I know that technique is probably more important than just doing a lot of mediocre licks. However, it can get pretty monotonous and discouraging just to practice technique. If my friends want me to play something, its no fun just playing bend exercises and octave tongue blocks. I have the Sonny Terry Lick Book by Tom Ball which I enjoy a lot. I was wondering if there are any other materials that are similar. Does Tom plan to do any additional books like this, analyzing other individuals' techniques.
I read in Kevin's harp catalog there is a book called Progressive blues harmonica licks. Is that any good. It would just be fun to have a number of different licks that I can mix around, just to enjoy playing.
