Back in October '08, I wrote the most long winded thesis about vibrato technique. Then I did a recent follow up because some commenter was tryin' to bust my balls about it.
So, here's a 3 minute video which actually shows what I was talking about. People really struggle with vibrato, and nobody actually breaks down the mechanics involved. It's about tension & release, and letting the string tension do half the work. People either get this or they don't. Those that do seem almost sworn to secrecy.
I hope this helps somebody out. I'm currently in the witness protection program with Tom Edison's dog.
Vibrato Technique Saga - Those were big caffeine days!
Here's an "expert video" about vibrato technique which manages to show you absolutely NOTHING about HOW vibrato is accomplished. This is why I rant!
