    I do this on my harmonica. I learned in my Native American flute and I just do it on my harmonica, easily.

    Excellent tip! I was able to learn strong vibrato by using “Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh” on the inhale, really focusing on articulating between each pulse. It started really mushy and more like tremolo, but once I mastered breathing from the diaphragm, the thick vibrato made its way into the mix!

      That's exactly how it's done. Happy harping! 👋😁

      ​@tommyharmonika I wouldn't agree with that, yours isn't complete either in my humble opinion, it would be more like a long eeeeeehhhh not eh eh eh eh eh and while on the eeeeehhhhhhh add some throat job, that way if you really slow it down you'll realize you can keep going with an incredible vibrato, slow fast whatever once mastered.. but go really slow you'll realize the eh ehe heh eh eh isn't good at all
      Don't take it the wrong way, I'm just giving a real tip because I see everywhere just do eh eh eh which is wrong, when you do eh eh eh you dont have a continuousflow, and you dont have the throat involved.. doing a.throat vibrato... continuous eeeeeh at first then break it in eheheheh with the throat, but it keeps coming from the diaphragm continuously, air never stops coming, so saying start doing eh eh eh eh eh you see why you can never do it right

      @@michaelkral what are you on about? The Eh eh eh comes from the throat. The lower the note, the farther back the action needs to take place. Also, most seasoned players don’t use throat vibrato for slower legato playing, they use jaw and mouth. I have no issues doing throat or jaw vibrato, so I don’t know why you’re making claims about my abilities.

    When I try these techniques (make a sound like a goat / monkey / coughing / certain words to get that right embouchre), I always get a stacatto effect ... not the smooth wavy vibrato.

      @@Raj-ym4cu that's a very common thing to happen in the beginning. Possibly you're contracting your vocal chords a little too much. Throat vibrato is really hard to master, but your hard work will be rewarded!

    • @tommyharmonika

      Hi Andrew, you do it by using your vocal cords, kind of squeezing them together and relaxing again, then repeat again and again, while breathing in.

    Thanks. The hardest part for me is making the transition from tremolo to vibrato. It’s hard to find the sweet spot on some notes.
