Thats simply the blue third and the four hole draw. Combined they produce this growling sound.

Growling is like adding a snoring kind of articulation to a draw bend.
Scroll about 2/3 down to find "growl" You can read a description and play a sample.

Is this growling effect restricted to bent notes? Can someone post an example.
Arbite: I think it is often very hard to distinguish what is being played. There are so many noises/effects that can be played...

There's a sample to the right of "growl" in the link I posted. There are LOTS of songs with a growl in them, but remembering which ones have them would be hard to to.
I got lucky! I found a song on my first try, and there's some growl at 30 seconds.

It's like saying a french "r" in the back of your throat while playing any note. It can be used with any type of note, bent (sounds great with 2draw full step bend), unbent, double stops, chords, octaves/intervals (sounds REALLY great with 2-5 split interval). Just add that "rrrgha" sound to the note with the back of your tounge against your throat... If you can speak french you are already there!

Sugar blue uses it in hoochie coochie man on youtube. just use yourthroat, you can get fast sounding single notes like that too. use uper notes and it sounds like a bird. not too hard though. makes your throat scratchy

Hi fellas,
This is my first post, so hello to you all.
About this growl thing. I'm not going to describe what it is, gene was spot on with that above.
I was just going to point out a couple of excellent examples of them being used on Adam's videos:
1) He does it within the first 5 or 6 notes of his front-porch blues lesson, number 24; they're on the 3 draw.
2) The other example - which I have I hard time getting right at the necessary tempo - is on lesson number 10. He sometimes uses it on the 5 chord: 3 draw whole-step bend followed by 2 draw half-step bend.

You can simulate a growl on blow notes with that rolling r thing, but it's not as good as a real growl.

For me, emulating a "snore" is how I learned to do a french "r" sound, so I guess snoring would be a more accurate way to describe how to get it, and is what I meant by saying "french r"... Also, I wnated to point out that adding the "snore effect" was also how I learned to do my first bend... That's interesting because when I think about it now, that meant I was bending with my throat, rather than my tongue. Now that I'm trying to play "resonantly" (that is: by opening my mouth cavity by droppng my jaw, leaving my tounge down, and opening my throat), I am having to re-learn how to bend with just my throat... Pretty interesting stuff!
