playing for over 20 years and this is one of my biggest struggles.

[@atcqmm5916]

I started watching a handful of your videos when I first started six years ago and I’ve seemed to cycle back. This is one of few techniques I ignored as a self taught guitarist but now want to implore Thanks a bunch

[@eliasabbas8450]

You're a great teacher man. I was able to do it almost immediately when you explained how you're supposed to let the string go down, then you push up a bit. Great lesson, THANK YOU!

[@punkybrewsterrr]

always insightful and interesting lessons after all these years. really the best guitar practice channel available, especially for beginnners. Keep going Justin ! cheers

[@nightshadehelis9821]

JustinGuitar, I seriously can't thank you enough. I almost gave up playing because I was so frustrated with my bend vibratos. This was the ONLY way I was able to learn them right. It drove me absolutely crazy constantly hearing people in class nailing these bend vibratos while I was unable to do the same. THANK YOU.

[@whiskersb5296]

This is a really great lesson, Justin. Vibrato on bends seems like one of those things you just do, but if you actually think about it, you improve your sound tremendously.

[@3dlabs99]

Great lesson as always! Love the idea about no rules but just guidelines helping you along the way to figure out what works for you. That probably applies to everything in life actually to some extend.

[@MikeKoopmans1984]

Wow right off the bat: learn to do both seperately confidently. I can bend just fine, but vibrato has always been a bit tricky for me. Back to practicing that first then and I will bookmark this for when I nail that haha! Awesome tip!

[@davecarsley8773]

You're the man, Justin! Any time I need help with something on the guitar, you seem to explain it better than anyone else.

[@Flukey_1970]

Great advice as usual

[@HamzaKhan-id1jj]

Thanks Justin, I finally nailed it! There are so many vague video's on how to perform vibrato bends correctly, but your video made it so clear and simple.

[@lagernathy]

I had a hard time mastering this technique, but I realized part of it is in the setup of your guitar. Big frets and high action help with the technique, and I like the string gauge to have a certain amount of tension to fight my fingers a little which helps in the technique. I like 10s on a Strat.

[@kom1996]

All your lessons are so valuable ❤️ You're an angel Justin 😇 Love you 💕

[@sandman4862002]

After years of trying to push the string past the bend for the vibrato and wondering why it didn't sound right, in swoops Justin again with an easy lesson to fix my problem... thanks again Justin

[@shredBucketheadshred]

Justin can't you just buy pre bent strings to begin with? :P

[@outoworkdreamer]

Lol

[@robertowatsiano]

Lol

[@dmike03]

I really dig Slash's vibrato. I've tried so hard to copy it, but just can't seem to get it! But as always, Thanks for another great lesson!

[@arashsam1924]

OMG you are amazing justin you explain these stuff better than anyone else ive ever seen and you thought me so many manyyyy things over the years ...songs and techniques and everything ... i cant thank you enough

[@alwilliams1997]

Difficult technique to master - and to get the finger strength

[@russbrinn]

just keep playing ...it will come.

[@davorgolik7873]

Ton of very useful advices, thanks Justin!

[@arnavguitar]

Thanks for this lesson!

[@jmbgouveia]

nice one!....for me, you are the coolest teacher here on youtube!....God bless you, cheers

[@mentalmassage7]

God bless you man!🙏🏾

[@Kjskateboarding1]

Needed this lesson, cheers Justin!

[@BazCBazC]

Great lesson Justin, this something I've always had difficulty with, thanks!

[@outoworkdreamer]

Thanks Justin! You're one of the best.

[@SnakeTiya86]

I finally understood what muscle I have to actually use to do a vibrato from the wrist! but now I have to train it, I was doing bends with my fingers only....

[@miraplante4733]

Thanks!

[@sledge2742]

Thanks so much

[@wmheric]

Love that you always emphasise how important and useful it is for people to explore on their own (and to find THEIR truth). I'd say it isn't just for guitar playing but also for perhaps everything else in life.

[@alansimpson8962]

I got 13s on my gutiar a little tough doing bending but it can be done

[@xSixonx]

This really helped me thanks

[@matthewmadnessguitar1781]

hey do you have any tips on how to speed up your bending vibrato ? like when i bend i can do it just not that fast does it just take time?

[@i_live_pain8420]

Justin that Suhr is so damn gorgeous. I bet that humbucker at the bridge sounds killer. Have you done any videos just demonstrating how wonderful it sounds yet?

[@northof50now]

Check out Blues Guitar 2: Lesson 1. Justin does a great solo to one of his BB backing tracks - all on the bridge pick up. I believe through his Kemper. Well worth the 3 or 4 minutes!!

[@i_live_pain8420]

Thanks bro I will have to check it out. Is that a real Strat in your profile pic my friend?

[@northof50now]

Yes. American Standard. My first guitar purchase. Couldn't play a note. Didn't even play it when I bought it. Saw it on the wall and said, "I'll take that one." Luckily, it is still my favorite guitar.

[@i_live_pain8420]

Nice man. Take good care of it.

