The Ultimate Guide To Vibrato
Add life and expression to your guitar solos by crafting a killer vibrato technique
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Ultimate Guide To Vibrato
Vibrato is one of the most important techniques in the blues.
Like bending, vibrato helps you to break out of the rigid structure of the fretboard. It allows you to target all of the microtones that exist between your frets.
This helps you to mimic the human voice, and gives your playing a beautiful and expressive sound.
In short, crafting a nuanced vibrato technique will quickly and effectively improve the quality of all of your lead playing

My story
I have played guitar for over 20 years and have loved blues music for almost just as long.
5 years ago – after getting complacent with my practice and playing – I decided I wanted to push on and develop as a guitarist.
I couldn’t find the detailed, blues focused resources that I wanted to learn from online, so I created the Happy Bluesman.
I have since gone on to work with hundreds of blues guitarists all over the world through the Blues Club and 1-2-1 coaching.
