I would really appreciate some feedback on the harp playing? The harp starts at 1:25 if you want to go right to it. This is my 1st and only 12 bar blues harp i know at this time. Learning more...

Your timing is pretty good, guitar will help with that. You have to learn the bends in the lower register if you going to call it blues. Most beginners focus on the 4 draw and 3 draw, try not to do that.

Learn all the basic blues riffs, and keep practicing,
you will get there.

Relax!!!

You need to relax your chest and throat. You have that tight, mouthy tone that sounds like a squealy pig (I'm exaggerating to have you hear it). (Oooooeeeeee).

You need to focus on bending further and further back in your throat and open things up.

Don't get rid of the sounds you are making now, as they are perfectly fine in the right places.

Relaxing will let your singing fly too..

Thanks for the constructive feedback! It was exactly what I needed as it gave me specific areas to work on.
