David Barrett “Here We Go“ Harmonica Masters, Trossingen Germany

“Here We Go” C Harp in G, 2nd Position This song appears on David Barrett’s CD “It Takes Three” with Gary Smith and Aki Kumar. In the liner notes he says, “The Tramp groove, based on Lowell Fulson’s song “Tramp,” has long been a favorite groove of mine. With a rhythm driven by 8th and 16th notes, it allows for fast playing and some very cool runs that traverse the entire range of the harmonica. I love the way William Clarke (check out “Pawn Shop Bound”), Junior Wells (“Messin’ with the Kid”) and Gary Smith (“Minor Mambo” on Blues Harp Meltdown) approach this groove—you’ll hear me quote some of their licks. – David Barrett“
