Must you apply vibrato to every frikin’ note? Are you really feelin’ It and putting soulful emotion into your sustained notes, or are you just finger banging them out of sheer habit?
One of the great things about YouTube is picking things up from other players, and I’ve learned so many valuable techniques and licks from random posters...But one thing I’ve noticed about a bunch of intermediate players, and one that has made me re-examine my own playing, is this seeming inability to refrain from wiggling the hell outta every note in this spastic 16th+ note vibrato.
So in an effort to grow as a human being and a guitar player, I’m really trying to make a conscious effort to cut that sh!t out...or at least limit the behavior.
The band I’m in now plays some really down-tempo songs that has made me even more aware of it in myself, so I kinda made a mental note to either slow that stuff down or only do it like, every other time, and I think it has improved the way I sound.
How about you guys? Are you really expressing yourself, or are you spazzing?
