Exploring Paul Butterfield Part 2️⃣ ( FOUR Tabbed Licks) "C"

"Exploring Paul Butterfield Part 2" FOUR tabbed Butter licks and a second hand "Blues Story" at the end via Geoff Muldaur. I'm using a "C" Hohner Marine band by Tom Halchak of Blue Moon Harmonicas in the Key of G major (2nd Position/crossharp).
I hope Ya'll really dig this video as much as I sincerely enjoyed making it. Revisiting Butterfields playing for these lessons for yall has been really cool for me and has reinvigorated my respect for him as an artist and the impact he had on me. So thank YOU!

Jason. I have soooo many videos/ " Free Fridays " that are favorites. Not just for the learnings of music you provide, but also for your amazing insights; and ;commentaries; and feelings of music and the musicians' making the music. There is so much I could give you a standing ovation of appreciation for. So to that end I want to say a thankyou, and a standing ovation for your outstanding "Paul Butterfield Parts 1 & 2" videos. It's just so outstanding that you highlighted the awesome, Paul Butterfield, and some of his groundbreaking music, and playing techniques. These two videos have really become part of my all time favorites, and on the same favorites list as your " Pat Ramsey" series. Imho, Paul Butterfield cut his own path through the forest of music. He bequeathed to us the listeners' a wealth of music that can't be overlooked or lost in the dusts of time. Possibly he was the author of jazz, blues, and rock fusion on harmonica, and in his music. Similar to the great Ginger Baker on drums.This is only a guess on my part. But that's a feeling I get when listening to " Butter" and his band(s). So it's extremely kool of you Jason to make these videos on " Butter." As a fan of you and Butterfield, 3 cheers to you for bringing him front and centre, and into the spotlight where he justly deserves to be. It's soo kool when you do a series focusing on a specific muscian. So much learning, so enjoyable. ❤. Thanks Jason for being you and what you do. 😻.

[@jasonricci]

Geeesh! 💜💚🖤 Thank you! You know Butter got a lot of love by the world for a harp player but I find it very odd that most blues harp players, especially the pros DON'T give him any love... I don't get it? At all .. I don't think they've really listened past his early stuff. It's crazy. So THANK YOU for GETTING it. 100%

[@GentileFineArt]

Ive been "exploring" Paul Butterfield since I first picked up a harp when I first heard East West in the 60s, but nobody explains it better than you.

[@jasonricci]

Awe man thank you!

[@SnapperEarl]

This was great, LOVED the journey thru styles at the end.

[@harpo9279]

Fantastic lesson! And equally great story. Give us some more Butterfield Mooncat!

[@Philharpo]

Nobody played like PB before he came along. That makes him a true great. No question. Lovely to hear a breakdown of his style like this. Thank you!

Great lesson, great story and a great performance at the end! Your an inspiration Jason! 👏💯🎶

[@billstone3113]

Jason thanks for that great lesson and even better story. I grew up on Butter and Junior Wells and I still can't play much of it "As great as I am". :) Watching you knock off those licks with ease is something to behold! You are the Dr. of harmonica! See you Florida in a few weeks...

[@MarcoGidde]

Love that demonstration of the different styles at the end, and of course the great story. Thanks for all, J!

[@scottoleary3726]

He’s been my favorite since I started playing. Some of his best playing is on “Levon Helm and the RCO allstars, live at the palladium”. He steals the show. Also love his playing on the two Muddy Waters albums.

[@paulappletonharmonica3375]

Superb content and teaching methods … really enjoyed your insights and approach to the licks being taught and how to use them .. loved the story at the end as well 😎

Love this Jay.. PBBB was an early favorite for me, coming up in the 60s & early 70s - in an Upper Midwest 🎶🎉, among a vast mix of great musical talent & way-varied genres. My tastes & exposure eventually brought me to YOU & your powerful, unique Modern Harmonica... I greatly thank you always for the music, the teaching & the stories!! Nice work!

[@jasonricci]

Thank you! ❤️ 💙 💜

[@MrQba]

Thank you for your energie and motivation ! and thanks for the story when i practiced Everything Going To Be Alright. There are a few parts in the solo, I do not understand the rhythm and I just can not play it on time. then I realized that his sense of rhythm was just too briliant. the story confirms my feeling =)

[@zachvanslyke4341]

The improv you layed out at the end is about the best I’ve ever heard you play

Greetings from down under Oz! I have been a big fan of yours for many years. Great post loved the instructional part and your great stories. You are the real deal - honest, funny, knowledgeable and gifted.

