Beautiful dreamer, beautiful harp melody, Jerry. Many thanks, again, for inspiring me to play -- and for choosing yet another tune that makes me smile.
Thanks for returning to this song, Jerry. The detailed breakdown of the two solos provides a clear roadmap, and the explanation of how driving through the turnaround builds drama is the kind of invaluable tip that makes me love your lessons. It would be great to have you or one of your guests lead us through another song in third position in the future -- Phone Booth? Thrill is gone? Ain't no sunshine? Ain't enough comin' in? (these are songs I am chewing on right now, but truly I look forward to any ideas on handling any minor-key song in 2nd or 3rd position). Thanks again for such good teaching!
Your lessons have given me so much pleasure and so many new tools in this lifelong learning of the blues! You can bet I'll be spending many more hours digging into the archives of your lessons. I know guest instructors will enrich our playing with their own styles and philosophies, but I sure look forward to having you back teaching. ¡Gracias, maestro!
Jerry, don't know if my ears are deceiving me, but the pitch on the Little Walter recording seems slightly flatter than what I'm playing on my B-flat harp. My pitch seems to match yours in the lesson. Just a reality check -- is there a difference? Thanks for your crystal clear teaching on this and all the other beautiful tunes you offer here.
