Guitarchampion,
Who has the tastiest vibrato? Let me know in the comments
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Yngwie USED to have it. He lost it in the early 90s, due to alcoholism.
In general I do believe that everybody's one personal favorite guitarist is probably one's personal skill hero. Even that 60ish grizzled blues player from that band of geezers that just has "this one gig at the city festival"- he can have it too. This one vibrato/bend that moves you deeply from within. Bloody weeping guitars man!
My Vibrato
Zakk Wylde has a vibrato that sticks out to me. great video btw!
Brandon Ellis
❤John Sykes!❤
Gary Moore and Yngwie have the best vibrato in my opinion.
Brandon Ellis. Very unique and expressive vibrato. Maybe the best ive ever heard.
Agreed
I would also add Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden (especially on Somewhere In Time) and Phil Tougas
George Lynch is unique. Schenker's low note vibrato is gorgeous.
Oh man I love Schlenkers vibrato :)
Yup, I know a lot of fast and shreddy guys that lack in the vibrato department and the most common bad vibrato I've seen is the "Hammett mosquito" vibrato. For me it was the string tension, once I got that down the vibrato part came easily but I'm still working on better controlling it... Brandon Ellis has one of the best in the game and Wes Hauch as well and, in their case, it's thinner strings.
Great vid!
And that with an 21 fret guitar, Yngwie kicks your ass! ♨️🙏♨️
For tastiest vibratos, i go for Steve Vai
Steve Vai plays guitar like he has an orgasm the whole time.
Mega Video, die meisten YT/Online Lehrer sprechen immer davon dass es eine "feeling"-Sache ist, worauf es dann halt am Ende auch irgendwann hinausläuft sobald man eine gute Technik entwickelt hat, aber bis dahin muss man überhaupt erstmal die Mechanik hinter dem Vibrato verstehen und worauf es ankommt!
Cool video, I have learnt something today. Thank you!
great vid, needed that wrist movement advice
1) vibrato sounds MUCH better when in rhythm with the song
2) scalloped frets make vibrato MUCH easier to control
Paul Kossoff is also worth to listen to, if it goes to vibrato.
Yes 🙌
Vibrato is my favorite thing on guitar!!!
I love wide and slow vibratos, like Yngwie and Sykes, but always in tune
Yeah me too :)
Matias Kupiainen has crazy vibrato
Totally!
In Yngwie´s case it´s given by a Nordic God.
Goerge Lynch.
Good video (as always 👍🏼)
In my opinion, Nothing compares to Zakk Wylde’s vibrato
Darauf muss ich jetzt erst mal klar kommen 😂🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Paul Gilbert flexes his vibrato chops on his song, aptly-named, "Vibrato". He's pretty good.
Masters of vibrato but also include Steve Morse although he at times sounds twitchy.
Gary Moore
Gilmour deserves mention :)
also the sine wave examples were really cool, to put the vibrato to the actual shape of the sine wave, cool stuff!
angus young and joe bonamassa also have a incredible vibrato😊
Absolutely: Night Prowler is a great example from Angus.
I feel like everyone is so focused on Lambo Keys, that they never bothered to Listen to the album "No Boundries" MAB never gets his due, best vibrato in the game 🧐
Not trying to give discredit to this video, but the information in this video and its title are very misleading and a bit clickbait-ish. Yngwie doesn't really use his wrist that much for his insane vibrato. You really only see him doing a wrist turning motion when he uses the index finger on something like the G string, otherwise his motion is an upwards/downwards motion of the entire forearm with only little wrist involved, which is most of the reason why his vibrato is so wide, fast and controlled. Also, he doesn't always use triplets at all, there's plenty of 8th or even 16th vibrato in his playing.
It's better to see this video as a general rule of thumb when it comes to how most rock guitar players do their vibrato, but it honestly has hardly anything to do with Yngwie's vibrato. :)
There's also a few more things when it comes to vibrato which are pretty essential and are not being covered here, but they're probably more advanced so it's better to get the bases covered first (which this video does well enough).
Keep shredding! 🤘
I'd have one question: That pronation movement you showed works pretty well for me as long as i'm using the index finger for that note. If the note (i.e. because of the fingering) is on the middle finger or the ring finger, i have way less control and it sounds pretty bad. Do you take care to always use the index finger for vibrato?
