Video Tip 10 - Matchstick
Tue, 11/23/2010 - 08:45
Today's tip comes from the tenth and last song of my concert set at Steve Baker's Harmonica Masters Workshop.
"Matchstick" is in E and is played on the A Harmonica in 2nd Position.

Your tip...
This song is a tribute to Little Walter and James Cotton... I heavily "borrowed" licks from their various songs ("Rocker" and "Creeper" are the two most obvious ones). Just like natural resources can be repurposed, blues harmonica licks can be too! Try making your own instrumental by mixing together some of your favorite instrumentals from the masters.
