I still got my effect on. It’s very important to understand music. Learning the theory behind
it is what really makes you a better harmonica player. I would say get a piano, any kind
of keyboard, electronic keyboard is fine, and sit there and get those bends nice and
smooth. I’m thinking like a horn player but I’m using the blues riffs. For me, it’s
a study in jazz theory plus all the blues knowledge that I’ve acquired. If you can
work something else into your act, it’s going to help you get your foot in the door.
I’m a singer and I’m a harmonica player. There’s certain double stops that setup
nice in certain keys. If you’re in D flat. Now I’m using my tongue with the double
stops. I’m taking my tongue, now I’m going side to side. There’s all kind of effects
you can, you can do.
