As we work on breathing through call and response, we're also sharpening our techniques. Last night Joe gave a quick review of the four main Chordal Effects:
- head or hand shake (you'll hear this a lot from Little Walter)
- tongue shake
- rapid vamping
- dirty tremolo - 4 draw with a little bit of 5 (this is a classic Big Walter sound)
Practice these over a play-along track - you should be able to play one of these inhale techniques for 4 bars.
