Hello BluesHarmonica.com!

I am brand new to the site. I have been a (virtual) student of David Barrett's for nearly 25 years via his excellent books and other publications. I thought I would introduce myself by sharing one of my favorite songs that I played with the band. This is a cover of Rod Piazza's song "Little Bitty Pretty One / Rockin' Robin" from his Harp Burn CD. continue reading...

Hello Community,

This is the classic play of The House of the Rising Sun.

I already wanted to play it a long time ago. I had to pratice for a while in minor scale to get this.

This is fully improvised with some errors. I uploaded because normally I practice without amp.

Guitar Am, Harmonica Dm. British Laney double speakered valved amp without any mod. 

Valved amped backing track, Bullet practicing mic. Mobile recording in my room,

Hello Community,

I asked one of my friend to create me in good quality the backing track of B.B. King's The Thrill is Gone...

I wanted to learn the basics of BB's on harmonica. After half a year practice this is it.

It is not too long but not simple at all...

And I utilized the knowledge of minor blues...

Performing “Juke” by Little Walter Jacobs and striving for classic amplified Chicago blues tone.

As you all know, Little Walter was probably the greatest harmonica player of all time.

He was among the first to record amplified harmonica and was a pioneer of jump and swing blues.

He lived a short life, but left a rich blues harmonica legacy.

“Juke”, originally recorded in 1952, became the number-one spot on Billboard's R&B chart and one of blues harmonica standards. continue reading...
