We're re-issuing one of Dennis's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Dennis:
Hi Harp Fans! This week we dive further into “Lookin’ Sharp”, my diatonic harmonica tribute to George “Harmonica” Smith. In Chorus Two, we will work on using more octaves, slight 5 draw bends, and powerful 4 draw scoops. As we go into Chorus Three we will work on subtleties with the 3 draw bend with throat and hand vibrato, and the building of tension with timing and phrasing, which is one of the things that George Smith was most known for.
Dig in, and keep yourself “Lookin’ Sharp”!
- Dennis Gruenling
