Re: [Harp-L] tab question

Notated music will simply use the word "vibrato." 

Flutter tongueing may mean something different to different musicians. It has a 
standard meaning among Non-harmonica wind players (trumpet, flute, etc.). They 
 actually blow a raspberry - fluttering the tongue inside the lips. However, 
some harmonica players use this term in a nonstandard way, to mean rapidly 
lifting the tongue on and off the harp to create a pulsating series of chords. I 
call this a tongue hammer, and indicate it with a series of asterisks - *** 

Growling can be accomplished a variety of different ways. Maybe the best thing 
to do is write "growl" over the place where you do it.

Subject: [Harp-L] tab question

I once attended a simanar by Adam Gussow and  said something that really opened 
my eyes. He said that you just can't write soul. I think there are somethings 
that cant' be  written in Tab. I write my own tabs but most do not mean anything 
to another player.
How do you write vibratos, growls and fluters? I can't find any examples.
