[Harp-L] RE Little Walter's harmony/Let's all talk Little Walter!

[Nicholas Lovett <lovett.nicholas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks,

The insights were really helpful... the best piece of advice is how Little Walter leaves the three hole natural instead of flatting it, breaking some rules.  This creates the "frothy effect" heard on many of his records.  Like in "Rocker" he uses the three blow instead of the two, then the three draw to set up his swing like riff.  I think he also uses the three draw because it gives the riff a lighter tone.  After the three natural he does a little slide often to the four draw?  Is this correct?  Let's all pro it up an get together to talk some Little Walter, instead of Custom Harps and Jason Ricci!(Nothing wrong with either of these btw)
