I take it you are new to harmonica? I was like that - I got the 4 draw to bend a little and suddenly I was the Second Coming of Big Walter.

The more I practiced the worse I got. Seven years later I'm just an ordinary schlub.

Quit now, while you're on top. :-)

And no sucha thing as stupid topics here - just ill-tempered and unimaginative responses.

When Dick Cavett asked Hendrix what he thought of fans who said that he (jimi) was the world's greatest guitarist, Hendrix replied that he was the best guitarist sitting in his chair.

this is a little askew of the topic, related to Mr. Burke's post, but I love it anyways...

When Hendrix was asked by Mike Douglas what it was like to be the world's best guitarist, he answered "I don't know. You'll have to ask Rory Gallagher".

(I love Rory, especially after watching that documentary on his life on netflix).

Nice jam here of Gallagher and Jack Bruce playing "Politician". Gallagher doesn't play the signature riff--my guess is that he didn't know it at that moment--but his guitar work is peerless blues rock soloing. Beautiful , crunchy tone, expressive bends and accents.

For you to ask that self centered question, let me enlighten you.
You are NOT the best.

Trust me.

Post some of your playing and then ask again.

Hi bikerpvc: Please take a look at the rules for this forum, which you can access from a link in the paragraph at the top of the forum homepage. You're not allowed to flame, attack, or otherwise impugn the virtue of your fellow forum members. sharpharp has broken no rules; by using terms like "self centered," you're walking right on the line.

No hard feelings. We just try hard to keep the peace around here.

If I had to guess, sharpharp is British. Nobody takes the piss like a Pommie.

He's not British. He lives in a small shack on 10 acres of hardpan right outside Slickticket, Texas. He's pretty good on the harmonica, but can't sing, dance or play spoons. He can whistle Glow Little Glow Worm while beating two sticks together in time and that along with being pretty good on the harmonica is the extent of his talent.

I took the original post and topic as a lampooning of the recently started am I a snob thread. I thought it was funny. Lord knows this forum can use a little comic relief now and then. I figured the responses, if any, would be comically insulting rejoinders. Instead, in went in a weirdly serious direction. Go figure.

I think I'm really good on the kazoo, spoons (bending them w/ my mind), juggling, sock puppets, magic cards, dice, monopoly, the unicycle, spinning plates on sticks, spinning tops, the yoyo, eating lotsa hot dogs stupid fast, etc. I think it's high time I break into show biz.

My outlook on this topic is closely related to one I recently had with my harmonica teacher (he's actually very well versed in a plethora of musical instruments, since he's a retired high school music teacher). We were discussing how a person thinks they sound great playing their harmonica (or any other instrument for that matter), until they get either a tape recorder, or a downloadable app (I did that for my Android, & it was FREE). People recording themselves then playing the music back, 9 times out of 10, is akin to a sudden jolt of electricity taking the person off guard. They have their pride cut at the knees. And better yet, just playing a scale to the bpm with a metronome & recorded then played back can sometimes be enough for a person to lose their appetite when dinner is ready. And yes, what I posted, I also follow. If I'm sounding cynical, I'm not targeting any one individual. Just speaking from my past years as a bass guitar player (started back in 1983) & transferring past experience to this topic. Regardless, harp on, all!