It really depends on where the landing note is, which shouldn't be on your index finger only because don't feel safe with the other fingers. That's why it makes a lot of sense practicing vibrato with any other finger, but if you struggle with the wrist turning motion, try placing your wrist at a different angle, try to place your thumb a bit different to get another grip or try doing the vibrato motion upwards instead of downwards. Also, try not to rely solely on wrist motion but try to move your forearm up and down as well.
I just had a discussion about this very topic 2 days ago and I still struggle to see how to objectively distinguish between a „good“ and „bad“ vibrato as I think ultimately it comes down to subjective taste as it is with most other aspects of music. I‘m not very acquainted with Marty Friedman‘s playing, but to me, that particular vibrato example you chose in the beginning didn’t sound great at all. Then again I can see how other people may perceive that totally differently. I’m aware of the two parameters you describe in the video, but for example I like to play around with changing the speed and intensity of the vibrato while staying on one note. Others may think that‘s annoying. The only objective aspect I can think of is the point you mentioned about not returning to the pitch and thus making the vibrato sound completely out of tune. Am I missing something?
I think for me it all comes down to: „do someone knows what he is doing“.. and if not, if somebody is just shaking his finger with absolutely no musical awareness of what is happening in the moment.. yes, I think you can count that often as a bad vibrato. Or let‘s say it this way the chance that with this you developed a good vibrato is minimum.
„Zittervibrato“ by Kirk for example.
And objectively yes the pitch but also the overuse and the instant use to do a vibrato on every note is something that will sound not good for our western ear
But as you said in another of your videos about vibrato: a lot of players don’t even know themselves how they got their vibrato, it just „happened“. So how do you call that „know what they’re doing“? Again I would suggest it comes down to the taste and listening habits.
I‘ve been a fan of the Hal Galper approach to playing music for years now. In a masterclass he said that everybody is playing music on their instrument exactly how they hear it in their head. So maybe Kirk does his vibrato just the way he intends to. But that‘s just a guess since I‘m not him. It could also be a lack of awareness as you said.
As for the other points you mentioned: you said it sounds bad to „our western“ ears, so it comes down to taste again since millions if not billions of people on the planet like to listen to exactly this kind of vibrato. 😉
@@MarcoTullius As much as I like Hal galper, but I don’t think this methods helps someone from an educational pov. It is like: „play however you feel comfortable“, how many students did I have in the past that were teached that way come to me and asked my why they couldn‘t pick that fast or what not. Because „do how ever you feel like“ is an illusion, this rarely works.
I want to have control over what I‘m doing, so that I always have the opportunity to make musical choices, when I don’t know what I‘m doing wrong, how can I have control over what I‘m doing? And phrasing is in the first place a technique like picking, sweeping etc.
What we craft with these skills and techniques, that is based on taste. That is hard to judge, there you are 100% right.
@@MarcoTullius what you hear in your head, is also something that has to be trained, formed and developed. And what you hear in your head and the reality how it actually sounds can be two different things. Our perception is so limited when we are playing, often we don’t realize what we are doing (like I did back in the day, I had no clue how my vibrato actually sounds)
@@justin.hombach I don't think we disagree. The Hal Galper method definitely isn't meant to be an esoteric-feel-good-method of playing or teaching. Of course you need to train your abilities on the instrument. That's a given. Otherwise everyone with a decent ear could pick up an instrument and just start playing. But once you are at that point your hearing habits take over and determine what you play and how you play it, therefore it's your musical taste that comes out.
For me the point is rather how to determine if someone has a "good" or "bad" vibrato and I struggle to see a definitive answer here. Saying that you should never immediately start a vibrato on a note is too absolute in my point of view and I would always decide how to play a note on the given musical context.
When I teach stuff like this to my students I first tell them to become aware of the possible parameters they can manipulate, which in case of vibrato is pitch and speed, then learn to control the two parameters with their technique (narrow and slow, narrow and fast, wide and slow, wide and fast, speeding up, slowing down, getting wider or narrower and everything in between) and afterwards adjust to taste given their musical preferences.
Try srv vibrato on 13 String Guitars
i love ritchie blackmore's vibrato. for example:

Michael Schenker has epic vibrato
What is your guitar setup neck relief and action height.
