Nine Below Zero


Last Vocal Chorus

This week we're taking on the last vocal verse. I break down the little fill licks I'm using between vocal phrases. I talk about how to approach telling the story vocally - for singers and non-singers alike. I also address the importance of keeping the musical conversation going - keeping the conversation going between the lyrics and the fills and also keeping it going internally between the harp licks themselves.

"Someone that is strictly a harmonica player is of no value in this world."

Probably once every lesson, you say something that just cracks me up. I learn a lot of great technique from these lessons, but the overall entertainment value is off the charts. You speak the truth, though.

I said that?!?!? 😂 I believe it is generally the truth, but I'm a little surprised I actually said it publicly.
