Guitarists with awesome vibrato technique.

Some guitarists have vibrato down so well that it seems superhuman. Carlos Santana and Prince can bend a note back and forth so well that the guitar sounds like a violin. Who else plays like this?

Mick Ronson does some stuff on the Bowie albums (particularly Man Who Sold The World and the live Santa Monica '72 semi-bootleg) on a Les Paul which I would've sworn was impossible without a wiggle stick.

IMHO, the hands-down best vibrato technique belongs to Gary Rossington. His technique (which he copied from Kossoff) is amazing. His vibrato is like the sultry breath of a lover in your ear during the throes of passion.

 

Angus Young is right up there as well. His style is completely different, but his vibrato is like a man connected to a, well, live wire. Hard, fast, and spot on. Kinda grabs you by the short-and-curlies and takes you for a ride.
