Fluid, funky, with unusual turns and twists along the way. This is the kind of harmonica playing I got nuts over. Very fine. ---------- Ted Burke http://youtube.com/watch?v=-VPUDjK-ibQ&feature=relmfu ted-burke.com
Would someone please remind me what the backing track to this is. I think I have it but can't find it. If I can't locate it, anyone know where I can get it. Many thanks. ----------
@tookatooka The backingtrack is called Funky Blues in G and not too long ago you could download it on http://www.ultijamtracks.com/contestIIIresults.html in relation to a jam contest :)
@Mathias Thanks just downloaded Vol 2 from the site. Just been reading about you from Brendan, then saw your YouTube with the bass player. Wow! Hats off to you Sir. ----------

Great stuff, straight in your face harp, no mics, amps, loopers or effects to hide behind here. Unadulterated skill. This is what it's all about for me.
Hello and thank you for the The comments. Great to upload and get such good feedback. Backtracks comes from Ultimate Blues Jam Tracks and was part of the competition - I was just 18 months too late. Paul Butterfield I've never really grown - but know his playing style and sound. I've been around a lot of different harp player and believe I have developed some quirky turnarunds from Mark Ford, - as I listened to for the 17-18 years ago. But otherwise I have all listened to little walter, sonnyboy - gary primich. I think if you have to develop his harp his game - try to play to be anything other than blues. Try something old soul funk with Marceo Parker - or the meter and try to mimic their rhythm and blow. Of course plays adam g and carlos del Junco a funky a very unusual and personal harp. I have listened to Satan and Adam and there is also a Finnish guy called pepe Ahlquist - have played some harp thing-which is quite amazing. see you soon Lars Ringgaard
