Hey Kenneth,

Funny thing is, the link that you copy and pasted from http://www.bushmanmusic.com/forums - well, I was actually the original person who started that thread on that forum!

Us harmonica people must visit a lot of the same tin sandwich sites?!

:wink:

But hey, if you or anyone else figure out this little lick....please feel free and Reply!

Thanks again,

"The Giff"

There was a thread about this thing (the chair riff) on the http://www.bushmanmusic.com/forums, I have the link but at this moment I can't get the link to work, perhaps there is some trouble at site right now, but anyway here ya go 8-)

The Lick

Hey folks,

It's The Giff. I'm in seek of a little bit of help/good advice on how to exactly play the quick "Taylor Hicks riff" in the video below. I know that he's playing an E harp in 2nd position and that it sounds like he's doing a fairly simple 4/5 draw, slid to a 3 draw and then back up to a 4 blow?

But for some reason when I try the short riff, it just doesn't quite sound the same as ol' Taylor's? I mean, is he doing some special tongue articulation or blowing/drawing another note in there that I may be missin'?

I'd really love to get this little lick down because it does create a heckuva lot of tension before it finally resolves itself - and plus....it sounds AWESOME!

As always though, I'd really appreciate any help or benefecial tips that you good folks may be able to lend me on this.

:aww:

Thanks!
