What I'd really like to see is a harmonica in that style. Only one working hole and the reeds tuned an octave apart, and some serious bending to go with that.
Btw, how far apart can you tune blow an draw reeds of the same hole and still have it sound good? Anyone tested that? ---------- Pistolkatt - Pistolkatts youtube
I played a few songs with a guy on Burbon street in NOLA (pre Katrina) that was The KING of the one string. I kid you not he was waering a Burger king crown while playing. It's tough consentrating when someone is wearing a Burger king crown!
Maybe some of our NOLA members can get in on this. You guys have got to remember this dude I'm talking about. He even had a song where he sang about being the king of the one string guitar. It was a catchy tune, but uh um well he may have been NUTS I'm not sure!
Loved that! I've had a love affair with Reggae for about 20 years now, and that's some of the most real deal roots stuff I've heard in a good long while. It's his singing that really caries it...
I know there was a more recent thread about Brushy, but I can't find it in the search box. Anyway, a new Brushy One String song popped up on my YouTube feed this morning. This one has harmonica in it!!!
Not fancy playing, but tasteful, and fitting to the song. I like it a lot! ----------
