Sold my car to go from England to America to see him play live and followed his touring schedule for two weeks,lucky enough to have spoken to him and seen him play, Underestimated , Underpaid and forever missed. Keep on spreading the word !!!
Hi...just found this video, great stuff. I love W C's playing! My harp teacher put me on to him. I also like your review of the MB Deluxe (just got my first one). Keep up the good work mate! Regards from Madrid.
I think the solo starts on a 6 blow octave, up to an 8 draw octave. The first phrase ends on 5 blow, and the second phrase is mostly the 8 draw octave, up to 9 blow octave, the 9 draw, 8 draw, 7 draw octaves, then 6 blow, 5 blow, 4 draw octaves to 5 draw. At the 5 draw your at the 4 chord.
hang in there paul wieth the technology. Thanks for the video. You helped me with something I needed...the 1st part ending with the 2draw bend to the 1draw bend. I was blowing on the 1. Keep sending videos my man, you are helping people. I feel like Im with a personal instructor in my home, not a hard to follow instructor that talks alot and explains nothing much. You look like a mix of Paul Giamotti and John Candy teaching the harp....informative and enjoyable!
Hi ya Paul, have you tried out the Amazing Slow Downer App? It"s quite useful for breaking songs down into loops of your choosing,and you can slow down the speed without changing the pitch.
Hey there Doug, absolutely! I would suggest that to anyone who is trying to learn difficult songs. It's a great piece of software! Thanks for the suggestion brother!
Hey there Joey, sorry it took me so long to do this. I don't always see all the comments man. Here is that lick tabbed out: start out at the 4d 1/2 step bend into the 4d to 5d , 4d, 5d, 6b, 5d, 4d, 5d, 4d, 5d, 6b, 5d, 4d, and so on. You can just keep repeating it. start slow and build speed. It's basically the 4 draw bend into the warble with a 6 blow added. Take care man! - Paul
William Clarke was a tongue blocker as most of the blues greats from California are. They have there own style. If you’re not TBlking in this song or any othe WC tune the teaching would be incorrect however TB method gives you a much fatter and warmer tone. Cheers! & Good luck
I agree with what you are saying about the "technique" used and am aware of that, but being able to play it just the same isn't a bad thing either way, so the "teaching" being wrong would be subject to how "authentic" we want to be, and to that viewpoint. I don't believe I ever talk about that in this video. Tongue blocking is a very important technique to know and as far as I am concerned it's important to learn both if you can. But hey...that's just me. I don't like to limit myself to one or the other because I don't particularly want to sound or be like anyone else. As players, we should strive for our own sound or we're just copying whats been done already. Cheers to you Johnny Gorena from sunny California! I appreciate the insight and thanks for the comments!
