'''Vibrato ''' is a simple concept but a difficult technique to master. It involves moving the pitch of a note up and down repeatedly, to give a sustained note a bit more emphasis or livlinessliveliness. The actual pitch of the note is in constant motion, moving up and down but never staying absolutely still.
Vibrato is commonly written in tab by the tilde character: ''~''. Sometimes vibrato is indicated by a ''v'', but more commonly you will see several ''v'''s or a series of /'s and \'s which means wide vibrato.
==== Finger Vibrato ====
Finger vibrato bends and straightens the fretting finger(s) to bend and release the string. It has a similar motion to pulling a trigger.
==== Wrist Vibrato ====
Wrist vibrato rotates the wrist using the index finger knuckle or thumb as a pivot point to bend and release the strings.
==== Arm Vibrato ====
Arm vibrato moves the entire forearm at the elbow to move the position of the hand as it holds the neck. This is generally not recommended.
