I am going to sit in with a band at one of their rehearsals this week and I know that they are going to throw a few Chuck Berry tunes at me, but I really struggle with playing harp to what Jimi Lee calls the 'Rock Beat'.

Can anyone suggest a few good youtube videos with harp or sax players playing to the rock beat/Chuck Berry groove so that I can steal some ideas?

Check out Andy J Forest. He plays a fair bit of Rock 'n' Roll harmonica. Also just search YouTube for "Chuck Berry Harmonica" and you'll get a few examples of playing to Chuck's style.

I had a search on youtube the other day, but I couldn't find much that I liked apart from a few cool versions of Johnny G Goode.

I will check out Andy J Forest videos and have another look at Hakan's videos to see if I missed anything.
