We're re-issuing one of Jerry's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Jerry:
Here are a few simple licks in third position that I use in Cold, Cold Feeling. I don't break them all down but there's nothing fast, tricky or acrobatic about anything that I play in that song. Sing the licks and find the notes. Then concentrate on the sounds you're producing. As I say, "Good music is nothing more than making a good sound come out of your instrument and knowing where to place it." I think that's especially true in playing blues. Start experimenting on your own in third position, playing a harp that's one whole step below the key of the song.
Here we're playing an "A" harp in the key of "Bmin".

Hi Jerry,
Cold Cold Feeling is fun and very bluesy. Next week would you please include a bit on playing some third position variations on the IV and V chords.
Thanks,
George
