The way Kevin described vibratos and how to mute them doesn't add up to me. When I see my heroes doing it, it seems they have their 1st through 3rd fingers all on the string they are bending for extra "strength". I'm not seeing how they are doing any muting, they can just do it.

When I do it the "regular" way, I use my 2nd and 3rd fingers, and bar the 1st and 2nd strings with my 1st finger. Its the only way I can get a good bend/vibrato to sound...
