Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.75,0:00:19.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How you'all doing, Justin here.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.08,0:00:22.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this lesson today we're checking \Nout whole arm vibrato.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.26,0:00:23.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I'm going to be honest.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.83,0:00:27.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a type of vibrato that I ignored\Nfor probably fifteen years or more.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.27,0:00:32.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was something that just didn't ever\Nfeel right to me when I tried to play it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.24,0:00:36.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the reason it didn't feel right \Nwas cause I hadn't practiced it enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.32,0:00:41.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,i had always done the traditional vibrato\Nwhich is where you put a finger down to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.63,0:00:46.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,use as a pivot point on the side of your\Nhand like you were doing string bending.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.16,0:00:53.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's kind of the most common\Nway of doing vibrato.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.49,0:00:58.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I was seeing Eric Johnson and Eric\NClapton doing this other vibrato and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.65,0:01:00.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it sounded different.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.53,0:01:03.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I guess there must have been value in\Nit if those guys were doing it that way
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.91,0:01:08.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I set about learning to do it. I did\Nit by a lot of watching, really, to be
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.20,0:01:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,honest, and experimenting myself. I got\Nsome great advice from my buddy
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.04,0:01:16.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dario Cortese, which is watching videos of\Nthe guys that you like doing the technique
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.77,0:01:19.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you want to learn, with the sound off
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.43,0:01:23.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because when the sound is on, our ears \Nare really overtaking things a little bit
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.96,0:01:25.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You concentrate on that a bit more.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.69,0:01:29.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But when you turn the sound off, you can\Nget a good look at what they're doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.46,0:01:35.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was really interesting for me to see.\NAnd it really is a whole arm vibrato.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.65,0:01:40.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The idea really is that with a traditional\Nvibrato, you're gripping the neck
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.24,0:01:43.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,quite solidly and you're using a pivot\Npoint at the bottom of the neck, but
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.88,0:01:47.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with this sort of vibrato, if we start off\NI'm putting my first finger in the eighth
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.94,0:01:50.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fret of the second string.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.33,0:01:56.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When you play that note, you're actually \Npushing and pulling with your whole arm.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.85,0:02:01.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I just turn sort of sideways so that \Nyou can see this part of my arm here
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.94,0:02:08.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the motion. And what I found was\Nthat keeping your hands, not tense, not
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.70,0:02:16.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,angry tense, but locked into the same \Nposition so the fingers around the note
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.60,0:02:21.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also for some reason, poking the thumb up\Nthe back of the guitar neck is something
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.78,0:02:24.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of the greats do and it does seem to \Nmake it easier. I don't know why.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.91,0:02:29.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In theory it shouldn't matter really if\Nyou hang everything off, but when it's
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.86,0:02:36.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a line a bit, the thumb's up the top\Nand the fingers are hanging down
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.65,0:02:41.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it seems to make it a little easier. And \Nit's definitely a nice vibrato, this type.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.100,0:02:52.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This one doesn't sound as natural to me\Nnow that I've been practicing this one.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.20,0:02:55.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It seems to sing a little more, \Nor something.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.03,0:02:58.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you also get this sort of, \NI'm not sure if it'll do it now.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.80,0:03:02.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is this sort of scratchy thing \Nthat happens, like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.42,0:03:05.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you can get this other type of \Nscratchy thing that I don't really
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.89,0:03:09.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,understand either, to be completely\Nhonest, but I just wanted to explain
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.35,0:03:14.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to you this idea. First finger, eighth \Nfret, second string, making sure that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.92,0:03:19.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you get your thumb poking out\Nthe top of the guitar
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.05,0:03:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The motion is very much up and down. \NIf you'd try and do it side to side,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.60,0:03:25.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like that, it doesn't really do as much.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.56,0:03:28.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a very mild vibrato there, but it\Nis not the type of vibrato that you want
