How to approach accompaniment for Freddie King's Big Legged Woman?

Posted Wed, 10/19/2022 - 12:43 by bartjansen

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...

Youtube to MP3

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!!!

Tom

Hello,

I recently switched from iPhone to Galaxy z flip 3. I can play mp3 files directly from a usb drive, one at a time manually. I can't figure out how to play several files automatically. I would also like to add files directly to the phone's internal storage; nothing I have tried has worked so far. Any help will be appreciated. continue reading...

Harmonica Benefit

I went to the dentist yesterday for a temporary crown to fix a broken tooth. After grinding most of it away to make a base for the crown he remarked, "that was quicker than I expected... usually with this tooth the tongue gets in the way." I told him I was learning to play the harmonica, which requires good tongue control. So there it is, another non-musical benefit to learning the harmonica :-)

Counting in?

Beginner student here.

I finished LOA 1 recently,  and am starting level 2..I'm having a harder

time with the rythm of Temperature than I did with Walk with Me.

In Walk with me, the 4 taps set the beat and speed for me and I just kept that in my head as I played..but Temperature,  instead of start with 4 taps to set the beat, goes tap, tap, tap-tap-tap and I don't get it..
