I hope the next video shows how to do a reed replacement on the one draw.

Hi Duke! This tune  presents so many unique challenges.  Lowell Fulson certainly needs his own chapter in the history of blues guitar. It's interesting to see how much he was...

Nice playing, Charlie! You have a really nice blues feel!

Ok, here's my cut. Don't know how close (if at all) I'm getting to Lowell's feel. Same as Bruce I'm going with the "don't worry about mistakes" approach - this is first take...

Hi Jerry, I'm asking how do you do the last note of the song. I think the 4 last notes are  +3  -2  +3  +3 with tong hitting. Fot the final +3, i hear a "waou waou waou waou..."....

Really nice playing and singing, Steve. Wish I had that fluidity.

Most definitely tongue-blocking for the first eight bars (and the whole tune pretty much). While holdig the harp and playing, it's a combination of moving the harp over with my...

Are you tounge blocking during the first eight bars? Also, are you moving your jaw back and forth or the harp?

"El Cheapo"? See Dennis, you CAN speak Spanish.  https://youtu.be/XKRQMCHlONU according to this video, drinking liquor helps.  At least that's what the internet says...

Hi Folks, This weeks lesson is on the second solo chorus of Reconsider Baby. The first four bars are fairly straight ahead with pretty typical blues licks. The thing is here he is...

2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Horton Shuffle Intro and First Chorus Breakdown
In reality, it's one of the toughest notes on the harp to play (in tune). Practice bending in general more to get more muscle control, and then work with a tuner to try to hold the...

Playing the harmonica softer always gets a better sound and tone...as long as your not playing an el cheapo $1.99 harmonica from the truck stop, in which case it would be so leaky...
Rick Dave left a comment on: Horton Shuffle Fifth Chorus Breakdown
Thanks, playing softer does extend the breath and sounds better too. 
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Horton Shuffle Fifth Chorus Breakdown
As Taylor says, it's a good idea to play softer for this section. As a harmonica player, you always want to play softer in general, it's always good technique to play soft so you...

Any tips on breathing? Do you pretty much have to hold the inhale for the four bars or is there a discreet way to get rid of some air along the way?
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Horton Shuffle Fifth Chorus Breakdown
Not really, but you can if you want. Sometimes Walter would accentuate every OTHER downbeeat, in this case that would mean beats "1" and "3" which of course is the 3 draw in both...
