While I was looking around for microphone demos, I found this the riff starting at 2m20s caught my ear. What an elegant way to move around that area. I had to slow it down to work out that it's a chromatic run using all the notes available on holes 4 and 5 with rhythmic notes thrown in. Something like...

6+ 5+ 5 4 5' 4 5+ 4+ | 4 3 4' 3' 4+ 2 3'' 3' | 2...

Thank you!

He's got a nice use of amplified and unamplified harping going on there too. It creates a nice contrast.

I've got to see if I can get my friend to learn Rock Around the Clock. I saw Hakan do it a video. One of the only times I've ever sat down and learned a tune note for note. I love his energy.

With that black background and the headphones on his head hiding his ears like that, is it me, or does he look a bit like Lando's assistant Lobot from Empire?

(Keeping in mind he usually has a lot more hair than I do). :)
