Over the Rainbow on Harp
https://youtu.be/Ndkl4msrm9M

I have probably listened to Roly’s recording of this tune on YouTube a couple hundred times. (That’s not an exaggeration)
The way he plays ballads using a country tuned harp is one of the most expressive things I’ve ever witnessed. If you don’t what I’m talking about, DEFINITELY search Roly Platt Over the Rainbow and Georgia on my Mind.

I missed a handful of the three hole bends and I only played through he tune once but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Harmonica is a country tuned Manji in the key of B flat.
Second position in the key of F
Backing track I made in iReal Pro (best $15 I ever spent on an app)
Playing a Shakey Jake Dynamic Mic directly into a Gretsch g5222 (Fender Champ 600 clone)
Added a little reverb in GarageBand post.

Let me know what you guys think!!!
