Big Legged (Kingfish Jones) Posted by: 12gagedan Video duration: 392 seconds This one features Earl "the Pearl" Phenix taking on vocal/band-leader duties, on top of some killer organ playing.

Dan Gage's Harmonica Over Jam Track (3-A) Posted by: 12gagedan Video duration: 500 seconds This is part 1 of a 2-part lesson, working with a Gm groove that's very similar to the tune "Help Me".

It's a C harmonica playing over Gm.   Search for a video theme of your choice. You like it? Share it!
