Little Walter was a real master of warbles as you said. I heard "Forty days and forty nights" where he played with Muddy and I was like " WOW !!! " amazing warbling by Walter
Hi Adam. Wow that´s interesting. I have always been told not to move the harp, only my head in a "head roll". I saw Dan Gage´s class and he advocates moving the harp and/or the head. Useless fact:- this technique is known as "tremolo" in Spanish. I don´t know what it´s called in England as I started learning harp in Spain:) I like moving the harp, it´s faster and seems more accurate. Now I don´t feel so bad moving the harp so thanks!
Tony (Little Sun) Glover's "How to play Blues Harp", man that's the book I learned from way back in the mid 70's. Kick fuckin' ass. I'm so glad you mentioned it in an a different video which had the comments disabled. Soooo keep on warbling.
I can only warble using your grip but I can only use hand varbratos using text book style. I gotta learn how to juggle. Throygh it up and switch grips.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that doesn't like (or isn't great at) the head-shake warble. Makes my eyes hurt :) Nice to have the "hand warble" validated by a pro!
Great video once again, and yep you are so right the Warbles is a crucial thing to learn, and hehe the word Party trick made me laugh, because it's so true.
Warble was the first thing I did on my harp, and I went "hey look at me I'm playing the blues man" to my friends 8-)
it's great that you show it Acousticly, and not only amplified, it makes it a bit easier to see what's going on.
If it weren't midnight here, I would pull out my Tin Sandwhich and pratices some warbles right now 8-)
Are you asking if I could create tabs for the various licks I play in this video? Just say the word and I'll work some up and offer them for sale (at a modest price) on my website.....
nice vid, that bit you were getting to at the end i think is key for people w/o access to live lessons, that bit of theory on how to actually pull things together and be able to groove, books of tab dont have that :)
This is one "devilish" video. =p

@GuitarOcarina64: You draw the 34 and 45 draw warble. You blow the 45 blow warble. :)

cheers - the advice you give at 6:25 about right hand and left hand pushing back is really key - made the warble much more even!

ive always called this a controled shake.

I've heard players talk about a shake, but I never realized that warble and shake were the same thing.
