Vibrato — One Finger at a Time
Four measures, one finger per measure: index (1), middle (2), ring (3), pinky (4). Each finger frets the same string (string 2, B) at its natural comfortable position and sustains vibrato for a full whole note. Most players have a strong ring finger vibrato and a nearly dead index or pinky — this exercise forces you to confront and train each finger individually.
