Vibrato

Vibrato is a musical effect that adds depth and expression by subtly varying the pitch of a note. In guitar playing, this can be achieved by bending the string back and forth, using a vibrato bar (whammy bar), or with a dedicated vibrato pedal. Unlike tremolo, which modulates volume, vibrato modulates pitch—creating a shimmering, vocal-like quality that brings notes to life. Whether used gently for soulful bends or more dramatically for psychedelic textures, vibrato is a powerful tool that adds emotion, movement, and personality to your sound.
