I was sent a track yesterday that someone is finishing up for his record. His vibrato was so "tight" it had me fooled into thinking that it was a guitarist using a whammy bar, which it was not.
This reminded me of the tendency for players, especially new ones, to overdo the vibrato. This may be a result of the insecurity about the note(s) not being in tune. Be careful about overdoing the vibrato.
The techniques I have seen and used for vibrato is either rolling the bar, scraping it from side to side or a combination of both.
It's important to remember that the further up the neck you go, the narrower the vibrato is.
Also, like a voice, a note or chord usually starts with no vibrato and then comes the vibrato.
