Hey, its not blues but theres a lot of harp comping going on. The demo needs some work and were still tweeking it. Just thought I would throw it out on the chopping block for grins it's only 3-1/2min long.I'm very blessed to have crossed paths with Chad, we've been giging for over a year now.

I think there's a pretty good balance in the way of playing accompaniment style and playing solo style: it never hinders nor guitar nor song.
That's what the famous duets harp/guitar succeeded in.

i looked around for covers and stuff and made two harps.

one is now my C carry harp and the F is a great spare.

Hey guy's ,thanks for the compliments glad ya'll liked it."@lmbrjak" Chad did go to Nashville 10 yrs ago. He didn't like the way the buissness worked and after several demos he said forget it. Dress this way,wear this hat, you can't play guitar but we want you to wear one, ETC.Song 1&2 were played in 2nd pos. on a Spiers "A" corian comb marine band. Song 3 was a "G" S/P20 in 2nd pos.Song 4 was on a "C" S/P 20 in 2nd pos. My mic was a MXL V900 condenser on a stand ran thru a Boss DD3 with slight delay setting then out to our Bose L1 model,2 PA. I use a wirlwind impeadence matching transformer coming out of the phantom power supply for the mic into the pedal.
@laurent, I try to compliment Chad any way I can so if playing in the back ground some times is what I need to do I do it. Iv'e learned from some of the guy's that post on here on accompanyment,"comping".
@MP, glad you had a use for the plt's. It was just a small thank you for helping me out with embossing.
Catch ya'll later, Mike

Well done for sure. The cadence is well balanced and the timing is very good. Guitar and harp play off each other very wel and you've kept the instrument volume at the right level to let the vocals be the focus. If this is a scratch track for demo you'll be booking gigs in no time.
Thanks for that.
