Let’s talk about vibrato.⁠

In order to do vibrato well, it’s important to understand what vibrato actually is.⁠

Vibrato is a small repeating bend that bends to the same pitch, releases to the same pitch and pulses at the same rhythm.⁠

In order to improve your vibrato, you can practice it to a metronome.⁠

Start with your metronome at a slow tempo, on the 1st beat hold the note, on the & of the 1st beat apply a small bend, on the 2nd beat release the bend to the original pitch, on the & of the 2nd beat reapply the bend, on the 3rd beat release the bend, on the & of the 3rd beat reapply the bend, on the 4th beat release the bend, on the & of the 4th beat reapply the bend.

Once you become comfortable with this exercise using 8th notes, you can take it up to 16th notes.⁠
