"Help Me" is a blues standard first recorded by Sonny Boy Williamson II in 1963. The song, a mid-tempo twelve-bar blues, is credited to Williamson, Willie Dixon, and Ralph Bass and is based on the 1962 instrumental hit "Green Onions" by Booker T.
Daaaaayyyuuumm! That is probably the best multi-harp jam I have ever seen...and I have seen and participated in a lot of these. Each guy is absolutely stellar in his own unique style; they work together musically so well - just joyful exuberance all over the place!
@@jacksonbaker8281 Sorry Jackson, I don't know what Sugar was playing but it sure wasn't Sonny Boy Williamson's "Keep Your Hand Out Of My Pocket". I dug it anyway for the first five minutes until Sugar went into his full tilt "Sugar Blue meets John Popper" thing. He lost me there. Try it by Junior Wells...ruclips.net/video/4qF1YIF3iGU/видео.html
@@jacksonbaker8281 you've probably heard it; however, Showdown is the guitar version of Harp Attack with Robert Cray, Albert Collins, and Johnny "Clyde" Copeland. Fun to blow some harp to.

this is the greatest performance I have seen with multiple harp players on stage.
Agreed. Pure fire!!
Three monster egos on that stage, and not one of them stepped on any of the others
Absolutely right my friend. So very nice to appreciate that eh ....
The people giving this a thumbs down need to have their RUclips channels removed. This is amazing!

Wow this is the only peace of music I've ever heard that's moved me to tears.
Jason Ricci has swept the masters stage, his lines are unbeatable.
Absolutely, he has such force and groove behind his licks
He played one of the most muscular amplified harp licks I’ve ever heard at 2:14-2:20.
@@AmplifiedBluesHarmonicathat’s a Butterfield lick. Used it very well.
@@norfolknwhey4787 …yes, l can now hear Butterfield in that. Thanks, mate!! 👍🏼
Felt like listening to some harmonica and found this. Holy moly my prayers were answered.
What is kool about this is these guys aren't cuttin' heads. They're playing like they're a natural trio and showing respect.
Love it love the Blues❤❤❤❤
Awsome , amazing darn rt good harmonica players !! Love them
So so great a helping of the power of green onions these fellows sharing their gifts. Go Hamonicon👍❤️🙏

No doubt! Wow what an incredible jam!! Grinning from ear to ear at these 3 greats.
You do alright ya self, Hophead!! I’ve watched a few of your clips… 👍🏼
@@AmplifiedBluesHarmonica Thanks, mate! I checked out some of your clips, and I'm in awe of the massive, beefy tone you get on the harp...well done!
@@Hophead75 …you’re a player. I just make noise. Cheers, mate. 👍🏼

I've really come to appreciate the talent of Jason Ricci. Billy Branch, no question.
Sugar Blue? Dig his "Pontiac" and "Another Man Done Gone".
Check out a song on Spotify by sugar blue titled keep you hand outta my pocket. It’s a tribute to pine too Perkins and it’s unreal.
@@jacksonbaker8281 Sorry Jackson, I don't know what Sugar was playing but it sure wasn't Sonny Boy Williamson's
"Keep Your Hand Out Of My Pocket". I dug it anyway for the first five minutes until Sugar went into his full tilt

@@mitchgawlik1175 yea it definitely wasn’t keep your hand outta my pocket idk why it’s titled that. Yea that harp attack album is killer.
@@jacksonbaker8281 you've probably heard it; however, Showdown is the guitar version of Harp Attack with Robert Cray, Albert Collins, and Johnny "Clyde" Copeland. Fun to blow some harp to.
@@HoofHearted6 yea that’s a good album. I haven’t listened to it since I’ve been playing harp tho so I’ll revisit it

10:56 What is this technique called? Don't think ive ever heard anything quite like that lol.
I think it's some form of crazy fast throat vibrato?
@@ZenithMusicInc ya man its crazy sounding lol.
Hello from Australia. That throat technique at 10:56 is almost Kookaburra bird-like. Check out the Australian Kookaburra bird here: ruclips.net/video/H2wyBU2GzhQ/видео.html
It's a tongue flutter. Sometimes called tonguing.
@@chrisjaybeckernot a flutter, that’s when the tongue goes side to side. He was articulating Chika-tucka-tika quickly.
Good. God
Playing in harmonicas
Wtf that was me

But we play an instrument that you can't see while playing.
Nuossa!

You just did and I agree. It happens too often here. Don't people watch what they're posting?
Un blues sin armónica para mí es un blues incompleto lo siento pero es mi opinión personal
Rico Mc-FARM-land
Ich bin eher für klare saubere Töne bei der Mundharmonika.
