Tremelo
Hi there, new guy here I've been playing for about 18 months (self taught) and started the LOA program a few days ago wanting to learn TB and improve my playing strictly a pucker player until now. I see the TB song ex. #1 gets right into tremelo I also want to learn that but can't find any instruction or tips on how to delvope that skill. Is there something here on tremelo/vibrato ? And I'm not sure what the difference is between them.
Thanks
Thanks Dave, the lesson dedicated to tremelo is exactly what I was looking for great explations and visuals. Another bonus is ex 1 is pretty much 1st chours of walk with me (kinda sneaky) just kidding it's great lesson. But I do have concern since I've been practing TB I've devolped a soreness in right side of jaw kinda of the hinge point for opening/closing. Is this normal and I just need to get those mucels stronger ? I practiced probably 6-7 hrs over last 3 days. I never felt that or fatigue when puckering. I know I still need to learn to relax as sometimes I still get tight in the shoulders when I'm thinking too much.

Great, I'm glad you found it useful Link. The mouth is larger (for tone purposes this is important) when tongue blocking. So, yes, you got it, focusing on being relaxed is important. The tension will go away with time, but you'll need to focus on it right now, especially for extended practice sessions.
Hello Link.
This is covered in Blues Harmonica Fundamentals (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/blues_harmonica_fundamentals). If you haven't been through this lesson, you'll want to do that lesson now.
There is another lesson dedicated to the subject of both tremolo (change in volume) and vibrato (change in pitch) here https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/tremolo_and_vibrato
I'll look forward to receiving your submission.
