American Harmonica Newsletter September 1997 By Phil Lloyd

How many times have you heard somebody tell you that he learned a song off the record? So you go out and buy your favorite disc, take it home and slap it on your player and grab your harp. If you're like most people, you play the disc a few times and you're lucky if you can figure out the key of the tune you want to learn. So, what is wrong with this picture? People have been learning songs off records since records came out.

Some people just seem to have a natural inclination for picking up the licks. They just seem to know where to look for them and recognize them when they hear them. What about the rest of us? What are we supposed to do? As Dan Huckabee tells it, taking licks off recordings is basically a trial and error process-but the idea is to make it a more educated process. All you have to do is get a copy of Huckabee's video tapes that explain and demonstrate it all to you.

Dan has two tapes: Music Learning Devices Compared & Demonstrated is a 30-minute video tape that is an excerpt form his two-hour "How To Figure Out Music From Recordings". Both tapes are worthwhile and contain a wealth of knowledge. If you're familiar with the Musician's Workshop Catalog, you may be aware of these devices used to break down a song by isolating licks: but if you haven't seen the equipment, just reading about it is not going to tell you the whole story. That's why these videos are s helpful.

Product Description

We at Musician’s Workshop caused a minor revolution in 1977 when we started offering half-speed recorders especially for the purpose of "figuring out licks off of records." At that time, only a few people were practicing this valuable secret. 25 years later, we are still helping people to get started learning music "all by yourself" by listening to your favorite CD & trying to figure out what your hero has played. In this 2-hour video you will learn the history of lick learning, the ear training benefits, & how the process actually works the same for all instrument. You will see a complete & thorough demonstration of all the lick-learning machines as well as how each works & sounds. But most of all, we will show the reason why "figuring out licks off of records" is absolutely the most important, valuable, & fulfilling way to learn to play a musical instrument, & truly the only way to develop your ear!

(2-hours) Includes: Matching tones to simple songs, learning easy & difficult licks from hit records, preparing the recording for analysis, tuning up to the recording, figuring out what key it’s in, figuring out chords & chord progressions, special problems for fingerpicking, harmonica, bass, drums, figuring out musical ornaments, developing artistry, & much more! Watch Dan actually figure out licks, solos & chords , from several songs, (using several different instruments) as he explains the secrets & the use of the devices. On VHS or DVD. check out its companion: Understanding the Formula of Music!
