A Quote by Gretchen Carlson

My vibrato was my weakness. With romantic pieces, I could be a lot more schmaltzy. My wider vibrato fit that.

When it comes to vibrato, a lot of people look at their hands when they do it. Which is pretty much of no use. Because vibrato is one of those things you have to hear. There are some guitar things where the visual is really useful, like seeing chord shapes or scale patterns. But vibrato isn't one of those things.

Paul Gilbert

These days, my main guitar amps have been Magnatone. They're beautiful. Magnatones have actual tremolo, which I recently learned about guitar amps. Often what guitar amps call vibrato is really just a volume Up and Down. But Magnatone has a true vibrato, which is pitch bending. And so, it's just a lush sound.

Ani DiFranco

If you've got a good vibrato, you can get away with a lot.

Sonny Terry

It [my vocal] didn't sound like what I wanted to hear; the vibrato isn't what I liked anymore. So I got myself to an ear, nose and throat guy who does a lot of work with singers, and I was hoping there was a big wart on my vocal cords or something and they could scrape it off and I could have the voice I wanted. But he said, "No, for 71, that's your voice."

Joan Baez

Vibrato is the badge of tonal maturity.

Gerald Fischbach

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.

Robin Trower

Well, first I'd want a better vibrato.

Terry Kath

Control of vibrato helps your musical expression.

James Galway

I can do the old hand vibrato just fine, but I like attacking the strings.

Ritchie Blackmore

I play in tune like a cello player and use legitimate vibrato. There are no tricks; it's just all in the hands!

Jaco Pastorius

In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.

Ritchie Blackmore

The first music that came to my ear was gospel... I used to sing 'Amazing Grace' with a very strong southern accent and a vibrato already at five years old.

Carmen Cusack

I am trying to build the biggest callus possible on my first finger so I can do one-finger bends and vibrato like B.B. King.

Paul Gilbert

The guitar is a funny instrument because you have bendable strings and distortion - there's a potential for noise. It is more exposing. Actually controlling the instrument, using proper vibrato, bending notes in tune, not fretting too hard, controlling the noise is a skill in itself that takes many years.

John Petrucci

For me it's the instrument. If I want to think of a flute and the state of the arts I hear a vibrato; I don't know what a flute is unless the person plays it for me

Morton Feldman

For me it's the instrument. If I want to think of a flute and the state of the arts I hear a vibrato; I don't know what a flute is unless the person plays it for me.
