Some hours ago Syn uploaded a video on instagram playing gypsy jazz. What I would like to criticise is his vibrato. Synyster is an amazing guitarist but I think that his acoustic vibrato is behind his abilities.Also for my ear would be better if he hit the high e string a little lighter. Again I insist I want to criticise as for us and syn to be better.Best regards

I think vibrato is simply a matter of taste (to my ear it sounds pretty good). As for the high E string I don’t think he nescescarily hits it to hard all the time just maybe that one time he broke the string. Also remember that he’s playing gypsy jazz and in gypsy jazz you hit strings hard to create the sound and the volume.

I mentioned the high e one only because I thought it was buzzing. After listening to the video again I realised it is just louder compared to the other strings sometimes maybe due to dynamics.As for Jake’s comment this is what makes us humans as you said
