👉 Key Points:
Focus on the DIP joint movement, not sound production
Initiate the movement with the bicep, not the wrist or finger
Keep the wrist straight; avoid unnecessary movement

🕒 Time Investment:
I recommend dedicating one to two minutes during your warm-up routine to this exercise. Practicing vibrato incorrectly can lead to slower progress in other areas of your playing. This exercise is not about achieving a vibrato instantly. Instead, it's a foundational step to prepare your hand for the vibrato technique. By dedicating a few minutes daily, you'll build a strong foundation, making the official vibrato learning process smoother and less frustrating.
