That Man You've Been Loving

Little ditty with acoustic harp (solo in the middle, and outro). In F (second position, Bb harp)

Performed and produced in quarantine by only a very talented friend (T.A. James, one-time bass player for Carey Bell, and all round musical genius) and myself. Done piecemeal from our homes, we never spoke or saw each other during the production of this.

The process started by picking a chord progression, in this case an 8-bar similar to "Ain't Nobody's Business," which evolved somewhat, then adding a bridge. T.A. laid down all the tracks except vocal and harp.  continue reading...

Hello,

After a week of hard work I could almost catch all the notes and rhythm of the guitar solo of Jimmie Vaughan from B.B. King's Thrill is gone concert.

It requires rather advanced knowledge.

I finaly could utilize my new knowledge of tounge covered bending learnt here in school.

I realized more effective learning process compared to few years ago.

Good Day All,

i want to share this link of our Band Mockingbird Junction playing an original song. 

https://youtu.be/zxpxFAeWBbI

Recorded in our music room, formerly dining. 

I must thank David Barret and this site for the incredible instruction and without it I would not be a harmonica player or musician. Particularly in each song lesson there is a section on playing with the band. I find this incredible advice always and it is a work in progress as the journey continuous.
