This solo is my ‘White Whale’ - been try’n to crack the sucker since 1973 . . . most other people’s versions are ok, though pretty straight forward, but this one is the Rubik’s Cube of solo’s . . . Oh well, looks like it’s back to the drawing board, AGAIN !!! Sorry to my neighbours Thank you for posting son, this means a lot for me

The harp player is the great Norton Buffalo. Nice lesson

Norton Buffalo did play on a couple of Doobies tunes in the later 70’s but, not this one. Tom Johnston played the harp on this song.

Play it more in its entirety. This would help grasp it easier. Chopped up like this is tuff to comprehend.

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much! It's actually simpler than I expected. Note I said simpler, not easier. I expect the challenges with this will be timing, achieving speed, and the doing it all consistently.

I play the last line as +3 x 6 because the feel is more percussive using diaphragm hits (releasing the build pressure, if that makes sense)

Classic harp solo! I've done it once or twice with my band, but this really spells it all out; thank you! BTW, is the Special 20 your favorite harp? It sounds great, in my opinion.

@Learntheharmonica 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, glad you liked the video! Yeah I find the S20 is a good compromise for me - reliable, playable, but not too expensive.

He absolutely missed the entire theme. High speed trains ooze from the song. The Doobies pour coal into that fire box. The harmonica IS the steam locomotive. Sexy too, right? The host of the video is an amateur brick layer.
