After 6 months of healing(from a motorcycle accident) I get to start playing again. I took the time off to study the Chromatic Harmonica mostly Bebop tuning .This is my first recording of me playing Chromatic, I would love to have some feedback, criticism, pointers or advice.
I also want to thank Gary Lehmann, he turned me onto the bebop tuning and set me up with a few. THANK YOU GARY I OWE YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SKILLFUL HARMONICA MODIFICATION SKILLS.
my solo starts around the 2:10 minutes in

You're doing stuff I've yet to try. Bravo! Definitely you are onto something good there. Must have felt pretty good hearing the audience clap and cheer!
Not being a bebop guy I can't offer advice at all but I do offer my compliments. Nice work!

Bravo Gonzalo! Is that the Super64X?
Just to explain, one can use the bebop tuning for any kind of music--
Instead of having two C notes next to each other (holes 4 &5 and 8&9), one retunes the notes on 4&8 and their slide notes down a whole step, to Bb and B.
I learned it from Bill Barrett, that's what he uses.
Comments? Keep up the good work!
PS Pierre says hi!
