Which guitar players have the best vibrato in your opinion?

[@cpm5689]

YOU do!

Wylde has really wide vibrato. Vai and Friedman have great vibrato too. There are many. Great video!

[@Boleskinebeatz]

At one end of the scale Eddie Van Halen and at the other David Gilmour...both as effective it very different ways.

[@dethuiskoker]

Malmsteen & Gary moore

Bravo! When I was teen, first learning guitar, my older cousin, who was a pro, gave me an afternoon-long guitar lesson that was transformative for my playing. The first thing he brought to my attention, after hearing me play, was that my vibrato was out of time. Totally ear-opening moment! Great to see you give this issue attention. -Tom

Wow, I must confess that it had never occurred to me to think about vibrato being in sync with the song tempo. Thank you Tom.

FINALLY!! I’ve been trying to explain this to fellow guitarists for years, and falling on deaf ears. If one’s vibrato doesn’t mesh in with the rhythm then it always sounds frantic. I’ve heard guitarists who would otherwise be good players, but their vibrato makes listening to them like chewing on aluminum foil !!!!

I really like the 16th note vibrato! :)

[@tomhessmusiccorp]

[@theeasterling3383]

That’s exactly what I was wondering about. ZakWylde wild vibrato

[@Guitar387]

Eight note sounded the sweet spot to me at the faster tempo.

[@Guitar387]

I’ve been playing 30 years and recently realised my vibrato sucks , I’m working on it now.

[@JustRockMySoul]

Really wondering what bands and music Tom is listening to.
