This video wasn't super helpful for me - vibrato's one of the few things I don't suck horribly at - but it did introduce me to the rest of your stuff, and that sweep picking video's helped me a ton. I'm not even in the same building as my guitars and I feel like I can sweep better!

Thanks dude!

I don't really need help with my vibrato but I watched anyway cause of the commentary.

"Wrist vibrato: your mom's favourite vibrato."

That side to side vibrato is really cool, I always wondered how fusion guys added vibrato to chords!

I have been using mostly wrist vibrato and I have improved it a lot over the years. I think I was using finger vibrato when I first started playing but it really annoyed me for the reasons you mentioned. Side to side vibrato I used when I was learning violin and saw only classical guitarists use it. A good idea for chords and I'll start working on that more. The circular vibrato however I had no idea about and it seems like a cool technique to use.
