Re: [Harp-L] Side to Side Tongue Trill - NOT a trill

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

One thing, thought:
IT's NOT  A TRILL.
Sorry to shout, but when you use a musical term in a way that's wrong, it makes harmonica players look bad.
A trill can only be between two neighboring notes in a scale, like D and E, or E and F. Rapidly alternating two such notes is a trill. Any other fast combination does not have the same effect, and can be called a shake (a common musical term) or a warble ( a harmonica-specific term that doesn't conflict with musical terminology).

No, he's just tongue blocking the 3-draw -- If you listen closely you can hear the 4-draw playing continuously through the trill.

I hope this helps.
