Man, that was fucking sexy.

I command you to upload more videos of your playing! And to tell me exactly what equipment you're using!

Seriously great playing man, great tone, phrasing and taste! Real blues. You just gave me something to aim for :)

Brilliant as usual Hakan. Are you using a retuned harp?

Thank you! Yes. It,s special tuning. A summay of the text from my youtube video:

Draw hole 3 is adjusted,(pitch lowered one semi tone). Draw hole 6 is adjusted (pitch raised one semi tone).

It´s no special theory behind that tuning other than I find it easier to "play with myself" and also to play songs like this one and also rock classics like for example Smoke on the water.

The main riff with this special tuning is played:

1-2 draw
3-4 draw
1 and 4 octave blow
3-4 draw, slide fast to:
1-2 draw

It could also be played on a harp with regular tuning,? but I can´t play this very good with a regular harp:

1-2 draw
3-4 draw bend (this is difficult for me)
1 and 4 octave blow
3-4 draw bend, slide fast to:
1-2 draw
