I am stuck on the breathing technique as described by Lee at 4.58 where he is getting an draw bounce tremolo from the neck.
Anyone mastered this style?

I'm far from mastering this style, but I have been working on this series for a while now and the way I understand it it is more an articulation than a tremolo, like saying hahaha on the in-breath, at least that's what he says at 5:05. But when in doubt mail him your question directly. I contacted him twice and got fast and helpful replies to my questions, he really seems to be a great person.

I sometimes use a technique like this. Although it's not quite a throat vibrato/tremolo it's produced in the same way using the same muscles.

If you check out Adams lesson on throat vibrato he says to start off producing a series of inward coughs. When developing throat vibrato you want to smooth them out. This technique is somewhere just before they are nice and smooth.

The key here also, is to producing them with the right timing.

If you haven't already developed a throat vibrato then you might find it tricky to reproduce this technique. If you have it should come quite easily.

Vibrato takes some time to develop as you need to build up and strengthen the right muscles over time. It's not something that you'll get over night.
