Enjoying his mixture of "harmonicky" basic 2nd position ideas, OB's, space - as well as speed chops that make perfect musical sense over the changes. ---------- The Iceman
There's a lot to like in a few minutes. I especially enjoyed the turn around at about 2:22-2:25.
Can you kind of explain to me what you do at 1:25 and the few seconds after that? Is the progression kind of going up by half steps - whatever it is, it's got a really cool feel to it!
Loved it. Nice jazzy feel, speed once in a while, but not overwhelming the song. Nice bluesy feel, too. I love jazzy blues and bluesy jazz. I'd like to hear more of your playing. Cheers, wolf kristiansen
Thanks so much for this post---years ago I went through an obsessive period. I was learning to tweak my harps for ob and od---I kept workin on it and really was not very successful at playing them.
Then I realized I wasn't that good at regular harp and started workin in that.
In the process I learned how to tune and gap FOR ME.I learned how to replace reeds I screwed up in the process. Overall Im glad, I have lots of tools and can work on my harps when needed. With harps that came well gapped or I got lucky and did it myself w/out "F...in" up a reed, I was able to get 6ob most everything 4-6 on many and od7 on a few.
I've been able to bend 6ob on many, I still am and was extremely mediocre at it.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT MUSICAL.
u have some stuff Im practicing on that gives me hope. Ive been doing one that has 4od up 6ob and bend--theres an 8 draw in there---anyway its musical and isn't forced.
So many times I see good harp players ,much better than me force their ob and od , like they have to prove they can do it.
Any way thanks a lot for this post. I finally have a couple ob runs I can mix with my stuff that sounds bluesy and more importantly "musical"
