Hi everyone

Since a number of months I am diving into the great musical repertoire of that famous Canned Heat. I experience thiis adventure as a superb enjoyable and learning opportunity, also because over the years a number of great harmonica players were joining, ech with their own style and personality. Especially their great  boogie style I find very stimulating to me, for improving my tecniques, but also for learning to experiment and improvise, and in this way learn to express what I feel inside.... continue reading...

Hello! I started my 30 day trial from the Hohner Special 20 today, and thought I'd share this. I recorded this with my brother (piano) and my dad (drums) a few weeks ago. I'm not the best, but I want some feedback on it. Looking forward to the lessons here!

Here's my attempt at playing Crazy Legs. There are a couple of slip ups here and there as I can't yet manage to record a perfect single take. Sorry for the audio quality, but I'm having issues getting an external mic working with my laptop.

Midway through my LOA5. I really have enjoyed working on this song. Still not happy its where I would like it but would be interested in critique/comments. This also the first song that I have attempted using a mic (Bulitini) and amp (Champion 20). All a new experience so comment welcomed. I would also like to hear other LOA5 renditions.

Blues For Big Nate ( no backing track)

Hello everyone. I post today "my version" of "Blues for Big Nate" from the great Jerry Portnoy. I play this tune with no backing track and I play the two first chorus of this theme note to note but I improvised after ( still trying to stay in the style of Portnoy). I really try to focus on the killer tone of Jerry Portnoy. I play with my old Turner microphone (crystal elment) and little fender champ 20 (and Marine band classic in A).

Cheers from France

Hello everyone, I try to play the tribute to Big Walter Horton (by David Barrett) Shakey's Shuffle. I use my Turner CM (with old crystal element) and a little Fender Champ 20. I do not exactly stick to the theme. May I have the opinion of David Barrett?Cheers from France

Hello Everyone. A modest version of classic "Scratch My Back" by the great Slim Harpo. It's very difficult to restitute the feeling relaxing of his playing but I tried.

Sorry for my english, cheers from France

easy

Not a note for note cover, just tried to build off it impoving. I think its a good track to practice dynamics with.  I used a rebuilt stock Masco ME-18 , reconed p12q ,jt30 w/cr element, boss rv-5 reverb.
