re: practce



First off, good job focusing on Little Walter in your practice schedule. If 
you want to play blues harp, you need to know the language and Little Walter 
speaks the language as well as anyone. I find the hardest part to cover is 
the little quick slurs that connect the riffs. 

Most people make the make the mistake of practicing the whole song all the 
way through. Only practice the hard parts. Practice that little slur between 
those two riffs. Play it painfully slow, over and over and over until you 
nail it. 

I wouldn't work on just one song for any long amount of time. I'd have three 
or four things going-try a Junior Wells 3rd position riff, a Little Walter 
riff, a chromatic riff, etc.Find some musicians to jam with so you have a 
use for those cool riffs.
