Hi folks, I am trying to develop a "continuous" vibrato, going from note to note without stopping the vibrato. That's really damn hard lol but you have to give it your best. Hope you guys like this short video. If any of you has tips on how to vibrate like that, please share

Juan.

Great job Juan. Didn't see the continuous vibrato except for on your first finger from time to time but that doesn't matter a bit. You're improving with big strides.
I know it's hard but I'd like to see the pinky closer to the fingerboard. Maybe someone should invent a pinky curve enhancer....
Congratulations on your great progress.

Very nice vibrato.

Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.
