I assume it's Junior Wells playing harp in the Muddy Water's tune, ~I Live The Life I Love And I Love The Life I Live~. In any case it is a classic example of how harp could/should sound. It's the kind of song I'd never bother ~tabbing out~ because it sounds pretty obvious- - -but now I have to cover it and- - - I don't sound like that! [no wise cracks].
Maybe my old recording it slightly off- but, for instance, in the solo, the first time he hits the 6 blow [It's an ~A~ harp, in E]: I can not reproduce that! I finally figured out that he's hitting the 3-6 octave, but, still, it sounds like he's bending something. Is that just his hand-cupped wah-wah sound??? I really can not figure that note out. Does anyone have this solo tabbed out? Any insights?
Thanks in advance, Robb
P.S. I see Rod Piazza is going to be at Harvell's in Santa Monica. Pretty small club. I used to work next door and I could imagine that to be a GREAT venue for him. It used to be a real Dive, but even then it had ~something~ perfect for his kind of Blues. I'd check it out, you southern Californians.
