Hi everybody,

I guess I am not the first one to ask this but I do not know how to look for this effect that I do not know how it is called. I am wondering how the "vibrato" that can be heard at 3:54 in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdUkGV7pGzg can be done. It can be heard around 3:59 too. I have heard a similar thing in some Little Walter's recordings but I do not know how this is done.

Thanks you very much,

Felip.

It's a kind of tongue flutter. You alternate between a single note and a chord by rapidly slapping and lifting the tongue on the face of the harmonica.

Thanks! I have already found a youtube video showing how to do it.

Here's a "Tongue Flutters and Stutters" lesson from Jason:
