I Wish I Practiced A Bit More

Expanding Your Octaves With James Hastings has returned once again to share with you music that i listen to that you may not be familiar with or dont know about.

This editions is a very well known artist that all of you should have heard some of his songs through out your life.
Ben Harper is a solo artist who has a very laid back approach to life and music and that i conveyed through his music as it comes under a very bluesy and easy listening music style.

His most famous songs probably include "steal my kisses", "Diamonds on the inside" and "Burn one down".

His album "Live from Mars" is a great live album to anyone who just wants to sit down and relax while listening to music.

Another reason i do like Ben Harper as he plays lap steel guitar very well and if only i practiced a billion times more although that still wouldn't happen because 0 x 1,000,000 is still 0. I would love to play lap steel like it.

heres on of his songs that has awesome lap steel in it

Also my dad said if i got really good he would buy me one of these lap steel guitars, lucky for him i wont get to that standard. This is probably a good video to watch if your unfamiliar to this instrument
