    I loved harmonica from the moment I played it. The sound was the coolest, it was small enough to fit in the pocket and my hands, and I could play it right away. But the sound that kept me in the game was Paul Butterfield’s throat vibrato. It was deep, sobbing, guttural and sorrowful and I had to have it! It didn’t come right away but, through work and experimentation, I created a vibrato that satisfied me as much as Paul’s.

  • @Ptinid
    @Ptinid 5 месяцев назад

    Thank you. I’ve not quite got it yet, but much closer. This was the most useful video yet. I found I could get closest on 1 draw using your method and thinking about bending without dropping my jaw. It then transferred kinda ok to 2 draw. Still tremolos on the higher holes, but i am getting there!

  • @brobinson8614
    @brobinson8614 3 года назад

    I've played for years but never bothered with the throat vibrato , but because of my laziness it's definitely held me back,. I'm reasonable ok in all areas except this, but lacking that vibrato makes me sound like I'm missing that real professional edge, So I regret not learning earlier. This Video is the best explanation of this method I've seen yet! thank you

    • @Harmonicacom
      @Harmonicacom  3 года назад +1

      Yeah I'm right there with you. This rich throat vibrato is still something I can't really do, but I agree, this is the best video I've found on ;the subject.

    • @brobinson8614
      @brobinson8614 3 года назад

      @@Harmonicacom Yeah and I think the key is having your tongue in that bend position the entire time, while the air flow change from the throat pulsating has to be at the right amount that it only bends the reed in the harmonica on the powerful part of the throat pulse and not bending it on the less powerful part of the draw. If that makes sense. I haven't achieved it yet so I'm not 100% sure

    • @Blue_3rd
      @Blue_3rd 5 лет назад +2

      hadesoffff No. I used to but now I have a pro teacher and he can tell when I’m moving my tongue to do vibrato, he says not to do it, it sounds weak and thin. Beter to control the air flow with the throat. It takes ages to get it because each reed is slightly different so you have to modify the technique for different notes.

    Dang I’ve had this all wrong. I guess I was just pulsating the note and thought I was doing it correctly. I didn’t realize it’s a change in the pitch. I should have put two and two together when it seemed to come easy to me I thought. That usually doesn’t happen. I should have known I wasn’t doing it correctly right off the bat. That never happens.
