I have recently come across quite a few full-length concert videos and films on YT of the late, great, Irish blues/rock guitarist Rory Gallagher (1948-1995). In this one he also does an extended harp solo, which is pretty good. This video also gives a pretty good sampling of what he was doing in his prime in the mid seventies. Many put him there with the best guitarists of all time. One of the greats for sure, and under appreciated, in North America anyway.
Song with harp starts at 12:30. Harp comes in at 17:57.
Couldn't embed, sorry:

Rory G often had Mark Feltham playing harmonica in concerts. If you find clips with him in (there are quite a few) you´ll hear another level of harp playing.

Not the worst rock guitar player to blow the harp (talk about damning with faint praise) - but it's still pretty darn crude. He wouldn't be playing guitar publicly with the level of skill he has on harp.
dig it you may - but know you are listening to an advanced beginner with lousy tone.
