Hi,
I am new here, just wanted to say hi and ask a question.
I heard a catchy tune on a YouTube video (posted below) and wondered if anyone knows what it is and who does it. The video is by Ben Bouman and he is reviewing a Marble Amp. I am assuming the music is his, but I can't find the full tune anywhere.
It is just 10 to 15 seconds of intro, but it is sticking in my head.
Sounds to me like -4 -3 3 2 repeated quite a few times on a D -harp then moves on to other stuff. This description really doesn't do it justice, since it is the rhythm that is catchy.
If anybody has the time to listen to it and know what it is I'd appreciate it.

That's not a tune. That's every tune. He's just jamming. Generic (Chicago) slow blues style.

It's an instrumental called Zipper partly used on the intro to the Harpsucker vids on youtube. You can download it for a $1.00 here on tradebit.

Harp2swing: Thanks so much for that link.....that is it exactly! To me that just seems like a tune that I like and I can learn. I am at a stage where some stuff is too easy and some stuff is just too hard, this one seemed just right. Appreciate you taking the time to respond. All the best....

I like that one! Thanks. I need to work on the G harp, takes a lot more breath control for me anyways. I wasn't even aware of this Butterfield Album, so double thanks... :-)
