Just listened to your playing - i used to go to church in the past.
Playing stacked tremolo is one of the oldest... chinese method. That
would be ideal for you - you've got a C and all you need is a Db. That
is what gave me the idea of a stacked diatonic. I couldn't get on with
a chromatic slide and didn't want to go for loads of different keys.
As for tremolo i wondered how long the reeds stay in tune?

The solo is what i'm sticking with for the moment. But i don't play as
much as i would like to as i look after my elderly mother with
Alzheimers.
