Modern Blues Harmonica - Warbles 2 (Gussow.046)

Moving outward from the basic 45 draw warble, Gussow (Satan and Adam harpist) demos six other useful warbles and talks about how to work them into your playing as you move through the 12-bar blues changes.

Hi Adam

Regarding the speed or warbling to a given rhythm you comment: ' ...in good players it's a kind of consistent ratio with the beat, which is uh... that's advance harp'. It might be particular to his style or even the exception to the rule, but I heard Kim Wilson warble like out of tempo but yet sounding cool. What do you think? Thanks

[KudzuRunner]

If it sounds cool, it is cool.

u make me want to play harmanica

[KudzuRunner]

Excellent! Go out and buy one. Play it hard. Repeat.

Hey thanks for all the advice. Is that throat vibrato or bent vibrato that you use as standard on the root 2 draw?

[KudzuRunner]

I'm not sure what "bent vibrato" is, but I always use throat vibrato. You'll notice that it's pretty smooth, rather than raspy. I talk in at least one of the early lessons how to achieve this.

Out of interest, Mark Hummel does a great bit of warbling, (possibly 45d 45b 34d, not sure) on his song The Blues is Here To Stay, at the start of the second half of the solo. My current favourite warble:)