[@creme8338]

thats a pretty ugly guitar if im gonna be honest

[@danedgar1539]

Great lesson thankyou! I have a question. I have naturally freaky strong hands (hereditary) so i bend with single fingers, even with 12g, can i still use your technique?

[@thehalfspace27]

Dan Edgar wow! I think Clapton does that sometimes. Watch his live videos.

[@danedgar1539]

Prithvi Thakur clapton? Cool thanks, i actually got it down just by watching your video a few times

[@yanivtelem331]

can you please publish a lesson for "matt simons - catch & release"?

[@rollyjb]

Hey thanks Justin. How do I build up speed? I have the slow vibrato but I tend to cramp up if I try to speed up.

[@outoworkdreamer]

Speed is obviously a separate challenge. Start by practicing a scale or your favorite lick. Play it very slowly but here's the kicker.... Play it perfectly. Then when you get perfect at the slow speed (preferably to about 80bpm with your metronome) Play it several times ... Over and over....perfectly. Then increase by 10 or 20 bpm. Playing the same scale or lick perfectly. If you mess up go back to the slower speed. Slowly work your way up 10-20bpm at a time. This will increase you muscle memory and confidence immeasurably. Do this every day and you'll soon be ripping thru it and surprising yourself with your growth as a musician.

[@Gutslinger]

I always have trouble with my fingertips sliding under the lower strings, and oddly the lower strings can sometimes snag in the crease of my fingernails.. Learning how to mute the rest of the strings while also learning how to do bends/vibratos js going be tough.

[@HxCB3AST]

I always keep my nails very short on my fingering hand because my fingernails would have the same issue, seems to help

[@ccr_enjoyer]

Lower your action, use your index finger tip to push the upper strings when bending

[@robertgillespie9134]

Can you use vibrato with unison bends?

[@GalenIRL]

ofcourse

[@stoneysdead689]

Man- I've been playing 30 something years, but I'm self-taught, and I mean really self-taught- there was no internet, no tv shows or anything like that, no one around who played- accept my dad who only played banjo and acoustic guitar, bluegrass only. And he played rhythm, started out on upright bass- ended up playing mostly mandolin and banjo. He played at a professional level- Bill box and the Dixie drifters- he's the guy playing upright bass. But he refused to show me anything but the major chords- that was it, the rest he said I had to learn on my own. He hated electric guitar, hated the music I played, and really hated kids in general- that's why he wouldn't show me anything. Anyway- I had progressed to playing blues lead- pentatonic stuff, that's about it. But even that wasn't sounding right, and I could not for the life of me figure out why. I kept watching everyone else and being like "I'm doing the same thing..." - why was it sounding wrong? You just fixed it for me brother- I was relaxing my bends without muting them. I had narrowed it down to something about the bends but- I couldn't figure out what it was- I thought it was because I was failing to put enough vibrato in them but- no, it's because I'm relaxing them before I move to the next note without muting them- lol- sounds like a wounded animal almost. It sticks out like a sore thumb now that I finally put my finger on it to- I have no idea how I was missing it. Thank you- so much, you just got a new student brother.

[@UnwantedHouseGuest214]

Dang i tried making little vibratos while bending the strings and it just make the sound dissapear

[@marcelriemer3696]

Then you're probably lifting the string off the fret at some point, try it a few times and see if you can keep the string in contact with the fret while bending.

[@russbrinn]

keep playing .

[@farmerkun1457]

great vid...

[@lanceflanagan]

Been spoiled with floyd rose trems for years... to my detriment. Better pick myself up a hard tail and rectify this.

[@ElDuderino502]

So some of it does involve shaking the whole neck. I though I was doing it wrong.

[@matthewmadnessguitar1781]

hey i'm trying to do vibrato on the 20th fret but i keep loosing the sound

[@richardsrensen4219]

very hard to make vibrato and bend on my acoustic guitar to i have to use special stings to do this on acoustic guitar?

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

usually acoustics have very heavy strings, 12g and higher, sometimes much higher. Almost impossible to bend easily with those. Thinner strings will help a lot, but you'll suffer with thinner tone as well.

[@ScottiStudios]

Ernie Ball Rock and Blues strings. They have 1 less wound string and a plain string instead. Go for the Phosphor Bronze alloy, not the 80/20. The phosphor strings sound warmer. Match this with low action on your accoustic and it will fell like your are playing an electric 😊

[@QXZJX]

❤

[@splitzerx570]

Welp, that explains why I can’t add vibrato to my bends… you don’t bend up more and then go back… I FEEL FREE

[@Rinawati-ju6ib]

keren kk

[@matthewstundtner5224]

Harder than it looks

[@russbrinn]

keep playing and practicing it.....once you get it ,it will open up a whole new world.

[@SriramVad]

I cxbt fwlel my armx

[@RUSTYSPARKS36]

This is going to take a lot of work :/

[@mattgilbert7347]

I can't do that. My wrist won't move like that. I just use my fingers.

[@yoguys100]

You talk so much !
