  • This is a solid and easy to learn shuffle solo you can play without any bends or fancy footwork. The idea is to use rhythms and spaces and let the timing do the talking. The original backing track, "Chi-Town Spank", is packaged with my new Blues Harmonica Blueprint video on Truefire and features Paul Rishell & Troy Gonyea on guitars, Paul Tomasello on bass and Billy MacGillivray on drums. Visit www.paulandanni... to order Blues Harmonica Blueprint, or for more information about Annie Raines and Paul Rishell's instructional videos, and upcoming shows.

    With you it happened! For just a little better than two and a half years I've been struggling trying to find the blues groove. I've practiced straight harp old standards and flirted with many CZcams blues greats, even took a 5 week course with our Scottish friend. Just wanted to tell you with this, your short, "Easy Solo in G," it finally clicked for me. I'm not blowing the same notes as you but watching you and listening to the backing track lets me lay down what I have in the right places. It is like a great fog has lifted....Oh, I could go on and on...can you tell I'm excited. Thank you Annie

    On "Orange Dude Blues" John Sebastian and I each had a regular D and a low D harp, and one of us would play the "high part" while the other took the "low part". I think I had a Marine Band in D and a Big River in Low D.
    John is a real joy to share the stage with - he's very present and he really goes for it with musical conversations. Just a genius mind, that's all.

    Thanks, Annie, am taking your course also. Great teacher, excellent videography, not like dozens of those amateur presentations out there who pay no attention to the presentation of their material. Your lessons are of professional caliber.

    I bought this course years ago and was very pleased with it. The teaching method was so friendly and informative and well thought out that I learned tons. I have been meaning to thank you Annie so I am now. Well done.

  • @jamesmares4206
    @jamesmares4206 Před 4 lety

    Great lesson , The lessen the hind the lesson here is that you don't have to be the world's greatest technician in order to play the blues. The the right notes.
    The double tap the triplets the timing, amthe controlled vibrato, all those elements create the foundation. Thanks for sharing this Annie. It's it gives me more confidence but I am headed in the right direction

    know what Annie... I've been learning via these you tube tut's for years, and I hate to say this but,.... I've never clicked on any of yours. Maybe it's a 'male' thing. Sorry if it is. Know what else ?. I'm the loser. Having listened to some of your tutorials I now realize what i 've been missing. You really know your stuff and want to say thank you for putting these on.
    They've been a great , great help. Thanks!

  • @paulandannie
    @paulandannie  Před 11 lety +1

    I do both, with tongue-blocking making up 70-80% of my playing. I find U-blocking to be initially effective for getting single notes, but it can really get in the way when trying to get certain sounds like "T" articulation and various tongue-slapping techniques.
