Here is a video of me playing "Foggy Mountain Breakdown"



I figured out the licks which are easier to play on a harmonica for this tune. But I wish I could have more licks to play. Could someone plz recommend me some other versions of this tune or give me some advice so I can learn more licks from?

Yeah, this is really great. Maybe learn some of the original guitar licks first, then transcribe them to harp. Could be a good way to learn them.

Challenging song either way!

That was awesome. How long have you been playing?

What versions are you listening to? Trying to copy the fiddle starting at around 0:55 in this one might be a fun challenge.

Thank you all for the replies and advice :) I will try to learn from other instruments. Learning from other instruments is a good idea, thank you!

@Calvin
I'm listening to exactly the version you posted XD
I've been playing the harmonica for about 9 years.

Well done Paseaf! While listening I closed my eyes and could envision Warren Beatty & Faye Dunaway tooling across the countryside in their Ford convertible with the "laws" hot on their heels.
