Blues 'Classics' Heads

Posted Tue, 10/26/2010 - 13:53 by hank stefaniak

The House Band guitar player at our local jam told me (suggested, recommended?) to learn 5+ heads to classic blues songs that most players at the jam would know so I could lead off with the head and then improvise from there when the harp solo comes. He's been a huge help to me with amp/PA set up and other jam etiquette stuff so I'm happy to listen to him. Any suggestions for songs that start with a harp 'head' before I do a lot of searching through my library. I'll be happy to share my research.

Thanks

I would imagine I speak for many of us when I say "Thank you" for all the effort you put into all of these highly informative interviews with experienced players and others involved in manufacturing, repairing, or modifying the harmonica and related equipment.

Since the room remains unchanged, and at times you can hear a knock at the door for the next interviewee, it is clear that you took advantage of SPAH or some other organized event where many of the important folks dealing with the harmonica are present at the same time. continue reading...

Greg Heumann Interview

Great interview with Greg!! Just finished watching the series and it was very informative. His closing comments are for real!! He is more than willing to help and answer questions. I have several of his products (yeah, I know -GAS - gear acquisition syndrome) and right from the very first thing, found him to be genuinely interested in finding out what was best for me. Since then I've come to realize how naive some of my questions were but he never once made me feel like I was imposing on his time.

Thanks again David for an informative interview.

Good Luck Chuggers!

Harp Keys?

Posted Thu, 09/23/2010 - 14:10 by Jon M Harl

I get customers that want to know what keys they should have in their kit. A lot depends on what type of music you're going to play but I'm assuming that everyone on this forum likes the blues. The drop dead basic harps your should have are the G • A • Bb • C • D. After that for fun you could add an Ab • F • LF • LD • LC. I like the LC for playing Sonny Boy's "Bye Bye Bird" What are you're thoughts on this topic?
