From Marty Music.

Guitar vibrato feeling stiff or messy? Learn the two most iconic vibrato styles—BB King’s pivot style and Clapton’s floating technique—with pro guitarist @JakeBaynes in this deep-dive vibrato lesson.

Hey what’s up you guys—Marty here introducing my buddy Jake Baynes, a killer guitarist and teacher out of Nashville. Straight outta Berklee and bringing that fresh energy, Jake breaks down two essential vibrato techniques that’ll take your soloing from stale to soulful.

What You’ll Learn:
⦿ How to do the BB King “pivot” vibrato with control
⦿ The Clapton “floating” method for the high strings
⦿ Why hand position + pressure is everything
⦿ Tips for integrating vibrato into your scales and solos

Jake also put together a FREE Licks Course that expands on these concepts—grab it below and keep that expressive playing going: https://www.jakebaynesguitar.com/jakes-licks-vol-1-signup

Thanks for watching, and don’t forget: keep your vibrato smooth, not shaky—no need to fret over it! 😉
