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

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...

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...

It's a Goodun...!!

Thanks!

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...

Hi Everyone - This week we will cover the next two choruses of my Big Walter Horton tribute. I start out by getting away from the more repetitive type of choruses and switch...

This week I do a short review of the first week and then we go further into the tune. I show you the basic chords as well as some useful licks that can be adapted to other songs as...

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...

Got any advice on making my 3'' Bend better, it does not sound to good

A life study. Cheers Steve

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...

Thanks, playing softer does extend the breath and sounds better too. 

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?

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...

During the triplets, are you playing the downbeat note slightly louder than the others?

Very nice job Steve, great playing!

Thanks Taylor. 

I think you just have to suck it up (pardon the pun) for the first four bards.  I play it softer on the first four bars and then get my air out on the blows of the IV.  I think I...

Here you are Duke. I changed the last pair of D notes into D9 (first one) and D13 (second one) chords for fun. I also got a new electric, and was able to combine both pickups to...

A life study. Cheers Steve
