thanks for your honest commetts,The percussions is something new to me,i could never play drums so i shouldnt be doing percussions but i dont like drum machines so ive been trying to add a little here and there,the harp im getting kind of lost with trying to firgure out new licks that work with it,Im at loss of new ideas,Ive been playing a year and a half and in a slump.I still been taking harmonica academy lessons as well as working on the beginning lessons here,i allmost got walk with me down just a 2 more choruses left,I started this with no time limits but now im like im ready to get the 1st song done its taking me longer than i thought,but then again im doing some side projects,but I hope to have a real lesson from here to post soon,although i will say i have been working the solo study hard from here thats where most my practice time is devoted,but dang im not happy with my chugging so far;-)but its me and not the lessons there the best chugging lessons ive found

Hey, I struggle with just playing the harp and you've got cigar box, percussion, vocals and harp going on!!!! The slump thing seems to be part of the learning process. I go through it and I hear others say that too, so you're not alone. I'm always amazed at how easy it sounds when Dvid plays it, and when I look at the music but man as soon as I start to get into it, I realize how tough it is. But slowly, it gradually comes if we stay at it. Good luck with it and don't forget to enjoy it.

thanks

Liking the sound of that

Liking the sound of that guitar box - very authentic stuff!! Not sure about the rhythmic percussion (shakers?) because it some places it distracts but in others, it fits in well. I think something like percussion rhythm has to be bang on or it can take away from the overall effect. Harp work getting better but watch for accuracy of chords. Lyrics/ vocals cool for the topic and the "scary" parts at 1:35 and the end add to the theme. Keep at it!!
