"Moving the guitar back and forth in front of micophone creates "vibrato" at the mike via the Doppler effect. "
I don't think it can be doppler effect. In doppler the sound goes down in pitch as the source moves away from you. There is no way to raise the pitch in the doppler effect. The video shows the pitch going up as the guitar goes away and this cannot be explained by doppler effect. I think! But I'm open to being shown as mistaken, as I so often am... |

The effect can both lower and raise pitch. Also your interpretation of the video nah. If still in doubt pick up your guitar and hold it out at ear level with the face of guitar facing you at about a foot and a half away. Puck a string (4th string a good choice) and quickly bring the guitar in closer to your head. You will hear the pitch rise. Vise versa when moving the guitar quickly away.

That's Pierre's Model F-based signature guitar. He played his original "Old Lady" guitar, which is what Lowden now calls an "O" for decades, then got this one designed to have a slightly smaller guitar - easier on the shoulders. But more recently than this video, he's gone back to the larger guitar, sometimes touring with the Old Lady, but there's also a newer Bensusan model that is the full-sized O, basically a copy of his original.
The F model is a nice guitar (I have one). Off Topic: I just ran across a video with Lance Allen the other day demoing the sustain on this guitar, which is fun: When I saw Pierre recently, he was using a strap wrapped around his back, as opposed to over his shoulder, which supports the guitar for this type of neck movement/bend more than the approach of holding the guitar as he's showing here. For yet another vibrato technique that some may find odd-looking, Laurence Juber often uses a "virtual whammy bar" effect. It's basically pushing on the top with your forearm, but looks like you're using an electric guitar whammy bar - sort of. It is kind of funny to watch, but when I saw LJ a few weeks ago, he was also doing Windmills, so I'm not sure he thinks that's a negative.

I think I was thinking of speed of light not sound..... However, tried the 4th string thing and I can't hear any pitch raise. I do hear a different tone as the guitar moves but not pitch. I'll try some more but would really appreciate it if some others could try and see what they hear. Sound travels at what, 350 metres a second (?) ...can I really affect that in a foot distance and arm movement? I'm not convinced yet despite nearly always being wrong and I also think the guitar in the video is moving away from the mic when pitch goes up, how does that fit with doppler? Genuine interest, not trying to just be argumentative. Nick |

When I’m playing a song that needs vibrato I just step on my BOSS TR2 Tremolo pedal.

I've used this to get a touch of tremelo at the end of a song, while I'll use my fingers to get the vibrato (as it's more easily controlled).

I've played the main theme of that many years ago, completely forgot about that technique.
