    I plan to do it step for step. This phrase was played on an A harp 2nd position. It’s Mitch’s DynaMic combined with the Spark40 amp as sound interface and recorded on the iPad using DolbyOn.

    Have fun

    Hey Udo!

    Happy new year. This is awesome. I love it. You sound great and I can’t think of a better challenge for you right now than learning some classic Little Walter. Great stuff!

    Keep us posted :)

    Hey Udo!

    Great timing, but a little off pitch on those quick bends. One the two hole, if you are looking to do those real quick bends to add flavor, bend a little deeper, and same on the three hole.

    Try again!!

    Mitch,

    Thanks for your feedback. Are these quick bends thought to reach the half step? I wasn’t sure. Thanks for clarification.

    I’ll try again 😎

    Hi Udo,

    I love to follow you with your story, in order for me to learn to bend better. It is one thing to do the practice exercise and it is so different when we have to bend with the perfect timing. Your journey is my inspiration.

    Back at chorus 2. It’s been a while, practicing tone, and bends.

    Enjoy the weekend

    You can tell how much you have been working on this… it’s cool to hear this really starting to come together. That tone is sounding so rich! Nice work Udo!

    Hey Udo! How is Juke coming along? I’ve been working on it lately too. It’s a lot of fun, no?!

    In the chorus, the dip definitely goes down to the full 2-draw bend, and I hear Little Walter quickly hitting the 1-draw after that dip sometimes too. It’s a good exercise too for me for tone quality and breath control to sound a clean 2-draw when proceeded by a quick “-1 +2” in the same volume. Near the end of the chorus before the vamping on the 2-draw, he scoops up from -3′ to -3: -5 -4 +5 +6 -5 -4 +5 -3′ -3 -2

    Hope all is well
