Not the diaphram. Like it says, throat vibrato. The classic way to get
it is to imitate, like when you were a kid, a rapid fire machine gun.
Then do it inhaling instead of exhaling. It's the same throat motion
that gets the throat vibrato.

What I personally found to work (not "classic" how-to) is to bend the 3
draw about a 1/2 step, then put vibrato in. Your throat is involved
getting the bend, so there's some feel there before you go for the
vibrato.

But, try the machine gun thing.
