This entire post is one of the best I have seen in my many years on Harp 
- -L....For those of us intermediate (wishing we could get better) players, this 
simple thing is so hard to do. I have long been a Charlie McCoy fan and   maybe 
that has held me back in the blues.. And though I'm not exactly sure yet, what 
playing behind the beat is, I'm getting closer and this helps me a lot..
Thanks..
