Little Walter Study
I was just wondering from which songs the 3rd position-licks are pulled?
thanks.
that's what I thought. the openinglick of the 4th chorus is from that's it then. I was listening to it the other day and it made me think of your study song. I really love that song.
I already figured out that the first 3 choruses were from Thunderbird.
I'd really like to figure out those chromatic licks he uses. Does he use fake octaves there?
And it seems to me he uses warbles on the chromatic on that song as well, am I right?
Thank you very much once again!
Little Walter ONLY used fake octaves... never real octaves... that was a George Smith trait. What's a warble?
LOL I always call the shake a warble. Lots of other players call it a warble.
To me it sometimes hard to really hear what he's doing because of all the reverb the put on his harp sound on the Thunderbird-track.
Ah... that's what I though... just wanted to make sure. Yes, I call it a shake, though technically we should call it a TRILL... maybe I'll change what I call it some day! ;-)
I'm not hearing any warbles. I'm hearing tremolo and flutter tongue. On the diatonic he uses the side-flutter, though interestingly I'm hearing a standard flutter here... I may be wrong.
Mostly "I Got To Go" and "That's It"
