Live electric duo this past Saturday with my buddy Gene on guitar. An original about needing to work a 9 to 5 job because blues music just doesn't pay. Next time I'll remember to sing the big payoff verse...oops! Audio only:
Pretty fearless playing there, harpoon! 1st position - going for that full blown IV chord by being unafraid of 2 hole inhale second bend followed by 3 hole inhale second bend in outlining the harmony - all played as solid notes.
Love the solo beginning with LONG TONE 3 hole inhale first bend - pretty solid and I notice you do play slightly with the pitch - just enough to sound cool but not so much as to destroy that note integrity.
Also, hats off for that FAT GREASY TONE and switching harps. The Iceman
@harpwrench: that was one of your harps I was using on the 1st position parts...plays like a dream.
@The Iceman: you have a keen ear and pointed out a lot of the things I was intentionally doing. My New Year's resolution this year was to play fewer notes, which I managed to do on this tune.
@blingty: rig was a CM element JT30 mic into a Kinder AFB+ into a Bassman Reissue. I would have preferred to use my crystal element JT30 but was sharing my rig with a bunch of other harp players that day and didn't want to risk someone besides me breaking it. :-)
