middle

I don't find any one finger easier than another. I can get the widest vibrato from my 2nd and 3rd fingers as I think most people can. But they are all trained to do it. I am so used to it I do it when playing piano which is so stupid :)

all

Left ring finger

On guitar, I cheat and use three fingers :) It's easier to get more power in the bending that way.

The best vibrato is gotten by your ring finger if you bend, supported by your index and middle finger. It's usually a full step up and then vibrato. The other type of vibrato, like B.B. King, uses the index finger and does not include bending or a slight bend to pitch 1/2 step up. Like a flat third to a third on the G string when playing a pentatonic scale for instance. Good example is my own blues playing: http://www.myspace.com/texassouthernblues Hope y'all like it, more guitar on 12 bar blues, the other song has a lot of slide. I will also add that I even use my middle finger sometimes, like on the B string on the root note without a bend. that allows me to play in that box easier.

My middle finger. But I'm a lousy player, so that may not mean anything.

my 3rd finger. I hate doing vibrato with my 4th finger.
