San Francisco-based Gary Smith, master of the blues harmonica - who is reputed for having some of the most adroit tonal control over the instrument - hosts the instructional program Gary Smith: Amplified Blues Harp Demystified. Aimed primarily at intermediate and advanced players of the blues harp, Smith's ninety-minute program addresses three areas of performance, and devotes equal time to each: improving tone and style, building a more thorough comprehension of microphones and amplifiers, and working more fluidly with other musicians.
