Magnus Olsson: vibrato the heart of guitar playing?

Magnus Olsson asks:

It is okay to think that it's not correct, a man should believe in what his heart tells him to believe (but in this case it is not a wise heart, becuase they are correct).
But don't take my word for it, just buy yourself a measuring tool (don't know what they are called in English, oscilloskop in Swedish) that measures mV (that is the output) and see for yourself.
Or take a talk with some technician at a sting factory or a pickup factory. Or talk to any really experience guitar tech out there.

Do you know how a guitar pickup work (I mean, really knows how it works)?

The difference is unarguably there in amount of output.

If you hear it or not is more subjective, all depending on your ears.
Some people hear if you change your pickup to one that are only 5 % different from the first one, some don't hear any difference if you change to one that 50 % different from the first one.
Some people hear a clear (and can tell them apart) difference between stainless steel frets and normal frets, some say it is impossible that there are any difference because they don't hear it.

No one has said that a louder string is better (I really don't think it is, unless on most acoustic, hollowbodies or semi-hollowbodies), but they a clearly different than not so loud strings.

I don't understand what you mean with this sentence.
"I can't think of any pickups that barely receive any of the vibrations from guitar strings."

And one question.
Have you really tried changing string size and not change anything ells and recorded the differences?
If you have and you don't hear a difference, are your amp a POD with distortion on max and very hard compression and tons of effects?

Vibrato is an area that I focus on when I'm looking at and listening too guitar video. You can have a boat load of string skipped arpeggios or play alternate pinking at 200nps.... but in my world if you vibrato is in anyway off.... well forget it... vibrato is the life and soul of guitar playing discuss
