Hi David,

I really love this study! Before I signed in to BHM.com I playes along with "don't let your rigtht hand know" and "the sky is crying". The blow-draw pattern of sonny's bird drove me mad the forst three days when I was practicing becaus I always had the wellknown patterns in my head. just for interest: which of sonny's tracks can I listen to to get the sonny's bird pattern memorized? 

regards :-)

I'm glad you're enjoying the study... this is one of his famous songs. The released version of "Bye Bye Bird" on Chess is with a band, and is not my favorite (my version comes from The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson [Disc 2]). I personally like his version on the Don't Send Me No Flowers CD release. There is YouTube footage of him doing it as well. Enjoy your studies.
