Tips for vibrato for Tongue Blocking Study 1
Wed, 01/01/2020 - 17:07
Hello,
I've been training the score Walk With Me for a week now and I think I'm doing all right, having a lot of fun. My tone is quite good, but I really can't play a nice vibrato as is heard in the MP3 recordings. When I play the notes they are loud and flat, but when I hear the recording it sounds so relaxed and with 'soul'. Can you give me some tips on how to play with volume (how do I control it) and how to properly do the vibrato?
Hello tandeitnik. There is a more detailed lesson on tremolo here https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/tremolo_and_vibrato, I recommend you start with this.
In regards to controlling volume (dynamics), there is a lesson here https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/dynamics. You’ll find this lesson to both be fun, and help in the area of controlling your volume level.
Work on this for a bit and then send me a recording of your tremolo while playing the first chorus of Walk With Me. Having a recording is the best way for me to give you personalized tips for your playing.
