This sounds great, and I intend to copy it as closely as possible for myself. Before I get started on an analysis, I'm wondering: is the difference heard here a product of your your unique approach to the song, or have you applied the unique tuning that you have talked about rather than using a standard diatonic harmonica? @@willharmonicawilde
OUT OF THIS GALAXY. I'm tapping my foot and nodding my head and shaking my shoulders. BRAVO. One would have to be dead, if he/she didn't respond to your fantastic playing! WICKED!
I saw Little Water in 1958 and 1962 and I got to sit down with him in 1962 and talk a little bit about muddy & harps I’ve been blowing harp also Little Water style but man you got the style you got the feeling you got little Walters Feeling 😎
I wanted to see how close I could get to the classic 50's Chicago blues sound. I'm using a 7 watt valve amp here with an oval speaker (it's actually an extension speaker from an old record player) I think it sounds pretty close!
The other key element, of course is mic chosen. SM 57/58 or ?. But whatever. THE key element is you and the level you've reached in your consummate skills over the whole range of our amazing little instrument. And, in addition to what you exhibit in your own stylings your keen, near scholarly, interest, understanding, appreciation and spot on emulation of the styles of the greats for our development and enjoyment. There is quite a range of top level harp players out there today, but IMHO, combining and sharing all these qualities as you do, puts you in really special place. Thanks, mate!
I stumbled on your channel a couple of weeks ago . I save it because it's good and good for you too ! Would love to hear you do the creeper by Sonny Boy Williams. Loving it in Louisiana .
I've been listening to Little Walter for over 50 years now, and every time I play one of his tracks, I swear, I hear something new. You are a great player, and you've got the feeling!
There's nothing you can't play. I'm just gonna practice till I die. Maybe just maybe. I'm kinda glad you don't put up tabs. Makes me work for it. Blessings to you.
Just when I thought you can't get any better you come up whith this higher tempo absolutely nailed the mix just melted all my harps made a trumpet at leased I can play my own trumpet 😁
I met Tom Swan in the 70's. He was one of the producers for Little Walter. He told me that to get that special sound, Walter played with a toilet bowl placed upside down over his head! Well, his head went in the bowl just enough to allow his hands to hold the harp! Also, an American toilet bowl is a bit larger than those in Europe!
Will Wilde, youve done it again. Lovely blues playing. LW Juke, a blues standard, you sure can blow dat thing. Thanks for putting out a new video. Keep the blues alive. Much respect bro.🇬🇧🎶👍👍
Just started your Bad Ass Blues Solo on JP’s Blues course. You break it down and explain it great! Going to be practicing that for a long spell…..a real long spell! Thanks Will
12/22. HI, WILL ! IT IS 11 AM. JUST GOT BACK FROM GROCERY SHOPPING. ONLY A FEW THINGS LEFT TO DO FOR XMAS! THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU. YOU GET ME UP ON THE RIGHT FOOT! HAPPY HOLIDAY AND A BOUNTIFUL 2023!@
I find myself spending hours listening to you and Howard Levy, you two guys along with the classic harp masters made me drive my wife nuts practicing, need to keep the harmonica's in the car now, red light and slow traffic practice, it's going slow but steady, cheers mate 👍🏼
11/16. THIS IS A FAVORITE OF MINE. UP AND TOE TAPPING! YOU ALWAYS BRIGHTEN MY DAY! YESTERDAY, I WENT TO A NEARBY LIBRARY AND CHECKED OUR 4 MYSTERIES. 3 OF THE AUTHORS I AM FAMILIAR. WITH...3 OF MY FAVORITES ARE HARLAN COBEN, ROBERT CRAIS, C.J.BOX. TAKE CARE, STAY HEALTHY! !

I just rewatched this. The way you mix it up, it's a great lesson in harp technique. I recognized riffs and licks from other Little Walter songs, and other artists (Big Walter). Great tone, too.
Learn harmonica with me! Join my free online course: www.willwildeharmonicamasterclass.com
OUTSTANDING! BRAVISSIMO!
Little Walter killed it on the harmonica but Willy you have captured it perfectly never let the blues die cheers thanks for sharing totally awesome
Thanks Chris!

@@fathompin thanks. This is a stock harp in standard tuning.

Brilliant mix of Juke and Walters boogie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Impeccable throw back tone.

I really like it when you dig in to old school classic blues harp. 2 thumbs up 👍
Thanks James, glad you liked it!

You gave me goose bumps. Little Walter was the first one tried to emulate. Blues with a feeling.
Love it. Excellent tone .Had it all man.
Little walter hace presencia en tu sonido... 🐺
I met Tom Swan in the 70's. He was one of the producers for Little Walter. He told me that to get that special sound, Walter played with a toilet bowl placed upside down over his head! Well, his head went in the bowl just enough to allow his hands to hold the harp! Also, an American toilet bowl is a bit larger than those in Europe!
I don't know where the mike was, maybe he held it in his hands.
