Yeah, that echo is a killer, but if you listen hard through that what i heared being played sounded rich and clear, Some of the bends may be a little off accurate but thats easy sorted. sounded good.
Tony, I am pretty much a beginner as I started playing in October of last year, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but...
I would say definitely get rid of he echo effect. I too can hear some good playing but the effects are shrouding your sound.
I can tell you have a groove going and you should let it shine. ---------- -[][][][][][][][][][]- Learning is a journey, not a destination... -BL

That sounded great to me Tony even with the echo. You put a little song together and it worked and I only wish I could have played that well at your age.
It takes a large set of gonads to post anything up here these days so don't be put off by some of the less constructive critisism you might encounter.
Keep at it and you will get even better. ---------- Oisin ---------- Oisin
Nice foot-stompin groove/riff. Good tone on the bends. Maybe some variation with the 3bend would be nice - what about hitting the blue third.. that always sounds great. Sometimes the 2 draw isn't bend down far enough (to my ears).
So,.. what I'm trying to say... a little more precision with the bends but otherwise very good. Especially the you can hear good musicality and groove.
Did you learn to Pucker first or are you hardcore Tongue Block?
So I'd say basically the same as in my first post (blue third... :). The bends aren't too precise... I'd add, that the 2hole bend could be hit directly sometimes instead of sliding down, IMO.
Then the throat vibrato. To get more of a sin wave going it could help to conciously inhale (keep a constant air flow) throughout the vibrato.
Thanks to you all guys! I'm in Lithuania. Western part of Europe. I learnt to pucker first, then transfered to tblocking. It's still a bit hard to hit all those bends precisely on lower harps. Working on it... But still not managed to owerblow while tongueblocking, so I still pucker sometimes...
