True, but vibrato isn't all about speed. ;)



Like I said, I use slightly different techniques depending on whether I'm vibratoing a bent note or not. You really don't wanna be bending and vibratoing by pushing your fingers, especially not at a live gig under hot stage lights. You be guaranteed to slip at some point. Quite embarrassing in the middle of a solo. :o
