So I (guitar player) was telling my friend (harp player) about Charlie's version of this Duke Pearson jazz tune, and looking to figure out which harp to use, so we can work it up in our duo. So the song actually modulates back and forth between 2 minor keys (vamp on Cm-F, and vamp on Gm-C), while the melody stays the same in both keys (weird). Cm is relative to Eb (uh, Ab harp? but no), and Gm is relative to Bb (uh, Eb harp? but no). And late one night with tequila we're also talking about quantum theory and we happen on your video. And the light bulb comes on. Playing Bb harp in 3rd position in 2 different minor keys is a textbook example of musical quantum theory. Fantastic video Will!! You have 2 new fans.
Very nice, thank you for sharing
Great feeling will injoyed loved the lesson bloody ink ran out of my pen 🤣🤣
Thanks you great video. Cristo Redentor originally by Duke Pearson -
Thanks so much! Great song choice and it's rare for tabs to actually be accurate!
Thanks for sharing, great lesson here!
It's still going in September 2021. What a star you are Will. Thank you soo much. You sound awesome. 'Wonder what you are up to NOW. The majority of musicians(and photographers alike) don't want to give the secrets away. I hope you are in good health during this Pandemic. (who would have thought!)
I'm OK thanks, I've been working on a new project and will be launching a new hard rock band soon.
@@willharmonicawilde 'would love to hear your version of harp vamping to shuffle dance complete with the dancing girls! ! ! would take the harp at least to another level.
Damn it...I can get the bend, but I just can't get my eyebrows to do that...btw...great lesson...thank you
I like the way you do the Clint Eastwood squinty eyes when you play, lol
Some great insights provided in particular your understanding of using throat, diaphram and other bodily elements as integral part of playing harp on that song. Not many have the self awareness of that. Have seen Charlie play that song live and I knew it was in 3rd pos, but I have never seen it broken down like that. Excellent presentation, your'e a natural teacher and yes if people want the tab then the should make the effort themselves to pause the video. If you ever tour Australia I hope you will do some workshops. Thanks and cheers.
So sweet! Thanks Will! Simply fantastic instruction!
awesome!!
Thanks Will.
Taught well.Played well.
wow this song is bad ass love it
Excellent tutorial on this tune, man. Really nice breakdown.
first off the song title is Cristo Redentor 2nd it was written by Duke Pearson (circa 1961) 3rd Donald Byrd did the trumpet version you cite the finally Charlie did us Blues fans his version - it is a kind of primer in the minor Blues -made for harmonica
Thanks Will, awesome playing, and thanks for the tabs
Nice one Will. Charlie Musclewhite does a wonderful train " The Lark " on an albulm called " Cristoredemter" by Harvey Mandel which has a totaly different version of Christoredemtor .
To find the Lark you have to go to Harvey Mandeland. Charlie gets no credit for his amazing playing .
Hey Will,
You do great videos mate.. Always informative and well explained👌🏻
Aha. This sounds like a perfect tune to practice those pesky 3 hole bends. I've also got a Bb harp, so I can't make no excuses. I'll start first thing tomorrow! ;) Great lesson by the way..
Thanks so much for breaking that down. I've always loved that song, but couldn't figure it out. Trouble bending the dew 2 on my 20 year old Marine Band. Guess I'll have to spring for a more responsive harp.
Thanks Will.
Great lesson. I'm a subscriber now.
Thank you!!
Thanks, Alex
Amazing
Didn't realize the tune was in 3rd position Bb. I have been playing it with an F harp. 😮
Great Video, how about to make one about Chicago Sunset from Charly? I am try since long time, with not enogh success .
Nice!
Should I be feeling a click in my throat, like a small dull pop when using vibrato? Or be doing it without that feeling?
Yes, you will get that with heavy/intense throat vibrato.
I took my D harp out to the subway late last night and tried to play it bur it wasn't very good until the last note. Strange.
I was wondering if you remember what version of the song you had on your video. I just played my vinyl lp and it was different? I'm sure he plays it differently sometimes. Just wondering what version you were playing so I can play along with it? Thank you
2OldProductions it's the extended version, you can find it on youtube
I can't comment properly...I'm still in a beautiful trance... *Sigh*
What letter of harmonica are you playing
Great lesson Will ,,actually Duke Pearson wrote it,,,,
David Doyle I stand corrected . Thanks
He was a trumpeter
What brand of harmonica is that
Seydel 1847
I like this video but the one that you're playing along with does not sound near as good to my ear as the original christo redemptor that was on Charlie musselwhite stand back the Album.
That three draw bend is difficult to get right on pitch.
You just have to keep working it.
I do like the way.you break down these blues classics
Donald Byrd did not write Christo redemptor neither did Charlie Musselwhite or Canned Heat
No it was written by Duke Pearson, but I believe the first recording of it was by Donald Byrd.
