lil walter jacobs would steal licks from shakey and claim indignation when later confronted. Big Walter's probably the best musician Muddy Waters ever fired.
@IsaacRnR Use a G Harp, I've copied this video to death, each verse, replicating what he does with his hands.. not as easy on the low G harp. I love the verse which starts at 2:10, he does a hand thing and then does a cool look to the band at the side. At 2:45 he signals off to the right that he's finishing up.
@Horwellston Oh, yeah, also.. It's hard for me to tell, and I can only speak from personal experience.. but I think people listening hear hand warbles a bit more than the player.
This is my favorite Big Walter video of all time. I can't count the number of times I've listened to it and still blows me away! Thanks for posting.

@IsaacRnR Oh yeah, playing into a microphone like that does 'bring out' the hand effects a bit.
