Well its already been 1year i started playing the harp and i have learn so much stuff its just crazy. i am having so much fun!!
Bluesharmonica and Paul Lassey are my two biggest motivation to play the intrusment!

To mark my 1st year i did a little impro on some melodic backtrack to test my skills.

I am using a Lee Oskar E Natural Minor harp.

Harp jam - E Minor

Thank you for the kind words

Thank you for the kind words fellas!

Ya, i tend to play a lot and i have invested big in harmonicas to try a variety of stuff. so that helps a lot.

and i can only thank David Barrett for introducing me to Jerry Portnoy.

Jerry has an incredible tone and his way of playing really touches me. i have been playing two songs none stop - Lullaby of Birdland that has some badass bends and Stormy Weather which makes ya work on your feel. i suggest to give them a try. you’ll need a Bb harp for Lullaby and an Ab harp for Stormy!

i busted my balls pretty badly to learn them by ear and i am quite happy with the results. enough that it shows in my impro playing.

i also bought Jerrys Blues-master book , that man is so articulate its just crazy. Just a good teacher like David , easy to understand so you get to play without thinking to much!

Cheers!
