Throat Vibrato
« on: March 02, 2014, 02:06:26 PM »
Happy to receive criticism on my throat-vibrato practice piece in the open mic (Big D Boogie), if anyone cares to venture. 

It's early days yet and this piece is a real test as my vibrato becomes shaky and starts to break up the higher tempos and heavy loads, so I'll be returning to this piece to chart progress.  They say it takes years.

I can do a subtle jazzy vibrato, but that deep-pan bluesy thing they do is what I covert.  Specifically, you to change to a different technique on the bent notes e.g. 3' and 3''.  Here I've copped out and used hand-wobbling on those notes, and I can feel and hear it's weak.

Give it time mon.   It's a practice thing.   I'm getting happier with my low end vibrato, but my upper end ain't there yet.....Keep at it.....
