I like all sorts of vibrato. slow, fast, anxious, tremelo pull off. the dead on note then becomes interesting and expressive.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/slide-vibrato-2/#post-239198 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/slide-vibrato-2/#post-239103 Sat, 21 Apr 2007 01:41:49 +0000 then start the vibrato. In an interview one of the Campbell brothers (I believe it was) said that you got to nail the note with a "steady hand" before starting the vibrato, or else it would sound 'whimpy' and lose the power..

Catdog...I know how that one goes. 8)

Sacred Steel...I like that sharpish vibrato..but it works best if you keep traveling on up rather than return to the original note...it produces a great straining chihuahua sound and as Steinar says leads to some discomfort which then needs resolved..and that's tha' blues :D

adios,

Great image Steinar...just great :D ( which one is Ren and which one is Stimpy again ?)

Another thing to watch in sliding to the note and giving it some chihuahua is slowing down to play the vibrato (basically because of uncertainty about where the note is..see post above) and losing the flow of the tune.

adios,

Something that Leslie-playing organ players do routinely that slide players should listen to and consider emulating is varying the rate and depth of their vibrato (as the organ player does by flipping the Lesley switch between fast and slow speeds.)]]> Slide and Alternate tunings Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/slide-vibrato-2/#post-238561
