"So right now we're going to learn a basic hand vibrato exercise. This is an exercise that I first learned when I first started doing hand vibrato and really what it's just practicing is the movement and playing very slowly.

You want to hear a little bit of a smear when you're are playing because actually when you're playing vibrato you're playing a little bit of the note actually even under the note that you're playing to get the sound out. So when you're doing hand vibrato you were doing a very fast version of this. There's other types of vibrato that you can use so next we're going to learn the others."
