Great stuff! Exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out. I’m trying to move past practicing scales and riffs to playing along with songs, and I needed just a little help with how to do that.

Fun lesson with great suggestions Ed. Especially as I am so improvisationally challenged! I like that you name dropped Van the Man with Moondance (Van's a very decent harp player too!) The Hobo T-Shirt is awesome!! :)

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

I didn't know Van played harp!

What is the name of your harmonica. It sounds great

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

thanks! It's a Marine Band crossover with a custom comb.

[@MrSupersidewinder]

Comping is a real skill... Very confusing and difficult to teach... One has to jump in and FEEL it...

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

exactly!

[@turkeytrac1]
