[Harp-L] easy blues tunes



Welcome to the wonderful world of endless jamming on easy cheesy songs.

Get someone to show your guitarist the Smokestack Lightning riff then jam for
hours. Once you get that down, play the Animals(or is it Mitch Ryder and the
Detroit Wheels?) version of CC Rider which is just Smokestack Lightning played
with blues chord changes. Turn on Your LoveLight has all of 2 chords (except
for that tricky part with the horns which you can just ignore)and of course all
beginners should learn the Bo Diddley riff and the John Lee Hooker riff.The Not
really blues Woodie Guthrie Talking blues riff is great too. Make up words.
They always start with

"Woke up this morning it was a bright fine day..."

On the harp it's mandatory to know how to play train rhythms.I'd buy an A harp
and a D harp and later move up to a G and a C harp as well.
