He's right about everything he's saying. But the fact that he can just mention someone he's heard play, then go and replicate that player's style AND sound so accurately, puts him on another level. To do from Coltrane and Stan Getz to Gene Ammons, then Ben Webster, and nail it each time....

@teejay5962 yeah dude I know how to do the texas wobble. But that definitely isn't it. I'm talkin' about the split tone, like the growly, almost gargly sound he gets. He only does it for a split second at a time

@cabe277 I think you might be talking about the Bb/Texas Wobble. You finger mid-range Eb, but you lift the third finger on the left hand while using gratuitous amounts of vibrato. You hear a LOT of it in the blues.

I really dig that split tone he did on the high Bb while playing like Hawk... Anyone know how he did that?

@cabe277 Good question. The effect Don is using at 7:39, 7:52, and 7:57 while demonstrating Hawk's sound is a growl, which he produces by humming while he plays. Thanks for asking!
