Hi Grant - one way that helped me out is this: start with a tremolo, and work on getting is very smooth and "lightly" done. Then, over time, work on doing this while simultaneously closing your airstream where you would to bend the note you are playing..but don't actually close it as much as you would to actually bend the note...just start to almost close your airstream and try to get that tremolo you are working on to kick in the note to bend during the tremolo...that is one way I have found that seems to help people.
HI Dennis, On the first lick when you run up from the 4 blow to the 6 draw, are you tongue slapping any of those notes or am I hearing things?
Do you mean from the 4 draw to the 6 blow? (this pattern starts the first chorus of the "solo" after the first 12-bar "head" of the song)
If that is what you mean, there isn't really any tongue-slaps going on
Hi Dennis, I can do a tremolo, but cant seem to get a vibrato. Any recommendations would be great.

Hi Jerry, brand new student, love the lessons. Is there a certain speed I should work up to on these rthym lessons?
