re: throat vibrato

[alciere@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Throat vibrato=pitch modulation like Howling Wolf and James Cotton really 
adds some tension to a song 

Throat and/or diaphram tremulant (that's Paul Butterfield's term)volume 
modulation-like Carey Bell and Little Walter do so well. Adds some rhythmic 
complexity to the music as well as some tension. 

I'm just now getting comfortable with this, but some of the good harp 
players seem to just keep the vibrato/tremulant on through out the whole 
song and I can only turn it on for certain notes. With Juke, Little Walter 
seems to have some modulation on most of the notes. Between the tongue 
sweeps, the slurs, the vibratos, the tremulants, the head shakes, etc, 
there's a lot more going on then  just notes.