Thank YOU Theo ❤️

[@OmniphonProductions]

15:05 - Shortly after I started seriously studying the harmonica (14 years ago, as of this month), I saw one of your videos and thought, "I'll never be as good as he is," and from a technical standpoint, I'm _still_ pretty sure that's true. However, little by little, I've realized that's okay. In fact, it's not just something we should learn to be _okay with;_ it's something we should _insist on._ The best version of _me_ doesn't (and _shouldn't)_ sound like _you._ It should sound like _me!_ Each of us sounding like _ourselves_ is better than _two_ of us sounding the same. Yes? As the great Billie Holiday said, "If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all." Thank you for helping me to discover and develop the best _me_ I can be.

[@kirkgombos4078]

Hey chief Kirk here from West Virginia ... I'm on my fifth week now playing tongue blocking and each day I'm getting better at it ... Tongue blocking definitely is the way to play ... Your right it allows you to just migrate into chords and dirt so much easier plus the tone definitely sounds better ... Glad you and the gang are having a great time at mardegra ... Ps , I watched that show again that Steven Geiger did back in December in Washington D C which is rare ... Steven only plays around the Philadelphia area . Once in awhile he venture's up to New York City to play ... Mark Wenner lives right there in D C and he and Geiger took a bunch of photos together ... Mark said after the gig Steven was the best harp player on the east coast ... Then he went on to say he gave us all a lesson tonight ... Just goes to show you even Mark Wenner whose been playing for fifty years and is a master is still learning about this little tin sandwich ... Anywho yeah tongue blocking is definitely taking my playing to another level .... Take care and remember your number one in the world ... That's a mighty big title to hold ... I know your wearing it with pride .... Rock on !!!!!

[@jasonricci]

My MAN!!!!!! Thanks for the positive report Big Chief! Always nice to hear those ones!!! Heart ❤️

[@mosfet51]

Day off, chores completed and a free Friday. Damn I'm blessed. Thank you J. You really are an amazing teacher showing the technicality of playing and making it super fun. You really know how to make one feel when they're not getting it. We can't be you or Butterfield or Miles Davis. Just be me. I love you bro.

[@jasonricci]

You're an amazing student!

[@davedoyle9623]

You're doing great work Jason! I followed Butterfield from my high school days in Los Angeles and would go see him and the lads whenever he gigged in town. He played thru a Fender Twin Reverb. I wish a Had access to those videos way back then. Keep it up Jason. We appreciate you. DD in L.A.

Great licks, Thank you. This has nothing to do with the forgoing but I was watching a video about a great classical violinist touring china; teaching everything to the Chinese and this teenage violinist came up on the stage, was encourage to play, and just blew the maestro away. With love from China.

[@patrickreninger5044]

Like your commentary. Butterfield's phrasing and time were impeccable. Used to play along with his records 20:47 before the school.bus left back in the 80's.. Thanks.for lessons.

[@gregranger9]

You have a great way of explaining things. I always love me some Butterfield. For anyone watching this , look for Butterfield’s version of Everything’s gonna be alright on KZbin. You’ll be able to put / practice all this wonderful stuff that Jason is teaching here with that. Thanks again Jason, great lesson.

Thank you! When I checked this video against other vids on my phone and computer they seem the same?

[@rs8034a]

Question: since there are so many draws in the first 2 licks, would it be wrong to play the 3 blow instead of the 2 draw? - Thanks for another great lesson!

Butterfield= basic harmonica player in the 21st C you should realise it is average move on , plenty of kiddy nobody's playing better than that. And their not alcoholic either .

[@jasonricci]

Not sure who you are but everyone's opinion is valid of course, so much love. From where I sit, there is NOTHING average about this performance in my professional opinion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKu5Y61tnreBjZo ... If your'e a harp player City Pulse surely you could make us a quick video on your'e phone demonstrating how you personally have moved on. Also The DSM has validated alcoholism as a disease, frequently genetic, that is anything but a character or moral flaw. Hoping for nothing but Love, Light and Kindess in all your musical and personal endeavors!
