"BRYAN BILLHIMER: In this next clip, we're going to talk about vibrato. So, let's take a look at our guitar tab notation.

So, here's what a vibrato looks like on guitar; 15th fret, like it said, B string and we're going to shake this note up and down as fast as we can basically. So, you pick the note then you shake it up and down. So, I'm just pulling up and down on the string. And that's vibrato."
