Sam Barry Plays "Blackbird" with Guitarist Todd Swenson

[TheKelly1956]

Great job. Always loved that song. Now I gotta find the tabs.

[truerocker]

hello mr Barry, i don't want to seem ignorant, but since you're an experienced and professional "harmonica player", what would you recommend to a person who wants to learn to play the harmonica. btw, awesome cover!

[kaceyrain1]

So beautiful!

[perrochet69]

NICE! men! hey Sam the harmonic is in the tone C?

[SamBarryTV]

Yes indeed--I am playing on a standard C major diatonic ten-hole harmonica. The song is in the key of G major, or perhaps we could say G myxolydian mode.

Turn down the volume on the guitar, it covers the Harp way to much. 50/50 volume to start with and work from there.

[SamBarryTV]

Yes, the sound isn't perfect--this was basically a live take made on the spot after we made the funny videos to promote the book. I'd love to re-record with more precision.
