the no vibrato challenge

Vibrato is a powerful tool, but it should be used intentionally. Different players have different styles—B.B. King’s shake, Clapton’s subtle touch—but the key is control. Tom Butwin suggests a few exercises to build awareness, tone, and touch.

The goal? Find a balance—don’t overdo it, but don’t avoid it completely. Try it out and see how it changes your playing!
