Hello,

i was inspired by Chris Michalek's videos and the circle of 5th.
I'm trying to play my C harp in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 11th positions in several 12 bars progressions. The result is absolutely sloppy but I think that's a good exercise that everyone should practice. Here is the backing track. If you try it (and i hope you will), do it better than me!



Here is the mess I'm doing (sorry for the bad quality sound):

Man that sounds tough to play. A lot of that sounded really nice and I liked the occasional miked up sections too. I also liked the way you left the mistakes in and carried on. I'm sure anyone who's recorded stuff will empathise. Everything is going well and then an overblow decides it's not going to cooperate!! You're aagh's made me laugh, they sound a lot like mine:)

Thanks for posting and also for the backing track

@Greyowl - right

Skeez - Sounds like you could wind up being a badass player. I like the way that you handle vibratto. You seem to have a sturdy sense of improvisation and you are not afraid to push for new skills. The time and effort that you have been putting into practice are showing up in your video.

I better get me that backing track.

Thanks for the kind words.

It seems there is a problem with the backing track so I tried to fix the problem if anyone want to use it...
