YouTube is an amazing place. I make it a point to search the terms "blues harmonica" every couple of weeks and sort for stuff uploaded very recently. Cutting edge stuff.

This came up:



Not great--but, by the same token, pretty damned good for one month. One month!

That video led me to the guy's channel, at which point a whole other world opened up:



That, my friends, is a musical soul.

His progress is very encouraging for me (been learning the Harp for about 2 or 3 days, after months of reading about them and joining forums).

Well he's got the most important part of harp videos, shoving the harp in the camera first, down pat. Did anyone catch how beat up holes one and two are? Looks like it got caught in a door or something.
As for the talkbox stuff....sorry, too close to a trip to the dentist for me. Tube hanging out of your mouth, cheesy music, everything getting distorted and slowing down as the drugs kick in. Yikes@!

Hmmm, reminds me of something I heard back in 1977!

(Obviously this clip is not from 1977)

Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy.
