One way attack this is to try playing the recurring melody line of the tune. When the guitarist is soloing, the groove continues to be established. Steve Freund recorded a very similar ooze on his tune called Big Blue Mama. I believe it was Steve Guyger played harp on it. Robert Nighthawk used this groove on "Gonna Move To Kansas City". ---------- The Blues Photo Gallery Last Edited by on Mar 26, 2011 1:26 PM
