First and foremost… If you’re not cool with bending, in general, and your vibrato on un-bent notes isn’t happening yet…
Then adding vibrato to a note you are trying to bend is probably going to end in disaster 🙁
But if you can bend, and you can do some vibrato normally, then there’s a simple trick, or point-of-view shift that makes it work…
Here’s how it’s done:

I had to watch the video twice, because I was too focused on that gorgeous LP Gold Top the first time I watched.
Thanks learned something new today,
Good presentation Griff.. I struggle more with muting the strings then bends
Like……Wow!
You really lost me on the Banamasa lick
I have a hard time keeping other strings quiet? I trying muting with right hand and different things but this always seems to be a problem more than vibrato
I never do this. I always slide up to the E and do a regular vibrato on that. At the end of the night my fingers feel a lot easier that way and it sounds just as good if you do it properly.
I think I need a pedal for this…….
Hi..Why those chickens laying down, thy don’t play the blues!
Hi..I guess ,blues with no vibrato,is like a boneless chicken farm,it sounds like jazz
Good one Griff. It is harder than it looks so it may take awhile. I’ll work on it.
Thaanks for giving us the “finger” … LOL Good presentation… wish my fingers would cooperate.
Thanks! I have struggled with this, now I have a better idea on how to get this technique down.
Great tricks, it really help me with the opening solo of the Thrill is gone and I was focussing of pushing up with high tension, while pushing down with your technique is equivalent with tension release…Thanks a lot, you made my day Griff
This technique produces such a sweet sound. Thanks
I struggle with this, I have to shake the whole guitar or grab the whammy bar.😎
