This kid holds his harp at a really extreme slant. He gets a good tone out of it, but I've never ever seen anyone else play that way. I don't fully understand the configuration his lips have to take in order to make this work.
He starts playing around 1:15, and the extreme slantyness starts at around 1:25.
Have you ever seen anyone play this way? Is it just a weird quirk, or could it give some unseen advantage(s)?
@Isaac, completely off topic, but if you've ever wondered who the harp player is that played the intro to Rancids Life won't wait album, its a guy called Lester Butler. You have probably heard of him but i only discovered him yesterday.
I was gonna start another thread about him:0) pretty random i know but i've wondered who it was who played that into for years.
May be stating the obvious here; bit it seems to be (at least partly) how he controls the number of holes he plays at a time, when he's chording the harp comes back to a more horizontal angle.
Dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks and all that jazz!
