Hey gang, this will be a tutorial about how to do bending and vibrato however, as this is my first go at video, I want to get some feedback.

This is an avi file of about 8MB. I have checked the link and it is good as is the sound.

This is a hot-rodded Gibson LP through a POD Pro set to Soldano emulation with the EQ tweaked a bit recorded with a D1200, exported to SONAR and synched with the video. The whole thing was exported as a MW file.

my computer is being evil and there's no sound anymore all of a sudden, but your fingers playing on the gfuitar looked cool.

I just checked the audio and it is OK, thanks for the compliments.

What Im really after is knowing wether people can see me adding vibrato after bending up either one or two half steps !

I was just wondering if you could see how I was doing the vibrato as I intend to use this or something like it in a lesson.

Your video turned out really nice. I need to get better at adding vibrato after I do a bend. It's pretty hard though because there's alot more tension on the string, just something I need to work on I guess, but it definately adds that extra touch to the notes.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

I tried that and the amount of shadow produced was horrible !!

It really obscured what my fingers were doing which sort of defeated the object of the exercise.

Here's a dumb question.
Would it be better to show video lessons from the players perspective?
ie, looking down on the fretboard
I just remember last time I tried to learn a riff from a video, I ended up turning the tv upside down.

I tried that also and kept falling over !

Seriously I was just trying to get the best angle for showing what my fingers were doing, like wether I was squeezing then together into a fist or pushing out when applying vibrato.

You need to mount a helmet-cam on one of your hamsters and sit him on your shoulder while your jamming. All the while sending the video feed to your video card.
