Flutter on eighth notes?
Sun, 03/15/2020 - 04:11
Hi David,
I'm practising Solo harmonica Study 2, Examples1.6 to 1.8, and there are many flutters on eighth notes. I cannot physically achieve that and to be honest I cannot hear the flutter when you play the examples. Any tips on how to achieve it? Many thanks.
Hello rdh61. You can leave them out if you wish, and use a throat tremolo on their place. In regards to getting your flutter faster, focus on the first slap (a flutter starts with a slap) and try to get your tongue going fast right away (HAL-La-La-La on the face of the harmonica for example).
