Once I finish my initial Little Walter studies I want to move on to Butterfield. What are some good resources?

Well, not to toot our own horns too loud--but I think the Butterfield workshops that David and I gave during the Harmonica Masterclass Workshop days were terrific. Students were even able to play through one of Butter's original '65 Fender Super Reverb.

Let me have a chat with David, and get back to you. In the meantime, check out the "Tribute to Paul Butterfield" on the second disc of History of the Blues Harmonica Concert (BBR710 BackBender Records 2009)

Your Harpsmith and Butterfield fan,

Comment

Kinya ask that I comment. This song is not transcribed unfortunately. There are no plans to do a Paul Butterfield lesson at the moment for the site... though a focused study of the Blues Scale (found in the Improvising Studies) will take care of you. The Andy Just Artist Study is also a great resource... Andy is highly influenced by Butter.
