@Szczepan07 Here's a little trick: If you have an harmonica (for example in D), play a song which is in a key a fourth lower (or a fifth upper) the key of your harp (If you use a D harp, play an A blues)! ;)
That's some soulful harmonica playing. I saw Charlie play in a small bar a couple years ago with his band. He sounded and looked great. The guy is still putting out great CD's and performing excellently!
This is the blues....a little sugar for us from one of the all-time great bluesmen, not just harp players. I thank God that Charlie did whatever he did to further his health and longevity. As you can easily see from this magnificent performance, the man just keeps rolling along, voice and playing getting better and better. So tasteful and sharp to employ that wonderful amped harp rather than the acoustic. He's been going strong since the mid-sixties.....keep tearing it up, Charlie! We love you.
now that is the way to make music . no overblown theatrics , no xfactor type dancing , no crap about hair or makeup . Just pure heart and talent . You get drawn in cause you listen to what they play and sing . Now where is my Uncle Jack Daniels
@manixman111, i disagree... try it.. grab an A harp and play some crossharp licks over this song and then some 3rd position licks, you'll see that this is 3rd position, key of B. in any case, what a great song!
Every time I meet Charlie someone is asking him what harp he uses, what mic he uses. I usually here a different answer. Its not the harp its the harp man.
@slimpickinses Surely i may be wrong because I prep myself like a surgery patient before i use one myself in front of an audience but that run down at .37-.45 seconds sounds like he's throwing them in for those half steps. then at 3.40 that note !!!
@gregjohnkw Sounds to me at 3.39 he starts with a bent 6 and brings it up and goes to a slap 4-8 draw octave at 3.40 then a 4-7 slap blow octave to a slap 6 draw to a slap 6 blow to a 5/6 draw then 4draw 4draw bend 3 two step bend to a 2draw slightly bent and release it happens pretty fast so it's as close as I can get.
@gregjohnkw The run down and 42 sounds like a 10-6 draw octave then a 6-9 blow then 5-9 draw to a 4-8 blow then a slap (8draw slide to 6) then slap ( slide to 7 blow) back to a slap (8 draw slide to 6) slap 6 blow and finish slap 5 draw
Beautiful, heart-tearing song captured on a minimalist video -- truly emblematic of "less is more." This live performance offers the viewer a small window into Charlie's soul, as he channels the powerfully deep emotions of true blues.
Check that chvaky, Thats Delta Blues, it's pure Delta Blues Style..... Seen Charlie at the Tap Room in Buffalo a few times, late 80's and early 90's. Awesome.....
jetzt, nach so vielen Jahrzehnten, älter, alt und viel schöner, dieses köstliche Video, herzlichen Dank den Musikern und Meyer Records und Otto Mecki, der mich damals mit der Musik von Charlie Musselwhite bekannt machte.
if this is an A harp what position would you call this. third?

hi, I'm new to harp playing and would like to ask any trained ear if this is a C harp. I hope it is, because if it's not, it means my ears suck :p

Guitarist is just a bit too slow, but Musselwhite is on it. Hardest part of being Charlie is finding musicians who understand and can feel the blues.
