I don't post videos here often, as I don't feel my playing is up to the standards of what everyone else is doing. But I really like this one, flaws and all. I'm playing it at a local jam, with the house band. We'd been trying it once a week, and this is the first time we got through with no major mistakes. It was pretty cool. I'm really glad I have a situation like this where the house band indulges my somewhat unusual tastes, to the point of learning songs at my request so I can play them. Have also done Akos, Come As You Are, Work Song, etc there.
Constructive criticism and advice would be appreciated, as always.
I really like this. So much more interesting than a regurgitation of some harmonica classic. I've thought about playing this tune on harp, but this is the first time I've ever heard anyone actually do it. Very cool.
Hi Garry I've listened to it several times since you've posted it and agree with hvyj, I enjoyed it. Very different and I'd listen to your version again which I guess has to be what anyone posting their playing here would hope to hear from other players. Keep posting more stuff. Cheers JG
That's just pure fun to watch and hear. I think one of the things that makes it so enjoyable - at least for me - is it seems like you and the band have very nice onstage energy.
Oftentimes I see bands whose members seem disconnected or uninterested . . . just sort of flat. That's not the case here. Well done! ----------
Thanks for the comments. If you watch Weather Report doing it, one thing that jumps out at you is the joyousness of the song. They all look like they're having a ball.
