Vibrato masters

Skipped said:

Gary Moore may be the most interesting Vibrato master simply because he is left handed. If you have never wondered just how your own playing technique would have developed if your Mother had handed you a left handed guitar, as a young child, then clearly you are not as curious as I am....

Interesting thing...

One of BB's main heros, T-Bone Walker, never shook a string... no vibrato whatsoever. B's cousin, Bukka White, was a country bluesman who did the National/slide thing and BB wanted to emulate that. Trying to copy his cousin's vibrato without a slide is where BB got his warble from.

Here's my list, it's kinda short:

1. BB. Everyone else is just copying.

When B' made his first record, Freddie King was in grade school, Albert was playing country blues on a homemade guitar and the "real" Otis Rush... that would be Ike Turner, was only playing piano.

Duane was a lefty as well.
