This is an interesting video on not simply playing, but making and living music. Tollak is a musical threat on harp (chromo & diat.), keys, and voice. Enjoy:

So in relation to the above post and why we are on here... blues, blues harmonica and modern blues harmonica a near perfect example of musicality in blues is a man who sadly is no longer with us but was a great musician, singer and songwriter an individual who kept one foot firmly in the blues but pushing out it's form without EVER losing sight of the original's and that is Paul delay...






There's plenty other blues harmonica players who have shades of this but really none have that individuality that Paul delay had.

That' just my opinion for what it's worth.

That was a cool video on musicality. Over the last year I've really come to realize that this is the area that I lack most right now. In my mind technique is easier to know what needs done; if you lack a technique you want you work on that technique, but building musicality is something I'm not really great at. The video had some great points regarding the subject.

Thanks for posting.

Musicality - so overlooked by those harmonica players who just practice speed patterns and are too focused on technique.

I enjoy a player with a firm grasp on musicality, even if technical ability is low.

Good post.
