Much chatter lately about the overbends so I thought I would post something of where I'm at in my journey. I was impressed with Ant 138 deciding to give them a go. His tongue blocking impressed me enough to give that a try, so I hope this helps him in some way.

I also wanted to try out my Zoom H2 as a mic thru the webcam to see how much better it sounded. Incredible difference to me, but this is my first try, so I hope I can get it better.

This is part of a Red House backing track on youtube, just thru my PC speakers.

I play two breaks in 1st position using 4, 5, and 6 hole overblows and two in 2nd position using 5,6 overblow and 7,10 overdraw. The harps are stock Golden Melodys in A and D that I gapped myself.

Constructive critique is welcome from all level players, overblower or not. I figue who knows better than the players on this forum.

Sounds Great to me - amazing control over those high notes and I like the vibrato on the overblows.

I watched the whole thing, and I almost never do that. The first position stuff was incredible.

Sounds good to me, you're very much there musically & your overblows blend well. I thought the audio quality was nice too!

Miles...Overblow and Overdraw

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Forum members know what it takes as far as woodshedding goes. Nice to be among players that support each other.

Wow, you've certainly done your woodshedding! I enjoyed that, and the H2 picked up the audio very nicely-it sounded great. You'll have to help me break through my overblow barrier at HCH.;-)
