      hey justin, my wife and i are both guitar students and we LOVE your channel :)
      would you please consider doing a lesson on The Captain is Drunk by Jack Johnson? there aren't any really good tutorials about it, and it's such a lovely little song.
      thanks, keep up the great work!

    Wow. I have been struggling with vibrato for longer than I care to admit. I just could never do it. After practicing this pivot technique for a few hours the light finally went on for me and now I am very happy to be able to do a somewhat passable vibrato. I know it will only get better from here. My confidence in my playing has skyrocketed as a result. Its impossible to overstate my appreciation for this and your other video lessons. Thank you, Justin. Now on to vibrato bends.

    The Master of vibrato is Dave Gilmour. It's not just vibrato. It incorporates vibrato with bending and it is so intonated that it follows perfect half/whole step changes in pitch. On Shine On You Crazy Diamond he's making 3 whole step bends! Starting on an E and bending up to an A. And perfect pitch. Then comes back down just as smoothly as he went up and then ends the phrase with perfect vibrato.

    I was never a whammy bar user until I got a tennis elbow. Now whammy bar is the only way to make vibratos and has become somewhat integral part of my playing also with bends.

    Great vid as always, thanks! What kind of vibrato you'd say Steve Hackett uses? Of course, it's his signature tunes that come to minds immediately, like Spectral Mornings, but also some of his work on Genesis' albums as well (think of solos in Supper's Ready "Ikhnaton and Itsacon and Their Band of Merry Men" section and suchlike). Curious to know what you reckon, thanks!

      You need to watch the acoustic segments with Ben Smith, Lee hasn't got any game at all compared to Ben. He really likes to wave his guitar around too, I love it! He is such an animated player it's so much fun to watch him.

    Vibrato Is an interesting topic because almost every great player has their own unique vibrato. For example Justin mentioned Clapton's way which to me is a more wide slower vibrato but then you have BB King who had a incredibly fast almost buzzing bee type of vibrato. Then you have David Gilmour who is sort of Inbetween he does his vibrato the standard way but his is generally slow with a delicate touch.

    Kevin Shields took the vibrato arm to an entirely new dimension with the rather unique tremolo system in Fender Jaguars and Jazzmasters. Justin, have you ever played one of those with some reverse reverb à la My Bloody Valentine?

I searched all of your videos and I couldn't find a tutorial for "Always on my mind" more the Elvis version as I want to play it for my mum who is a life long fan, nothing against Brenda Lee version its absolutely beautiful..
    Would be amazing if you could do it. 🙂

      Besides practicing accuracy you can, as said, check out muting. "Muting" sure is a broad palette.

    Wait, did you say the string is not supposed to touch the wood of the neck? 5:01 Have I been playing wrong all these years? I know I press too hard still, but am I supposed to be pressing so lightly that the string under my finger never touches wood?

    • @bluefender9489
      @bluefender9489 Рік тому +1

      Pressing the string onto the neck will increase the pitch. It is not necessary. The string just needs to be down enough that the string stays in contact with the fret without buzzing

    • @leorjj
      @leorjj Рік тому +1

      It's unlikely to be actually touching the wood. Might feel like it, but if you look closely it's probably only touching the fret. Strings don't bend enough to actually touch the wood, except maybe the lower 2 strings.

    • @justinguitar
      @justinguitar  Рік тому

      A lot of people (me?) have thought you should try to get as low of action as you can. But to achieve a great vibrato, is it actually better to have higher action so you’re not hitting the wood ?

  • @LeperMessiah1977
    @LeperMessiah1977 2 місяці тому

    Maybe someone can answer me this. When doing vibrato, what happens to the notes and pitch? I know the pitch goes higher, but isn't there a mathematical way to understand the rate and depth? For instance, to make a pleasant vibrato, the rate of the frequency has to go twice or four times as fast? If you do it three times as fast (like a triplet), it might sound good or maybe weird/unpleasant? I am just trying to understand how to make great sounding vibrato from a theoretical standpoint, not just from ear and instinct.

    • @justinguitar
      @justinguitar  2 місяці тому

      People do not tend to learn, practice or play vibrato with thoughts of mathematical timing and so on. You can do this and start very slow. Play a note, add vibrato and slowly count 1, 2, 3, 4. Incrementally, over time, speed up the count until you reach a point where you can split further and count 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &. That can train your vibrato to follow even tempo.

      Just to understand, so you usually vibrate the note in half, quarter, eight or sixteen notes compared to the original note? Is that you mean with even tempo? Thx in advance

      Not really - I wrote that as a possible means of learning and practicing based on your specific question but also wrote first off that people tend not top lay vibrato with mathematical timing - not counting, just by feel.

      Lol, sure go and try to increase the frequency of the first string by 1.(many decimals in the case of a semitone) to get a good vibrato. Just use ur ear dude, math doesn't help w this. Although it can be helpful for other stuff, namely tuning systems and other stuff
