David's Tip of the Day: Improvising - Tremolo/Vibrato, Part 3 (Choice)

Posted Mon, 09/29/2014 - 07:00 by David Barrett Admin

Current blues harmonica players that can perform the vibrato well (Kim Wilson for example), choose not to use it to sound more classic. Since players like Little Walter, Big Walter Horton and George "Harmonica" Smith used tremolo, if a player is inspired by those players, they'll commonly choose to use their approach to tremolo as well.
