Kitchen Blues - Juzzie Smith playing a Diddley Bow

This Instrument is called a Diddley Bow. Just One String a Tomato Can a Plank of Wood and a Bottle Neck for a slide. Notice how you can press the Can to drop the tone. I tuned this One string to key E and joined in with a Key A harmonica (Classic 1847 by Seydel). This is called Cross Harp playing. By sucking on holes 123 you have a E chord then blowing 123 you have A chord. For more harmonica lessons please check out my 67 lesson course called Press Play & Blow Away 💿HARMONICA LESSONS: Thanks to Stan Ceglinski for making this Diddley Bow.
