Did I improve my vibrato?

Yo-Yo Ma (are you really asking? seriously?) is one of the world's greatest living cellists. If you watch movies, you've heard him. If you listen to anything other than rock, you've heard him.

Here's a clip:

Great playing! I'd have to agree that the fast "nervous" vibrato might be something to improve, but honestly it's a minimal issue. The fact is, you demonstrate a few different types of vibrato. I was worried that you can't do a slow, nice vibrato, but then at 2:20 you do a great one. Then there's a great passage at 2:38- 2:40. The E note you play at 2:38 has a tasteful subtle vibrato, and then when you hit the C at 2:40 you use the fast vibrato again. In those few notes you can really see, feel, and hear the difference in the two techniques. I think the fast version might be a bit better for me if it were a little wider, or a little slower.

I love Brian May's vibrato. Clapton has a nice repertoire of vibrato styles too. David Gilmore. Holding a note, especially a bent one like the 15th fret D bent to the E, without vibrato, then adding vibrato on gradually, either accelerating the depth or the frequency, is the holy grail for me.

Thanks dude! Actually the first vid I've posted here demonstrated many weaknesses in my vibrato techniques, I never focused on it in the past! People here convinced me to work on it, and I'm so grateful! I've got a lot of work yet of course, but thanks to you, I'm on the right way! This is the first time I'm complimented on my vibrato, I really appreciate Peace
