>Personally, I try to avoid a lot of headshaking.  It should be done in
small doses.  I saw a great player a couple months ago from a band that
plays pretty much full time.  He used a headshake in almost every verse he
played.  It was very distracting for me since everything he played around
it was so full of tone and colorful.  It was kind of a let down.

 I have had a lot of trouble with my back and neck, so I avoid shaking my
head for head shakes. Despite professional advice to the contrary I've
found I get an effective and smooth "headshake"/warble using my hands, my
head and neck remain relaxed but still.  

Richard Hunter's headshake/warbles are crisp and precise - he's really paid
his dues, and it shows.  
  Ask him how he does it.
