I got the video finished and ready to share with everyone! This was our very first trip to Negril and we are in love! We had such an incredible time and our hotel, Country Country was amazing! We will definitely be returning. Hope you enjoy the video!
Nice video!
Good job.
Great Video and good choice of music!!
Herman is my favorite beach musician and I am looking forward to seeing him during our stay!!
I am a amateur blues harp player (some would say very amateur!) and have tried to jam with him in the past. I have to admit I have never figured out Reggae on a harmonica. If it ain't a 12 bar blues I am lost!!.
Maybe I should give it another go. After all I will be here for three more weeks.
Thanks for your post.
YaMon,
Ted

I'm just an amateur on guitar too. It was difficult for me to figure out his tuning at first. He actually tunes down a half step similar to how Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and other guitar greats do. I think it makes it easier for him to sing along. I'm not sure if that will help you on the harmonica or not, but once I realized that he was tuned down, everything came together for me.
I've found reggae to actually be similar to 12-Bar blues in some songs. For example, Stir It Up uses the same I, IV, V (A, D, E) pattern that is in blues music. Hope that helps.
