How does one go about developing ultra fast vibrato like some of the older cats played with. Like Mendez, James, Clarke, etc......

I always learn things of that nature the best using the "monkey see monkey do" philosophy. Forget the technical part, just sound like what they sound like.

My guess would be that those older guys used a "head vibrato" to get that fast vibrato. It's typically a "trailing end" type of vibrato. I used a head vibrato when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's. I was able to get a pretty good copy of Harry's sound using this approach. You can probably get a fst vibrato with the hand as well, although I've never used this approach. I switched to a lip vibrato in HS/College as I thought I could achieve a more contemporary sound. It's tough to get a very fast vibrato with the lip however. Unless you're trying to do a tribute to those guys, that fast vibrato is dated and I can't think of anyone who uses it today.
