"Baby, Scratch My Back." Here's the breakdown of the first two choruses before the vocal comes in. As always, sing the lick first and then anticipate the correct notes just as you're playing them.Just for fun, try "singing", or more properly, talking the lyrics on this one. Just say it like you mean it!

Hi Ann,
I'll put that one on the list.
Thank you Jerry, learning a song I always loved. Do you teach raingin in my heart by slim harpo???
Thanks a lot Jerry.... Sorry to hear about your throat problem...Please tell me how to practice for a nice strong vibrato and also how to get it up to speed because for a slow blues my Vib sounds ok but for fast tunes its hopeless I feel.
Kudos to both Biscuit Mic and Preston. Great clips. Preston - your phrasing is really excellent and has that relaxed lazy feel of Slim Harpo along with a wonderful improvised chorus of your own that is just beautiful and right in the pocket. Biscuit Mic - I've had throat issues beginning about seven years ago that have destroyed my once vaunted vibrato - I wish I had yours.
Good Stuff, LearningtheHarp.
Keep the posts coming!
