It is the rapid back and forth wavering a note from slightly flat to slightly sharp.
The first poster talks of voice, and the second about how to achieve it on a FRETTED instrument (by slightly bending the string)
On a non-fretted instrument, like the violin family, you would produce it more by shaking the finger up and down the string - thus slightly lengthening and shortening the stop rather than by bending like you would on a guitar.
Hope this helps.
It is the steady shaking in singing voices. Think of an opera singer... on drawn out notes the vibrato is accentuated. Steady vibrato is a mark of experience in singers and it is very rarely in a singing voice that has not had practice.
Music term for the "shaking" of a fretted note..used to accentuate a note that maybe "bland".Basically fret a note,without bending string,"shake" your finger to make the note "sing"...an extremely common technique to accent a note.Usually combined with a bent note,or pinch harmonic ,just for example!! When you see BB King play and his hand shakes on a note...THAT's vibrato.For guitar example anyways...vibrato can be found anywhere...(singing ect)
VIBRATO= technique to accent a note singing,or otherwise
