Sad Hours - Acoustic harp

My cover of the Little Walter's slow blues harp standard. Or as my young daughter called it today, "a very dramatic song" :).

I play a Bb Lee Oskar harp, and recorded this acoustic cover with my phone while practicing it, so you can clearly hear me gasping for air at times. Later I mixed it with the backing track in Bandlab. This is made in two cuts, luckily I only had to splice 4 bars where I made a little mistake at the end of the main take. I like how it turned out, but I'm obviously still working on it =). continue reading...

This one is literally a tongue-twister:). Appreciate your feedback. Perhaps the most challenging song technically I've worked so far. This is my best shot at it.. Here is the video version:

Please help.

I have uploaded ABBA Song because i have no idea how to contact anyone on this forum.

I have sent questions to andyharl@bluesharmonica.com but he has not answered for 9 days.

I was wondering can anyone tell me how to ask post  a question on a forum (the exact process , not "just use forum").

Also are there maybe Levels of Achievement lessons for C Harmonica because i have one of those?

Best regards,

Hello All, I have just checked my first step studying B.B. King style minor started in the second half of year 2019. It was a learn by ear study of Jimmie Vaughan solo in Thrill is Gone track from Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010. (B minor backing track accompanied on third position A harmonica) Than this year I learnt the starting solo of B.B. King that is simplier in the track played in 2011, at The Royal Albert Hall with Slash. The second half of this year I practiced lot of minor play. I mathematized a lot up and down and in the middle. In a year and party my friends played B.B. continue reading...

"Easy" Harmonica Harmonies in 'E'

This song is posted in response to a question I asked David about on the forum under the same title. The link to that forum post is below. I used the "Buffet Line" backing track to do this recording. I started with "Temperature", but I found it a bit too slow, so I switched to "Buffet Line". I used 3 (overdub) tracks to do the harmonica harmonies. I used an 'A' harp for all 3 tracks. One track was the "regular" notes, one track went a hole higher than regular and the last track went a hole lower than regular. It sounds like nice harmonies for the most part. continue reading...

Smooth Jazz in C major - no blues, sorry;-)

Hello everyone, I thought the following improvisation might be interesting because it is something other than blues. "SmoothJazz", you could also call it boring elevator music. But if you want to relax, it might help.I played with a low f. The whole thing was recorded with garage band on my iphone.

Sleep well ;-)

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...
