So I've been playing for only a few weeks, and I've already learned some bending. I decided to just watch a bunch of JP Allen's videos on youtube, and I got to the throat vibrato. Hearing people saying it's challenging, I decided to try it and realized I've been doing it since I was a kid to make, as he said, machine gun sounds. So ladies and gentlemen, I believe I (as a beginner) can use my mediocre throat vibrato.
Go me!

It's like I say to my friends and family...
I only do poorly at things I hate. XD
When I love something, I had better be the best at it!

Keep on harpin'!

    Throat vibrato is the result of the "glotis" vibrating. I myself have had a vibrato/tremelo in my speech patterns my entire adult life. Another cool effect I use with blow notes, is to hum while I'm executing the note, chord, or octave. With a lttle practice you can hum the same note, or add a third between an octave. Give it a try, I think you'll find it intriguing.
