Hello All, Our band practiced the famous track of the Rolling Stones. I practiced various articulation/embouchure technique during our practice session of the famous Rolling Stones track. I found this sample file the best for maintaining a balance between long and short notes—long notes to accompany the singer and long multiple bended headshaking technique in case of solo parts, with short notes played between the lyrics. continue reading...

Hello All, Blue Shift our new band performed an Albert King song Crosscut Saw. In 1966, Albert King recorded his version calling it "Crosscut Saw". The same lyrics as McClennan's "Cross Cut Saw Blues" were used, except for two verses which were replaced by guitar solos. However, King uses a different arrangement based on an Afro-Cuban rhythm pattern, similar to that of his 1962 song "I Get Evil". Our version is lighter, faster and "a bit minorized", key changed to A. Played on D harmonica 2nd position in pentatonic minor and blues scale. There are errors, we have to work on this a lot.

Another great William Clarke tune I've put a lot of work on (and continue to do so, this one is tough a cookie). From his record Groove Time.

Lee Oskar in G (3rd position) played through a Greg Heumann custom mic (same element as Bulletini) and Lone Wolf's Harp Attack.

Backing tracking by Shoblues, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnqxSseSTcQ slowed down to ~80% speed. Mixed in Bandlab.

Introduction: David showed me a site study that helped me learn the 3rd position pentatonic minor scale.

Practice Duration: I have been studying the scale for three weeks and experimenting with licks, movement, phrasing, technique, and bends.

Sound Characteristics: The focus has been on short notes and a lot of staccato, so the sound is a bit dry.

Future Plans Next time: I will apply more delay and reverb and incorporate longer notes and vibrato.
