Hello David,

i am working on the Corus Form Stuff in LOA 5 and i am much enjoying it. What is your opinion on taking a Book like “100 Blues Harmonica Licks you should know” or so to the woodshed and learning some of the Licks, just to get some new Ideas and a greater Vocabular? Must be great Fun to put all that Stuff in AAB Corus Form or ABAC and see what happens :-)

Or is that a waste of time? Should i just go on with the Licks in the practice Songs and try to use the Licks i am hearing on Records?

Hello Wiedemeier. I'm not

Hello Wiedemeier. I'm not familiar with the book, but I don't think it's a waste of time. I recommend you first go through all of the study songs up to this point and circle the licks you like. Then take those licks and play them in all the Chorus Forms. That's the first step. Then do the same for any other songs outside of your studies at BluesHarmonica.com that you've learned. Then give the book a try.
