David's Tip of the Day: Shake, Flutter, Tremolo & Vibrato Frequency - Part 3

Okay, here were are... sorry about missing yesterday... blues harmonica land has been very busy! I analyzed the wave forms in "My Blues" with Pro Tools and found that the most common rhythm was 5 tremolo or flutter pieces per beat... a couple examples were 4.5... so this confirms that they are NOT fixed to a basic triplet rhythm. The shake was 6 pieces (6 combinations of 4 and 5) so this DOES confirm that the shake is fixed to the triplet (in this case sixteenth note triplet) rhythm. This was a fun project!
