Develop Your Bending Vibrato With This Simple Exercise 

my vibrato on a 'flat' note sounds great, but my vibrato on 'bended' note is non-existent. This is right up my alley!

Absolutely what I needed to see. The vibrato at the top of a bend has been my Achilles heel forever. My vibrato on un-bended notes is great and very expressive. I'm gonna try your method and see where it takes me. Ty!

Very helpful. I teach, and struggle to teach this stuff.

I didn't have to raise my action for the high e. I just practiced this for 2 months and wore some nice grooves in the frets 😊

I played guitar in High School 1977 and about 15 yrs ago I started back taking lessons, my instructor was very surprised I was naturally doing BB King vibrato bends. I wiggle my hand instead of the way you do it.

Thank you!

Very good topic, my bending vibrato is now awful but not where I want it to be so this is good teaching.

If you don’t wear out several re frets you’re not trying hard enough! Hahaha

Definitely going to add this to my lesson plans! Thanks Anthony!

Great camera angle on fretboard ❤

Helpful!

The G string is easiest unless you use a 'Wound 3rd/G string" lol. I didn't realize that until this last set I bought, I guess because I didn't do many G string bends last time I bought a set. First time I tried it on this set, I did the usual bend I use on my Goldtop with a plain G and barely got halfway to the note I was attempting to bend to lol. I was like "oh damn. I really gotta bend this thing!" Yea. That will likely be the last wound 3rd set I buy 🤣

Man. I wish I had seen this before today. Bend vibrato is 1 thing I've not been able to get down until I saw this. I've only been playing for fun for 3 years with no real instruction from anyone other than random pick & choose lessons from Truefire and random stuff I found online. Funny part is that I didn't initially grab my guitar and try it when I saw this yesterday. I actually just grabbed the guitar for the first time this morning and I remembered your vid, so I tried doing it slow first. Talk about an epiphany! I always tried to go straight into vibrato and never could get it. Doing it slow like that makes it much, much easier. I see exactly how one would progress from that. THANK YOU! 🙏👍

Anthony can you do a quick explanation on how you do those bends with the muted notes? It’s almost you you rake into your bends a lot and I can’t figure it out.

Perfect short lesson, very helpful in understanding to practice to develop this technique thanks Anthony

It took me quite a lot of time to achieve an alright bend vibrato , since that i love do it in solo . Thanks to you 😁

Great video, thanks!

Other teachers say it is all in wrist ?

Awesome and thank you

Thanks for this!

Bending vibrato, also known as "kiss goodbye your frets' longevity".

If you want textbook examples of BAD vibrato look no further than avenged sevenfold. Adele has great vibrato though.

The faster the vibrato the worse it sounds . . . You don't want to ever go too fast. The gradual going faster needs to be really gradual and have a limit because there's a quick point of diminishing returns where fast vibrato very quickly sounds like utter shit and forced. Another thing I was taught in music school is to try and match the vibrato rate your vocalist uses in terms of how fast you do vibrato.
