I've been Able to use all the resources on Bluesharmonica.com to really encourage me to start my long time desire to play a harmonica. I don't know how many of you decided the harp was for you when you listen to Majic dick playing Whammer Jammer. But When I was probably nine or ten When a friend of my older brother was at my house and he played it for me, I thought that was the greatest thing I ever witnessed. continue reading...

The guitar base I did it by myself (urgh!) is a 12 bar blues from Jethro Tull's SOMEDAY THE SUN WONT SHINE FOR YOU.  So, I know it's not a perfect release but I'd realized a great wish so I have to share. Hard training is the magic. It depends on where you want to go.

Jal Kamal

It is a Gujarati (one of many Indian languages, also my mother tongue) devotional song from peot Narsinh Mehta that I have set on a C chromatic harmonica. It is called "jal kamal chhandi jane bala" which letrally means "Oh young boy (Krishna), (please) leave these lotus waters (river)". I'm new to blues, so most of my recordings are simple melodies. I would provide tabs too, if anyone wants. Thanks for allowing me to share. 

DeFord Bailey's "Davidson County Blues"

Here's DeFord Bailey's "Davidson County Blues." It's one of those songs I've worked on learning, given up on, & gone back over the years. I've finally got the gist of it tho.

This recording is somewhat hurried in spots & I'd like to think that the harshness is the fault of the laptop computer I recorded it on. Anyhow it's a fun tune to play & forever a classic.

Been practicing dynamics lately. Majority of the recording i was trying to play as soft as possible with some loud passages here and there. I was using a small shure  shell 707a with black label cr, 1958 danelectro 273 centurion amp, boss r-5 reverb pedal sparingly, usb samson recording mic 10' away from amp, and rumba backing track in E  from dennis gruenling .
