I was looking around and I realized that whenever i heard old bottleneck style slide guitar blues, I couldn't help but grab my harp. Every time.

I was wondering what kind of stuff makes you Guys/Gals want to pick up your harp and Jam Along? What is completely irresistable to you?


Here's something like what I'm talking about.

Did anyone know, that after the video is done on the forums, you can search another one? Or play related clips? and The "Embed" link is there too.

I'm the same way, Miles--except--sometimes I find that I'm the one playing the slide!

That's Kennilee Burgess--I sometimes call him the Gussow of Bottleneck. He also has a lot of good instructional stuff on YT--if anybody wants to learn. You can buy a CD of them on Ebay for ten bucks.

I just got back into slide a couple of months ago--it is really a lot of fun, and I'm just starting to be able to play harp on a stick with it. . .

Eric Clapton's CD of Robert Johnson covers. Me and Mr. Johnson.

Gotta pick a harp up.

Particularly - When You Got A Good Friend.

No. Miles, I'm from Washington--North of Seattle.

Yeah, Honkin! That CD is almost all in the key of A--I have worn out a D harp or two on that one. . .

Oh, man, all of these are great music! I just gotta get me one of them tin cans! That sound (with maybe a little harp) just moves my soul. . .

The first guitarists that spring to mind to mind for me are Warren Haynes, and Carlos Santana.
Probably single song that makes me wish I could play on the harp along with it THE MOST would be Kenny Wayne Sheperd's "Blue on Black". My god, that song friggin rock's!

Oh yeah, how could I forget Lynyrd Skynyrd! What the hell was I thinking? If their brand of southern rock doesn't scream out for me to play some amplified and distorted blues harp along with it, I don't know what does.
