RE: [Harp-L] youtube videos on guitar backup for harmonica

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

!!Good Stuff!!
This is exactly the sort of thing I've been working on the past few months.
I've (seemingly) advanced quite a bit with my playing technique on harp and
the "advancement" has caused me to have to deal with the question of how
much guitar vs. how much harp.
I often use a 12-string, so sometimes, my strategy/projected-outcome has to
be a little different, but it was nice to have names given to some of the
muting techniques I use on the guitar. 
With the 12-string, I have to watch out for the inherent "jangle", the
tendency toward a twang that threatens to take over the whole sound space
and I don't get, without some tweaking, the same dependable rhythm you're
advocating in the bass, but still, I really enjoyed these videos.
I'm wondering... If you ever combine leads, that is, play part of a chord on
the harp and part on the guitar during a solo/lead break. 
 In any event, I enjoyed the videos, the harp playing and if you ever choose
to add more on that theme, I'll certainly be checking it out.

Subject: [Harp-L] youtube videos on guitar backup for harmonica

I recently posted two videos on playing rhythm guitar as backup for
harmonica or vocals. They focus on specific ways to back up harp without
getting in the way.

here is the lilnk: http://www.youtube.com/rsleighharp

Check them out if you are working with a guitar player or if you are a rack
player, and let me know if they are useful.

Thanks!
