Hello,

I will soon get a computer with Linux on It and It seems that The Amazing Slowdowner works only on Windows.

So my question is : Would you know if there is an alternative to this program on Linux ?

Thank you

I recently came across a rather interesting and extensive online database of cover versions of songs. I was searching for a backing track to a song I'm working on (Ain't No Need to Go No Further) and this popped up in the search. Many/most of the cover versions have links to performances on various sources (YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, etc.) and some data on release dates etc.

I recently read an ad for a harmonica model produced by a company based in a country in which English is clearly not the first language. There were some technical translation issues that in context were fairly easy to figure out. And then there was this gem: "Unlike other instruments, harmonica is small, light, and simple to carry. If you carry it with you in your bag, you can see your own small harmonica concert hall anytime, anywhere." continue reading...

Master Barrett is right, This song has alot of Technique!

Hello all,

I jam a bunch on the no harp version of Muddy Waters Country Boy. The no harp version from the Folk Singer album that is. It's actually a great track to work those accompaniment licks. I work that one out of E.

My question is about the version with LW on harp. One of the first amplified tracks he recorded with Muddy I believe. Chess 1951ish? Maybe it's the old record, my ears, or the LW mojo but I can't grasp the key. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Im going back through the lessons on practice that I recently discovered on my main page under new lessons.   great stuff.  especially the play less listen more concept.  that practice just in itself has helped speed accurate learning along.

My bandmates (2 guitar players, a base player, a dummer) recently proposed adding 'Big Legged Woman' by Freddie King to our setlist. The original does not have a harmonica part and I'm at a loss on how to approach the accompaniment on this song. The groove seems rather different than the examples in the accompaniment playing and tongue blocking lessons that I went through on the site. Does anyone have suggestions on what would be a reasonable harp line to play under this song? continue reading...

Hey guys,

I used a Youtube to MP3 converter from a link on this site a while back.

I don't remember where the link was and have been clicking around looking for it.

Most of the ones I have found online are spooky with popups and viruses so I want to find one that's safe and reliable.

Link anyone?

Thanks!!!