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.93,0:03:32.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you are trying to copy the \NEric Clapton style.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.68,0:03:36.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first finger is quite locked. It is \Nsolidly in place.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.17,0:03:40.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your hand is a little bit tense, not angry\Ntense, but holding its shape.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.84,0:03:48.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then just start by pulling up and down\Nslowly with your arm.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.99,0:03:53.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Really slowly pushing down and then \Npushing up.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.31,0:03:57.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It almost feels like it's kind of bouncey\N
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.82,0:04:05.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just don't worry about the speed, just \Ntrying to get it kind of flowing and even.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.83,0:04:09.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do find that mine still sometimes \Nkind of goes from slow to fast
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.33,0:04:15.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Particularly if I think about it too much.\NIt's really a great one to practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.85,0:04:19.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First finger is definitely easiest, so. I\Nrecommend that you get that one down
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.73,0:04:23.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first and when you're cool, you can have\Na go using the other fingers as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.51,0:04:26.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It does work. It just doesn't feel quite\Nas comfortable for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.87,0:04:30.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I do notice most of the guys who\Nare doing it are using the first finger
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.50,0:04:33.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most of the time. Not all of the time, but\Nmost of the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.65,0:04:41.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So just starting real slow. Remember\Nit's the arm. That's the position of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.56,0:04:51.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your whole arm is pushing down. \NTry it on different parts of the guitar.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.58,0:04:56.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it feels different. Like here, \NI end up doing little circles when I'm
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.21,0:05:00.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more down this end, I think because my\Nhand is further away from my body
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.56,0:05:05.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a little bit more awkward to pull \Nstraight down. It's possible, but if feels
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.24,0:05:08.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot more awkward than here where the\Nwhole weight of my arm is like doing a
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.62,0:05:15.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bicep curl. It's a lot easier to get it\Nnice that way.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.09,0:05:19.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It feels again different up at the top and\Nthere is another interesting thing that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.96,0:05:23.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happens as well, which is on\Nthe thinnest string. \N
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.10,0:05:27.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you just do it regular on the thinnest\Nstring, it just pulls the string off the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.59,0:05:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,end. So when you do it on the thinnest \Nstring, you have to be thinking of
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.00,0:05:37.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pushing it up a little bit more.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.11,0:05:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a great vibrato. It's got that \NFreddie King thing that seems to work
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.00,0:05:47.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for that style of older blues as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.78,0:05:50.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a really interesting vibrato.\NIt takes a bit of practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.97,0:05:54.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other thing you want to be aware of is\Nstring noise. I'm doing some stuff here
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.90,0:05:58.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with my pick hand, which I should \Nexplain. When I'm doing it on the second
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.50,0:06:05.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,string, this hand, my third finger\Nis grabbing the thinnest string.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.12,0:06:10.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's just touching the thinner string.\NAnd my pick is resting on the third string
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.22,0:06:16.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Cuz if I take that hand away, you get all\Nof these other notes ringing out.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.37,0:06:22.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The strings on either side because they're\Ngetting touched by the motion of your hand
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.17,0:06:27.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You get all of that stuff. So you want ...\Nnice clean notes. I'm just using the pick
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.56,0:06:32.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the third string and either my second\Nor third finger on the thinnest string
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.100,0:06:35.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To keep everything nice and quiet.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.79,0:06:42.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On the thinnest string, I'm using my pick\Nand the edge of my thumb is resting on
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.77,0:06:50.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of the strings, really making sure \Nthat those other strings stay quiet.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.53,0:06:55.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Kind of an important part of this type of\Nvibrato. It is important in the other
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.79,0:07:03.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,traditional style of vibrato as well but\Nit's not as obviously bad.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.59,0:07:07.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I hope you have a bit of fun with the\Nwhole arm vibrato. I love it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.37,0:07:11.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's great and I wish that I had\Nstarted practicing it 15 years ago instead
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.37,0:07:13.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a couple of years ago.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.12,0:07:17.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Have fun. Take care. I'll see you for \Nanother lesson very soon. Bye bye.
