Diggsblues 1865 posts Jul 01, 2015 9:34 AM	Very nice love the chord with the slide. Who knew what a great combination. ----------
Gnarly 1404 posts Jul 01, 2015 9:35 AM	That's a 48 chord, not a bass--still pretty darned cool.
Sarge 474 posts Jul 01, 2015 9:41 AM	Nice! Very enjoyable listening. ---------- Wisdom does not always come with old age. Sometimes old age arrives alone.

Sometimes you just need to listen to something slow and pretty. ---------- Nate Facebook Thread Organizer (A list of all sorts of useful threads) First Post- May 8, 2009

Either say, it sounds just right for the chord harp. =========== Winslow Check out my blog and other goodies at winslowyerxa.com Harmonica For Dummies, Second Edition with tons of new stuff Join us in Denver for a mile-high SPAH experience!

Hmmm...well I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but the classic Peg recording is definitely a favorite of mine both performance-wise and sonically! Combine that with the fact I picked up what I know of the technique to the instrument from Michael Burton, a former Harmonicat, and perhaps the Peg similarity was inevitable! We recorded 4 videos totally live and each got a slightly different treatment in the mix...with the inherent strengths and weaknesses of the recording setup, we did we we could...you might enjoy hearing the rest: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH50qas65_kbJxyvTz8RSwRYDjHjjYXg_ I'd love to hear what you think! @1847...for what it's worth, our video of Oh Darlin' from the same session features (albeit a bit quietly) a bit of bass harp. Best, Ross
