  If you are playing a slow blues riff then you may want to slow down and make a wide circular motion with the string, or if you are playing a fast rock lick you may just ad a fast narrow vibrato to accent the final note in a run.
  
  It is possible to add vibrato using any finger you play with, but it is most commonly done with the first and third finger on the fret hand. Using your first finger is a bit trickier. I usually use my first finger for fast vibratos similar to BB Kings style. I will literally lift my other finger far off the fret board, press down and just "vibrate" the string as fast and as open as possible. That's funny the work vibrato is a lot like vibrate, because that's actually what you are doing vibrating the string.
  
  When you combine vibrato with string bending, harmonics and legato techniques you begin to discover the musician inside of you. Playing guitar is about discovering your inner flow of creativity and having the techniques to be able to express them. Vibrato is one of the more personal and effective techniques. As with all aspect of playing guitar you need to experiment with these techniques, and most of all have fun!
  
  No matter you have been learning guitar for a few months or you are just a guitar beginner, the below tips will be helpful to you. You will know the correct method to hold a pick. You may think that is something fundamental but doing this thing correctly will enhance your guitar music quickly.
  
  Picks were originally made of animal bone or tortoise shell. They are now mainly made of plastic. There are different sizes and shapes. I recommend guitar beginners to choose to use medium size picks. They are easier to play with. Of course, it is not the rule of thumb. You should experiment different sizes and shapes of picks to find out the most suitable picks for yourself.
  
  You may have more than 10 picks at home for playing guitar. It is common for many guitarists because picks are easy to lose and fray. And they are cheap as well.
  
  Let me tell you the right way to hold a pick now. In the following tips, I assume that you are a right handed guitar player. You use your right hand to hold the pick.
  
  First take out your right hand and extend the palm facing your left hand side. Slightly grip the fist and place the thumb alongside the right side of the first knuckle of your index finger. Then put the pick into the gap between your thumb and index finger. Do not insert too much or less. Just leave the tip which is enough for you to strum the strings. Your aim is to produce clear and sharp sound. The pick may easily slip off your fingers at the beginning. Do not be frustrated. You can acquire it with more practice.
  
  For the rest of your fingers, there are two ways you can position them. You can either keep griping them or let them open. I am used to extend the fingers. I would like to highlight other three ways to hold the picks. lead guitar
