That was the topic for the workshop Ronnie Shellist presented at Ziggies in Denver last Sunday. Here is a short clip: (get your A harp, 1st position)



Nice, eh? Ronnie has the complete audio course with all eleven riffs available on his website:

My current "favorite" lick, or combination of licks evolved from a Ronnie Shellist download lick starting on the four bend. I took a country lick I got from Todd Parrott, tranposed it into the blues scale and put it on the end of that. Then I took the opening lick of Carlos Santana's guitar solo in his cover of Sunshine of your love, and stuck it in front of the Shellist lick. OR...I can put the Santana lick at the end. It's 28 16th notes in a row. It just flies out of the harp and has a "different" sound.
