Chugging Ideas?
Mon, 01/24/2022 - 13:13
Hello David,
I probably can't see the forest for the trees here.
I am looking for some "chugging" ideas; as in the "I am a man" lick-sort of thing, where the lick is played and then a "response" is made.
I would like to have a few of these ideas in mind so that I can use them for practicing when I am out and about with my harmonica in my pocket.
I will post this as well in the General Section. I am sure others have some good ideas on this topic. Hows about it?

Hello Hank. I have a study song that covers this Call and Response phrasing you speak of, and it's in Accompaniment Studies 3 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/accompaniment_study_3) and 5 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/accompaniment_study_5). Otherwise, what you're speaking of sounds like general self-accompanied playing, which is found here https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/solo_harmonica_study_2
Also check out Joe Filisko's lessons (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/joe-filisko-lessons) on the Fox Chase/Lost John and Train Imitation... these are great to play unaccompanied.
