"Hi, I'm Mike Lais. And on behalf of Expert Village, I bring you soloing tips and techniques. Vibrato-this is one musical aspect that a lot of string players use. In fact, they all should use, anywhere from the orchestra up to your garage band that you're playing in. And this will really help your notes sing, just like as a singer would do when they hit that long note that they're holding, and then they start to just kind of wave it around a little bit.
