Hey guys, here is my version of 'EASY'
I had done a version before but I made this one off the bat today as I wasn't really happy with the first one. Let me know what you think! Harmonica is a Blues Harp, Ab, which I gapped myself to how I like it, it's my favourite harmonica overall.

Also I can't embed it it seems, my iPad won't let me. Or at least I haven't figured out how. iOS7 is a bit irritating sometimes. Ok very irritating.

Use Mercury browser and set user agent to Firefox 3.5 is how I do it from my ipad. Can't stand iOS7 myself....

Ah thanks for embedding it! I think iOS7 is nice however as you'd expect has a few little problems with it. So currently it's driving me nuts lol. But thank you for doing that it's much appreciated!

Nice sound. What is your mic and amp setup? Type model etc.?

Thanks! I do put a bit of tongue slap on here so that is a lot of it, tried to make it dirty and raspy. I am using a ProSound DM818 microphone and a Zoom 505II multi effects set, and a griffin connector to enable me to connect it to my iPad. My iPad has an amp replicator which works quite nicely, although I have a V15G amplifier as well however I didn't use it in this one. Thanks for your comments!!

Cool! I don't have an I -pad. Would you please at your convenience recommend a first amp and mic. I know nothing about either. Basic and affordable. Perhaps even a place to purchase? Only when you have the time. Thanks and you sound great! Good cover.

Thank you! I'm not a professional player, so I don't have much experience with microphones and amplifiers, however I've learned how best to use what I have and it works nicely for me, better than I thought. A great microphone, so I hear, is the Shure SM58, a vocal microphone that is a little expensive. Maybe you could get one second hand though on eBay. My microphone is a copy of similar design, made in China, It cost me £40 http://www.maplin.co.uk/hq-professional-vocal-microphone-kit-42484
It comes with a cable and clip and carry case. You might need an impedance marcher though, although so far I haven't bothered but I probably will get one as it's low impedance, and really you need one if you're going to plug it into an amplifier. I have a multi effects pedal though so that might be helping with my amplifier. The pedal is a Zoom 505II that I bought from cash converters for £20 ish..
As far as amplifiers go, you get what you pay for. Remember a 5W tube amplifier has pretty well the same power as something like a 25W transistor amplifier. I have a 15W transistor amplifier and it has enough power for me, you could probably do fine with a 10W transistor amplifier if you're just wanting to muck around. I can't crank my amplifier right up as it will damage my house. Jokes aside it's plenty powerful http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honkin-Toms-Vintage-Style-15W-Tweed-Harmonica-Amplifier-Harp-Amp-Blues-tone-/131004020436?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item1e8072b6d4
Here is a more affordable amplifier, if you don't want to spend a lot of money http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coban-Electric-overdrive-guitar-Amplifier-FG-10W-Great-for-practise-warm-ups-/160936956342?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item25789711b6
Tube amplifiers are very expensive though. I hope that helps! :)

You're welcome, you could probably find a good deal searching 15W amplifier on eBay.
