Hi David,

do you have any lessons on your site specifically in the style of Sonny Terry, and/or Country Blues?

I'm very much enjoying my studies so far, thank you for all your material!

Hello Cornelius. I do not

Hello Cornelius.

I do not have anything on Sonny Terry. His style is VERY unique (he's pretty much a stile of his own), and it's a style I have not studied in-depth enough to teach.

Joe Filisko has some Sonny Terry study songs on his website (FiliskoStore.com).

Joe has lessons here for Country blues (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/joe-filisko-lessons).

This might fit the bill for you. It is a course on country harmonica by Lee Sankey. The first few lessons are free, so you can get a feel for if it suits you before you have to pay. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/countrybluesharmonica/71192420?autoplay=1

Lee took some lessons from Paul Lamb who you might like to listen to, as he plays a lot of material in the style of Sonny Terry.

Thanks Gary, actually Lees

Thanks Gary,

actually Lees course was the motivation for my question - I'm thinking about buying it, but if David had a similar offering here in the school, I would skip it.
