Funny Harmonica technique....off the blues path
Dave,
I dont know if you have seen the TV show....Axe Men....on Sundays. Anyway, the show is about loggers and one segment of the show is devoted to some guys from Louisiana...Cajun country...real backwoods types.
Lots these characters adventures are so crazy its hard to believe they survive them.
But....in the background there is the old harmonica....which puncuates thier zanniness...like no other instrument could. The harmonica sounds so funny it makes you laugh. I dont think the audience has any idea how important that background music is. There are lots of shakes and bends but at my level I have no idea how or what they are doing...even the key.
If you have a chance...watch the show.
I sure wish I could learn some of that....its just fun.

Sounds like fun. Take an audio recorder and place it right next to the speaker of your TV... record that part and use something like the Amazing Slow Downer to slow it down and figure it out. The truth of the matter is that 99+% of what's out there has not and will not be transcribed, so it's up to you.
P.S., there's more high-tech ways of doing this... like running an RCA cable from the audio out of your TV or Satellite Receiver into your recording device...
