Thank you Bill - And yes, those chords are being produced exactly as you describe. My tongue is hitting the harp only only when I clip the chord off at the very end of the riff...

Hi Rick, I love the sound of that descending lick on the last four chord.  There's something about the way the notes are paired that adds to the latin feel of it.  I also feel...

Hello Jerry, Great and usefull exercice licks on 2d - 3b, but i experienced a great difference in "air-tight quality" between these two positions. I use a Hohner Blues Harp MS,...

I think I'm understanding you Andre - and if you're saying what I think you're saying, yeah, that's what I mean! I think of it like talking - like a conversation.

This week we've got verse five of Mr. Lee's Mambo. In this one, we're switching it up - moving from the soft chords we've been using, and going with some more aggressive sounding...

Hi Folks, This week we start on a new song and it's one of my favories to play. Avalon was a twenties hit for Al Jolson but soon became a tune associated with jazz. Benny Goodman...

This week I want to start talking about improvising. To me, the essential characteristic of good improvising is that it comes from a playful nonjudgmental place. For the most part...

Hi Diego, It's difficult to tell. Either way works fine and sounds good. Try to master both.

804 thumb Rick estrin left a comment on: Mr. Lee's Mambo Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Hi Terry - No, it's not in reference to Lee Allen - Good guess though! I'm really glad you're diggin' the series. Actually, I disclose the inspiration for the title in one of the...

Thanks, Duke!

HI Bruce, Sounds good! I'm glad you're singing and playing it together. One thing to watch is on the second chord of the verse (D) you need to play over the D chord. All the other...

Hey Duke! So, my buddy Dave suggested I think more about throwing in some major pentatonic licks, and I decided that adding in some chords really does sound nice too. I think it's...

Is the Mr Lee of the title by any chance Lee Allen?  You've got me listening to a lot of sax!  Thanks for another world class harp lesson!

Cool licks ... especially the 2nd one that is virually ripping my coordination out of my hand. The 1st one will have to wait for when I can actually play but the 2nd one man...

Thank you Rob - I'm real glad to know that what I'm trying get across in these lessons is working!
804 thumb Rick estrin left a comment on: Mr. Lee's Mambo Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Hi Bill - I really wasn't going for an "angry" effect in verse 3 and I wasn't aware of the commonality between this 3rd verse and the 3rd verse from Blue Strollin', but there's...
804 thumb Rick estrin left a comment on: Mr. Lee's Mambo Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Hi Bill - The only reasons I can think of are the 3 blow just felt right to me and sounded right to me. It seems naturally transition well from the swooping bend of the 3 draw. 
Rick Robny left a comment on: Mr. Lee's Mambo Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Man I just love it. I got that blue strolling pretty well down. I feel the groove of it nice. Working on this one now. I can't wait till I know it by heart and feel the groove...
Rick Bill blatner left a comment on: Mr. Lee's Mambo Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Hey, Me again.  I noticed that in this tune and in the last one, Blue Strolling, the third verse centers around the 2 and 3 holes.  Totally different rhythm but all those 3 hole...
Rick Bill blatner left a comment on: Mr. Lee's Mambo Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Hi Rick, I was wondering if you had a particular reason for ending the last phrase on th 3-blow v the 2-draw.  
804 thumb Rick estrin left a comment on: Mr. Lee's Mambo Second Chorus Breakdown
Hey Andre - Maybe on the IV after the V the phrasing could be a little better, but up until that last lick, the whole verse is really good!!!

Hey Duke! Here's my video again, since you didn't get a chance to comment on it last lesson. Hope you're well! Best, Bruce
