See you next Wednesday for the next harmonica lesson!
Scratch My Back with no lyrics is more of a challenge to hear the chord changes. In listening to the backing track for the first time I felt it would be more useful if it paused between whole songs. If you got off beat that would allow for a clean startup again.
Thanks Tomlin…..
The entire lesson is great! The visual of the tabs and the clarity of the audio is really good. Thanks again and you take care……have a good life!

Wow! What a great tune! A challenge to play – I wish you wouldn’t make it look so easy!
