Telephone Blues

Defiling a George Harmonica Smith Classic.
Messing around with third position.
I improvised the verses and stole most of the solo (third chorus).
Playing through my "homemade" Shure 9822 (old smaller brown bullet) with a CR element, DD-7 delay pedal, and Kalamazoo amp.
Octaves sounded too "major" when I tried them in the last chorus, so I dirtied them up. Now I wonder if they are too dissonant?

At least me and my wife get our new apartments with small garden! So happy blues goes (only one take was made so don't be serious about this recording)

I used a G harp for this - the backing track is from the George Harmonica Smith Artist Study.

Chromatic Study

Jamming along with a backing track on a C chrom in 3rd position. Fidelity is pretty bad but you can hear what I'm doing. I have trouble tracking my mouth movements with the mic (RJ Mischo recommends this for chrom and after this, I know he's right). There's also some pretty sloppy phrasing. Gets better at around the two minute mark I think though. I think the YouTube vid sounds a bit better (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1TVfKmpWeM ). Please let me know what you think.

Steady

Here's my rendition of Jerry McCain's 'Steady'. It's a GREAT tune. I listened to McCain's version, of course, and David's version on the "History of the Blues Harmonica Concert" CD (great CD). I used David's transcription and the Steady backing tracking from Shoji at http://www.bluesharptracks.com.

Blues for Big Nate (sans accomp)

The past seven months of using this site, I've been working on my tone. I started as a pucker player and switched to TB and have gotten great feedback from David Barrett (mostly he said, your tone is thin...). So every time I pick up the harp, I worked on my tone with the opening of Portney's Blues for Big Nate. I thought I'd upload my progress and share. I think I'm sounding better--which is a testament to David's site and lessons. continue reading...

I started playing a little over a year now. Here's Little Walter's Rocker with my new (to me at least) Fender Super Champ XD and crystal Brown Biscuit. I'm using the Shotunes Jam Track which is roughly 25% slower than the original.
