[Harp-L] re help with a few blues techniques



Fred Wrote
Sonny boy Williamson - he does this riff all over his songs that I
also hear in a lot of other blues songs. Sounds like a draw on hole 2
with hand tremolo effects, then bends down and does a fast hole 2 blow
then a hole 1 draw. Anyways, I'm not sure if this is quite it,
specifically I'm trying to tab out All My Love in Vain for myself.
Also how does he do those amazing wah-wah effects? Is it just an
absolute control over the air tightness when he holds it? I'm sure he
uses techniques that I've yet to touch upon.

I know the lick you are referring to. He varies it sometimes, but my take is
2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 3b 2b 1d 1d
or
2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 3b 2b 1d 1d 1d
you need to do this with  tongue block, with a good slap on the 3b to
achieve the accent
the wah wahs sound like a tight cup being released quickly, it would be nice
to find some footage of him playing it
