DESCRIPTION:
It's a wounded bird! It's a drunk mosquito! It's Stevie Nicks! NOPE, it's... your horrible vibrato! Bad vibrato ruins lives. "But Uncle Ben", you say, "I can sweep faster than Yngwie's maid, and my picking is faster than a cheetah on a speed boat"... it doesn't matter. If you land on a note and give it a disgusting spastic wiggle, you send a very clear message that you don't know what you're doing. Lucky for you, i'm here to expose to you why your vibrato made your real dad abandon you so long ago.
I'm going to take you through the 4 main styles of vibrato (finger, wrist, side to side, and circular {aka Vaibrato}), show you how to stop making them sound terrible, then wrap you up with a handful of Illuminati ProTips before turning you loose on the world, armed with the secrets of the Shredi Knights. You're welcome, in advance.
Rocking my Ibanez RG470 with Dimarzio pickups, through my always-amazing Kemper Profiler, Matrix GT800FX power amp, and Avatar 2x12 speaker cabinet. Best gear ever.
Noticed that i look more handsome than ever in this video, did you? That's because my main man Ben Gibson shot and edited this bad boy. He is a super dude to work with, and has also filmed music videos for my bands Arc and Far Far Away. Go scope him out at www.youtube.com/user/bennygproductionz !
Thanks for watching kids. Let me know what you suck at, and i'll help you out. Cheers!
