A friend asked me to sit in and play "My Babe" with him later this month. This tutorial is worth its weight in gold. THANK YOU, WILL WILDE!

Great lesson of an old time blues classics ! Very well explained and demonstrated Hats Off

[@hammer6580]

Excellent lesson, thanks. LW was so good at phrasing (and everything else!)

[@gaijin134]

Thanks Will! You have captured the subtleties and nuances very well. Good clear explanation. Many thanks.

[@Harmonicacom]

Glad you enjoyed it! Rock on, Luke

[@stevenwalker2558]

I learned a lot since I got this phone people love my blues harp playing and I'm not as good as you but I hold my own(laughed).Thank you bro!

[@veedubc]

This is the song that made me look into harp playing after being a guitarist for years, brilliant! Thank you! By any chance can you make a lesson on "Call Me Willie" from the Crossroads movie?

[@norfolknwhey4787]

Gussow has a video explaining it

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

I appreciate the advanced lesson. I can do all this stuff, but not all together yet. More time efficient than when I learned Juke by dropping the needle over and over and over and over….again in the late 70s.

[@jonathanpalmer3587]

You’re the best. Thank you so much. Incredibly helpful. Please keep it up especially with some really tough songs.

[@Harmonicacom]

Thanks Johnathan. I agree!

[@samclark342]

Awesome stuff, I've been trying to find help with this for a long while! Many thanks

[@simonwiltshire]

[@jamesvstone6516]

I aspire to blues harp mediocrity. But I also just watch the video all the way through just to marvel at the amount of talent on display here.

[@GwenHolt]

Well done! Thank you!

[@ricardomjollnir5998]

Thank you for sharing this lesson

[@PTSuperSte]

Thanks again Will as I know you don't enjoy breaking even the easy songs down and this is advanced and don't break it's self down. Yeah well said don't go into basics and then assume I need to know what a double stop is haha

[@Harmonicacom]

Right on!

[@BaltasarM]

As a beginner i must say. If Amazing Grace song explained by Luck... Is giving me a hard time to put it together ... Decently ... I guess Will's videos gonna give me years of practicing . 😂 Damn there is such big professionals out there.... Have a great 2024 y'all !

[@Harmonicacom]

Step by step Max! Happy New Year!

[@warnerbaxter5973]

Thanks Will . Excellent

[@boystone]

Great tutorial Will!

[@mcgillivrayguitars]

Brilliant, thanks!

[@nellius126]

Great Video!!! Only a question that is not clear for me. At the minute 6:00 you explain another part on three and four holes drawed together, two times half step bend, then one time one step bend and again one time half step bend. How can i do this? Can you explain me better please? Thanks Will.

[@gianlucablaco9553]

Great job thank you so much!

[@FAHRENHEIT451JL]

Cheers for writing tab aswell dude. Awesome

[@johnnycamposflute]

My god, man! So perfect

[@maddom]

I noticed here Will's harp's 1 draw rattles when he draws on it too hard I assume. My Special20 in A does the same thing. Does anybody know of a way to fix that?

[@Harmonicacom]

Hmmmm. I'm not much of a "fixer" sorry!

[@daver.253]

very good lesson

[@raymondallanwing]

great will

[@howardharp]

This would have been handy and less challenging than using the cue lever to move the tone arm back on the album that is showing behind you. Nice video!

[@franksaragomusic6508]

ARE THE TABS WRITEN DOWN? IF YES ,,, WHWEW CAN I FIND THEM?

[@ladyrat11556]

i need this video in spaish!!! D: I will try to translate it... Amazing!!!

[@HarPlayer]

4 GET Spanish!!!!!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠!!!!!!!! Learn ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄

[@sanfranciscocitytour8016]

I loved it but I like just here and you play the whole song

[@lollertoaster]

I could've sworn he was playing chords, not singular notes. Now I know why I never even got close to playing this lick.

[@menanassif]

[@davidembrey6808]

Thanks dude

[@fabianocerri]

Hey man, your harp is B or Bb?

[@Harmonicacom]

Hey Fabiano - that's a Bb he's playing 2nd position, key of F. Rock on! 🤘🏼 Aloha, Luke

[@AvidEric]

Any chance to get all the tabs of this video in the video description box?

[@mathieugallant9129]

Pause it and Write it ?

[@haraldgundersen7303]

Harp B flat

[@TommyWaters-ql5di]

That's pretty hard to do?

[@Harmonicacom]

Yeah Tommy, Little Walter is no joke.

[@tonyhorne6366]

[@jamesmares4206]