Everything as low as possible :)
Playability over sound
Es gibt schnellere Gitarristen wie Malmsteen und saubere, aber das Vibrato ist mir jetzt, wo ich Gitarre spiele, erst richtig aufgefallen. Zum Glück fällt mir leichtes Vibrato einfacher also starkes Bending. Blues Gitarrist werde ich in diesem Leben nicht mehr :-D Für nen Linkshänder kann ich nach 6 Monaten schon ganz ordentlich shredden. Deine Kurse sind im Moment noch zu heftig, obwohl ich ähnlich meine Alternate Picking 3 strings per Note Patterns übe. Ich kann immer sagen "Ich bin eigentlich Bass Spieler" ;-) :-D Als Linkshänder habe ich mich auf Picking und 3 strings per note mit Alternate Picking und Powerchords fokussiert. Das Nachspielen von Songs und Arpeggios habe erstmal zurückgestellt.
Das war am Anfang ziemlich schrecklich vom Sound, besonders auf den dünnen Saiten, wenn ich mit Bass Spieler Power die Saiten mit der linken Hand gedrückt habe. Ich muss immer noch darauf achten nur minimal zu drücken. Powerchords waren am Anfang auch schrecklich. .-D So weniger Kraft man einsetzt, desto schneller und länger kann man spielen ;-)
Nein. Einfach nein
Isn't his vibrato a lot to do with using scalloped frets? Also my vibrato improved when I relaized it's about time feel, the vibrato tempo has to fit the music.
Wes Hauch
Absolutely one of the best right now
Vibrato isn’t something that can be practiced like a technical thing. Then it becomes stiff and clinical. Yngwie often says ”play with your ears”. And that is actually the best piece of advice. Your inner musician should dictate what comes out in the instrument. Even the vibrato. The instrument and your hands are just tools. The music should come from within.
Strongly disagree, you won‘t destroy musicality with taking an analytical pov on vibrato. When it would be that way, every trained vocalist would have a stiff and clinical vibrato.
You achieve new tools, what you made out of these tools that is up to you…
Yes listening is an extremely important process in music, and after listening comes understanding. And the method from the video helps you understand.
I mean you are totally right with one thing, your inner musician should dictate what comes out on the instrument. But what if your inner musician has a vision but the real life musician can not translate it on the instrument, because he has not the right technique. You have to practice this technique and then there is no difference between Vibrato or Speedpicking.
This is a cute way of saying “Jesus take the wheel” with your playing tbh
@@justin.hombach I don’t think any of our heroes sat down and practiced vibrato specifically. I believe the basic technical side of handling your instrument should be developed organically. A good vibrato and good tone comes from your inner ear and the ability to transfer that to your instrument. In other words - I don’t think Kirk Hammett could practice to get a decent vibrato. He has the inner ear and the musical personality he is born with.
@@Rocker72I don‘t think they have practiced it with these methods, but they definitely did take the time and thought to developed the vibrato. I don‘t believe it develope naturally out of nothing. Yngwie, Steve, John, Paul, Zack what ever… they definitely took a look on their vibrato in the early days and thought „okay, how can I do it to sound like this or that“.
These are now more methodical methods that helped me and others to develope a vibrato much quicker, with more control and with more detail. A lot of players are only doing ONE type of vibrato, this is especially to learn how to do several types of it.
Yes, the inner musical ear is also important, but the ear is also something that you have to train and with these methods my inner musical ear got more developed and sensitive to vibrato.
I believe Kirk’s vibrato would change a lot if he practise these methods every day for the next three months or so. I saw the results in so many players, even professionals and in myself.
Why do you think vibrato is something that can't be practiced? It's a technique you do with your fingers, like alternate picking or bending.
Wanna hear some vibrato? Check out Zakk Wylde!
to wide to overstated no subtlety at all .
For the best vibratos, I go to Kirk hammet
lol
1 tip to beat this entire video:
Listen to VOCALISTS. Copy their vibrato.
If you want your guitar to SING, you're going to have to make it SING, derp.
Why do you want to beat this video?
@@justin.hombach It's not about beating the video but rather about discovering more efficient ways to discover things, or learn, or refine!
Being more efficient is great because it allows us to achieve the same results more rapidly and leaves us with more time to accomplish other things that we might need/want to do!
Thanks for asking!
Not if the vocalist have a awful vibrato as well :D
@@BlazonStone Don't look to amateurs to refine your technique, then, and you won't have a problem.
Skilled singers have the best vibratos out there.
Unskilled singers will not....
@@doktordrift948 Im pretty confident about my vibrato, both as guitarist and singer, I am big believer in synching with the tempo so that all harmonies synch with each other perfectly : )
