Smoke Stack Lightning For Harmonica 🎵

[@MrSpanky2001]

My wife is always comparing my playing to Jasons'. She says........."you can't play anything like Jason" Ooow!

[@jasonricci]

Awe man! Tell her "he's not me either!"

It's my pleasure brother.

[@timothyhenderson5359]

Thanks for the variations and background of material.Patreon is blessed to have you.

[@jasonricci]

Thank you for the support! SINCERELY!

[@threedogracing]

You are definitely a dedicated man Mooncat! I loved this lesson, can't stop trying to play it! Glad you home and all is well.

[@rayriemer1080]

Thanks for the Free Fridays !! Would you consider doing one that explains your strategy/tips that you use to make your improv match up to the style of music that you are covering? Maybe play against 2 different pieces of music and explain the differences. Love your stuff. Keep up the good work & happy holidays.

[@jasonricci]

Great suggestion!

[@rayriemer1080]

@@jasonricci You da man. Thanks

Love how much you make it sound like your Harmonica is actually HOWLING... really gives me that haunting feeling of hearing a pack of Wolves at 2am, echo through the dark dry Desert landscape. 💜🎙🤙🏽🌠🌛

[@jasonricci]

@@EleniEliades_Thank you E.E.! I'm really into woofs! I can't wait for that werewolves movie! 😂

Thanks for this one! He gets such huge tone on that 3 draw in the original recording this has always been my favourite Chester Burnett tune.

@@PopsRedA what you not into the Woof? 🐺 😸

[@jamestramontano8491]

I have been following many different teacher's videos over the course of of quite some time and have found your's the most inspirational and entertaining and relatable also because like you I have been severely been Bipolar most of my life and if it wasn't for music particularly The Blues I would Not be here today.

[@jasonricci]

Moon Cat !! this is one of the few songs i can play on my lap steel guitar now i'm gonna have to buy a rack so i can play harp at the same time or a looper pedal. Thanks again for a great lesson. Merry Xmas !! ALL HAIL FREE FRIDAY !! Austin- 3:17🌛🐱!!

[@harpo9279]

Great lesson in spite of the fact that you must be exhausted. How about doing Wolf’s Commit a Crime for your next free Friday? Thanks for this Jay!

[@jasonricci]

Alright!

[@toamille]

thanks again! I saw the YA YA room last night with Anders Osborne. Cheers!

[@jamestramontano8491]

Hello Jason..I've been following you for what feels like forever and I would please like some advice on what I could possibly do to try to make better progress with reaching an accurate 3 hole whole step and 1/2 bend..I cannot come anywhere near it.

[@jasonricci]

@@jamestramontano8491 have you seen my vids on that ?

[@jimmy59ca2001]

beautiful, i cant play anything the same way twice, hey Jason, how well did you know Sean Costello, one of my all time blues guy just like you, rock on

[@jasonricci]

We were friends. I met him when he was just a kid. We hung out a little after festivals and talked and talked on the phone a lot towards the end. Miss him a lot. Might have been the best I ever saw.

[@СергейСтепашкин-м9в]

Thanks for the great riff. I keep confusing Smokestack Lightning with commit a crime.

[@luigibordonaro8187]

looking good, bro. I met you at Maui Saloon in Tarzana. You were sick as a dog and still put on a clinic. Glad to see you survived the trip. Merry Christmas and a great new year!!! Btw, what was the lick you were doing on the song "Tired of Trying" (I think that's what it was called).

[@jasonricci]

God Bless you Luigi. Means a lot because I really felt bad about that gig. 💜

[@devilsboxcar3925]

Great video….check out ‘Blue n Lonesome’ by David Honeyboy Edward’s for a different use of the lick

[@jasonricci]

@devilsboxcar3925 will do!

[@jeffboyer4204]

Eyyyyyyooooooo

[@Human_Herbivore]

I think it sounds best if the 2" is at the end of the lick and not at the start or isn't at the end and is at the start.

[@TomAitken-y7i]

I still prefer Keith Relfs version over The Wolf, but great song either way.
