For my money, Sankey has one of the best self-accompaniments in the game.



Here he's breaking it down a bit.

@Elwood:

Notice the "straightness" of the backing juxtaposed against "pushing and pulling" of the improvisation. IMHO the depth of his tone + these subtle variations in timing = why Lee's playing rocks...

@All:

There are more valuable instructional vids on Lee's YouTube channel. Not to mention some great performances (including at least two of my favourite genre: the solo piece for diatonic harmonica and the rippingly good "Monkey Lips.")

Lee's YouTube channel

Should add that Lee will have a book coming out soon-ish. He's on to something *very* interesting indeed...

EDIT: can't resist posting "Monkey Lips." Too much fun.
