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.

I used my Masco Map 18 amp, a JBL Blutooth speaker for play the backtrack and a mobile for recording of my noise in my room.

That is the result. continue reading...
