I'm continuing to learn and enjoying the lessons. This song sort of features my new tremolo skills. 

Enjoy! I apologize if the song offends anyone.

Good day! I am a musician, but a "beginning" Blues Harmonica player. I've been a Bluesman for decades and I own harmonicas, but didn't take it seriously until now. Just to share, attached is kind've a Country song of mine where I'm playing every instrument including the harmonica. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming lessons in Levels of Achievement. 

Take care, y'all. Remember the Blues ain't nothing but a good man. or woman feeling bad.

A bit of fun here. Working on "The Big One," but having trouble keeping up with the rock blues tempo on David's backing track for it, and not anywhere close to nailing the two choruses in the middle on diatonic. So ... here are the eight chromatic choruses only, to a slower swing backing track. Equipment: Backing track through a Roland Cube30 amp; Hohner C CX12 chromatic through an Ultimate 57 mic and Danelectro FAB delay pedal into a Lone Wolf Blues HarpTrain amp; both amps caught by a Shure MV5 mic into my iPhone. continue reading...

Inspired by David's great "Sonny's Bird" and the new fundraiser CD compilation "Low Blows for Ida," I thought to myself, "How low can we go???" Here's my recording of "Sonny's Bird" on a Low A harp (Seydel Low Tone) that my wife gave me a few years ago as a gift.

what a wonderful word

This is Sonny's Bird, Sonny Boy Williamson II artist study song. Still a lot to improve, but this was really fun.

Hope I get your feet stomping!

Solo Harmonica Jam Remix

This is an original composition that I wrote and performed and recorded solo.  At first it was one track then later I added additional tracks so it later was then a multi-track recording.  I first recorded one solo harmonica track with Logic.  I used Adobe Audition to convert the file to mp3.  I used a Classic Hohner Marine Band 1896 harmonica in the key of C.  I used the microphone onboard the computer to record the harmonica.  The drums and bass guitar and guitar are Logic synthesizer instruments. continue reading...

Harmonica sounds fantastic in blues. But I was wondering if it could sound cool in the Ukrainian folk music. All of my attempts to find harmonica covers of it gave nothing. So I tried to do it myself with my current knowledge of harmonica. Here is information about original song https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chervona_Ruta_(song). You might watch it on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV_4XvldJw0. continue reading...
