Harp Diary #6: St. Lois Blues

I can't believe it's been 2 and a half years since I picked up the harmonica. I really love this instrument, the sounds you can make and all the good music that comes along with it. I've often given up and come back. This is one of my favorite songs and I thank Dr. Adam Gussow for providing a detailed lesson on how to play this tune* it's not only cool but it also is a pretty good exercise for the harp.

I am going through one of my "meh" harp playing phases, but I haven't posted something in so long! teehehehehe. posting makes me giggle.

If you want to learn this song via a detailed video (nearly 1 hour long) and a tab, go to this dudes site:

Nice skills on that bro. I play the acoustic pretty well. I'll post a vid for you. No jazz but something funky.

Really nice job. You not only captured the song, you captured the time period. Closed my eyes and thought it was the '30s :)

Sounds good.  I still don't do OB's.

Nice work dude. I like the overblow. I still struggle with it. Just gotta keep on tryin' I guess.
