[Harp-L] RE: rack-harp tunes

["Hellerman, Steven L." <shellerman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My guitar-playing isn't very good. To say it sucks is an accurate description. But "Big River" is one I can pull off, guitar and harp on rack, it sounds pretty good. (Same chord progression for the whole tune, over and over. Just don't forget the 7ths.)
 
And at the risk of losing my secret repertoire (ha!), here's another: "Don't Pass Me By" by the Beatles; off the White Album, written and sung by the world's alltime favorite singing drummer.
 
A good straight harp tune for rack: "Save the Last Dance for Me" by the Drifters. 
 
Okay, can't betray any more secrets, lol.

One song that I have always thought that should be played with a 12-string guitar and harmonica is Johnny Cash's "Big River".  To my ears it has that "chunka chunka" rhythem with a screaming blues sound.  Let me know what you think.
