war about the musical credibility of any musician or
harp player.  The opinions that follow are solely that

That guy who plays harp for Blues Traveler plays some
awesome rhythm parts, IMO.  Does anybody have any
insight as to what/how he does this?  I know he uses a
Leslie effect alot, but I've had a really hard time
trying to learn his B3 like rhythm playing.

Is it partial chords?  Octaves? Chugging?

I think the Leslie effect really makes it hard for me
to figure out.  I've always said one day I'd sit down
and dedicate a lot of time to that style of comping. 
Now that I am going to, I don't know where to start!!!

Thanks,
