How To Do Extreme Vibrato/bending

[@MattSyversonthePaperbackRocker]

Bend comes from the wrist, like turning a doorknob

@The Unknown did he say that?

Damn, that tinkertrain solo was literally 100% perfect technique-wise and tone-wise.

Cameron, if you graduated high school in 1986 you’d be the most popular dude with all the girls. Awesome playing sir.

[@CameronCooper]

Haha cheers

[@machia0705]

If you graduated in 1976 you’d be more popular than the Captain of the football team. Girls? They would be knocking your door down🎸How long have you been playing? Great style.

[@snogglemonkey]

Guitarists with a great vibrato will always draw you in.

[@angrywolfproductions4499]

Killer lesson, great chops great player very cool guitars too, Nailed that Moore lick, so good.

[@portend4310]

Great lesson and playing! Rhoads is known to have used 10's and 11's, so he wasn't relying on lighter gauges for his killer bends and vibrato.

[@zoomosis]

I think Randy used 10s when tuned to E flat, so the string tension was similar to 9s tuned to E.

[@avsteele5258]

Hey mate! Awesome video on vibrato, a lot of people don't realize that just a little vibrato can add so much to your playing style. I like doing those extreme bends into some vibrato, sounds so cool. Keep on Rocking mate! Cheers!

[@kennethmabus381]

Algorithm brought me to Cameron and after watching several videos, Bam..... I had to subscribe. Great videos and content. So much more to get out of your time here. I've watched alot of different lessons and gear reviews on KZbin. But Cameron has got the knack for just what he's doing. I'm a fan!

[@CameronCooper]

You're very kind Kenneth! Thank you so much!

That’s the best solo of mr tinker train, 🤯 I’ve seen so far, nice job

Great lesson Cameron, Rock on!

thank you master, greetings from a humble musician from El Salvador!!! keep on rocking!!! you have a new subscriber!!!

[@comment.highlighted]

I used to use 10’s for many years, but I went back to 9’s 🙂 Dude, you nailed everything in this video. Great technique & tone!

[@dantana8570]

I'll take Jake E. Lee's vibrato over Zakks any day but this is a good lesson thanks Cameron

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Jake E. is criminally underrated. He wrote Bark At The Moon for crying out loud!

[@rodrossi9749]

@@MrSpeed-lt8gr ...... I've had the good fortune of hanging with him a bit while he was recording and filming at my friend's studio. He is one of the most genuine guy's I've had the pleasure of hanging with. Absolutely one of the most innovative guitarists out there. Criminally underrated, and a wonderful person.

[@elimarsilvanikock7818]

nice playing mr, i use 9’s on standard e tuning and 10’s on down tuned guitars in my collection

[@dirkdiggler4567]

Me too

[@jackienp]

I'm in love with your vibrato.

[@hawshimagical]

one thing about strings, i recommend the 9-46 strings instead of 9-42, if you want just the lower strings to sound a bit more tight and in tune. when i switched to lighter string gauge, i ran into a problem of the lower strings sounding a little too floppy, 9-46 fixed it

[@CameronCooper]

Coolio! Just comes down to how hard you hit the lower register. I adjust to suit whatever string gauge I try out

[@trendkill3333]

I’m a pretty heavy picker so I use 10-48 for standard and half step down. I tried 9-42 when I first started and it just felt too loose. I needed more resistance

[@RockinSG]

It was recommended I use 9 - 46 on my Wolfgang with a D-Tuna. I guess the 46 gauge helps when using the D-Tuna. I've been using 9-42 since I started playing.

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

That amplifier sounds very brutal! You’ve got a good tone! 🎼🎵🎶🎥

[@iresentdoingthis1550]

Great tip about the lighter gauge strings. All THE rock gods play lighter gauge, heck even Meshuggah use light gauge strings and tune to Z, there's a Rick Beato video where he talks about the sonic benefits of playing 8's, Dave Friedman says it takes out the un-useful low-end frequencies that live & in the studio the cut-out / hi-pass anyway. Lots of guitarists put themselves through unnecessary pain using heavy gauge strings when the Legends knew where it's at, yerself included Cameron 🤘 Great Vid

[@HeadbangersLocal]

Lol “ off the top of my head “ 🤣🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 nice playing!

[@eranshalom1336]

Hey Cameron, I watched a couple of your videos, this one convinced me to subscribe you. You're an awesome guitar player. Keep doing what you do I, and probably many others learn from your lessons. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@ameliasessionslive3757]

Your sound is amazing and incredible 👏

[@jochem420]

Its just a flex that he takes another guitar every time

[@jerospal]

I respect you Cameron

[@gmel1084]

Can you do a video just talking about Zakk Wylde’s picking style. He doesn’t do any palm muting and pretty much always downward pickslanting. Thanks

[@CameronCooper]

Zakk's picking style has evolved a lot over the years and it's his style. I don't pick like him so it would be a bit weird if I taught that.

[@dbrnjhgfkbq5727]

have a good time what you use in the amplifier and pedals on this video-thank you

Excellent lesson man!!! One of many of my weaknesses. Hahahaha.

How do you stay in tune bending up 2 whole steps?

[@CameronCooper]

Having strings that are stretched in. Having a Floyd rose helps a lot

[@Alfred_E_Newman]

thanks, man, the 2 whole tone bends was a revelation, But IT HURTS MY MUFKIN FINGERS!!!

Keep at it and the pain will stop. You get used to it

[@gutmoin3686]

Can you show setting for this sound amp. Im really like this tone. How you get it. Or you are using pedal efec. Tq

[@gavinw5469]

You should try looking yourself instead of being lazy and asking on a comment. Super easy to find. It's in the description. Look there first.

[@David.C88]

How are you able to bend up an entire note? I tried once and got wacked in the face by a wire.

[@connorsonnendecker6120]

Are you using 9's in E-flat tuning? or are you in standard?... Killer vid by the way!

[@CameronCooper]

I use 9s in both standard and Eb tuning. In this video its standard tuning

[@mylesadams1662]

What makes string bending /vibrato easier other then string gauge is it lower and flatter fret board radius?

[@nellawell4976]

Hey Cameron, are your frets as flat as a runway or is it just me?

[@CameronCooper]

I got the frets re-crowned on the blue San Dimas but they're literally the same the stock frets in terms of size and intonation

[@GinnitunesRI]

"crush it like coop"

[@thomasschellekens5084]

From your videos, visually, it seems like your wide and fast vibrato's do not return to the completely unbended state in between the mini bends. Especially on the minor third. Is this correct? Or does it just look like that?

[@CameronCooper]

I don't even think about it that deeply I just go with what feels right at the time or what I specifically want to hear

[@ycguitarplayer777]

What pick ups do you use ?

[@emyemil5862]

Hey...i keep use strings 10-46 Elixir->and vibrato its kinda harder(i actualy only used 10-46 in my life), did you suggest me to use 9-42 with my Gibson SG? i buyed this guitar new with 10-46 strings by default....

[@Alfred_E_Newman]

not Cam, but i'll tell you this, My playing was improved 10 fold when I switched from 10's to 9's. The guitar came alive under my fingers. COuld play with much less pressure from my fingers which allowed me to increase my speed dramatically. Bends became effortless. Vibrato on bent strings were also much easier. I lost almost nothing in terms of tone, either. Keep in mind that many players use even lighter guage strings. I believe that Ygngwie uses 8's. SO give it a try, will only cost u a couple bucks ti find out, right?

[@MaxKing222]

SRV used electric cables right!??

Left hand means nothing if you can't mute the other strings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's pretty self explanatory since most people have learned to mute by the time they're learning to tackle bending and vibrato like this
