Re: [Harp-L] Chromatic Solo (Rob Paparozzi)

Madcat,

Well I'll let Jon answer that as he studied with Tommy but basically the rule is KNOW who's record it is, Never overplay and make the ARTIST sound good and you've earned your pay and will get asked back!,-)

Now here's a session I did with my own band years back….since my piano player was the singer on this tune I made sure to "underplay" and make him sound good w/ some very laid back and non flashy fills on Diatonic……sometimes leaving space requiring a lot of listening,,,,keep it simple and 'always' respect the melody….

Everybody's Crying Mercy - The Hudson River Rats….

all the best,
Rob Paprozzi
