marine band special twenty is a real nice harp if you do not play a lot. For blues music one plays a harp a fourth above the key of the tune...so when the song is in E one uses an A harp. If the song is in D one uses a G harp and so on. harmonica123 and Jason Ricci's channel on youtube are nice resources. I studied with Joe Filisko in chicago for a few years. Midnight Rambler which is in B

I love Ronnie's solo stuff....right through that tune he did with Mike Huckinal Coming Together. Slide on This is terrific and although short of songs 1234 is a blast. Ronnie is what I call a limited singer particularly in light of with whom he has played. as an aside I found Crosseyed Heart very dull Only played it a couple of times with friends whereas I have loved all Keith's oth

I collect resonators. they are a blast to play.
Forum: Tell Me

just turn that sucker up til it is breaking up a little and use your guitar volume to roll back to clean. If I am stuck using an amp I do not know I grab my route 66 pedal and set the drive very very low and if the amp sucks I add a hint of compression

keith is the only guitar AND the song is a direct and full Rip off of Sly Stone's tune Buttermilk. well except Sly says Buttermilk a couple of times. the long version of the song still does not have a second guitar let alone Muddy Waters.

I was driving my daughter around when some Freddie came on... She asked me to teach her to play like that. I told I would do what I could to show her the licks but the feel is something that just has to happen. there is no one better that Freddie King. equals yes but none better

I find her an interesting figure predating woman's lib. Her seems broken and doomed from the get go. infinitely sad She has horrible pitch control and her bands generally were not interesting to me. there are times when the energy on stage over came that but that is a lot of overcome and I could reel off a lot of other people that could do that material more justice.

Gregg Rzab who played with Page and the Black Crows as well as Buddy Guy auditioned.....he is still short enough to blend in with the boys. Willie Weeks would have been my top choice. I think he was with Vince Gill at the time. He was off the road after his wife died so he could raise his kid(s).

Keith played street fighting man in open E back then didn't he? later Sweet Virginia was standard tuning capoed at the second fret. I'd need to see pics of his left hand actually fretting a chord to tell for sure what is going on.
