I've just been re-watching the Sonny Boy Williamson videos on youtube.
Every so often he puts the tips of the fingers of his right hand under
the top coverplate of his 12 hole Marine Band. Anyone figured out
exactly what he is doing? I've tried it (on my 12 hole Marine Band)
and best as I can figure it gives a sort of vibrato.
