This makes sense to me: the feedback is based on a circular reaction to the note which builds on itself, so changing the note destroys that cycle. How are you finding that vibrato helps ? I must be missng something .. | |

By keeping the string vibrating against the fret you can fine tune the pitch as the resonance sets in to find the right frequency. Even at low volume, with good compression and a sensitive guitar, you can get the right notes to grab hold. I was holding a conversation with mine feeding back as we talked over it one day. Made me love that particular guitar. | |

Creating a feedback loop is simply a matter of transferring the vibration from the guitar to the amp and back, and can result from touching the guitar's body to the speaker cabinet, effectively coupling the vibrations of the two. Then it's a matter of finding the resonating frequencies for the guitar; Hopefully they'll be in the key of the song. Sometimes they aren't, but when they are is when the fun happens. | |
