I'll check it out tonight. I uploaded a vid last night(rotovibe demo), and waited for it to 'process' after it uploaded. I waited an hour before I got sick of waiting and went to bed. It was there this morning.

Sorry Frank - it's OK now, at least on Youtube direct, although the embedded version above doesn't work for me, maybe because the video is still processing on YT's servers

If you click on the play arrow in the center of the video twice, it goes to youtube. If you click it once it plays inside the window here on this forum. If you click on just the right arrow triangle button on the lower left of the video, it will always play in the post, and not got to youtube. At least for me. YMMV.

I'll be Frank, Frank ;-)

You're progress is pretty good for the time you've been playing and I think you could very easily become a good player. It's a matter of where you choose to aim.

In other words, don't deliberately limit yourself with preconceptions of what is necessary for your chosen style.

Seriously, you sound better than you did last time.

You've got big hands Frank so I reckon when you get more into harp playing you'll have a great tone when you get used to using them more to mould your notes.

TN, with those hands maybe you should get a chord harp... You could probably cup it! Or more seriously, how about a Steve Baker?

yea i thought your doing pretty good for someone just inthere 1st couple months,the rythem aint that but the lead could flow alittle better but the rythem chugs arnt that bad,thats where ive had a lot of trouble doing,been working hard last 3 months on chugging i might feel like posting something in a few weeks;-) I like seeing a pic of you frank it makes things more friendly seeing a face its like a more personal exsperience;-)not to sound weird or anything;-)Ive thought that about utube teaching videos,bring you closer with pics,compared to some lessons that lack that aspect of visual effect.If that makes any sence

Thanks for the vid Frank! Not too bad for starting just a bit ago! Good rhythm and pretty decent tone going on. Must be those double thick reedplates ;) Anyways, start experimenting with some hand techniques...it's a shame to put those mitts to waste. A little wah usage or hand vibrato would get that biker bar harp stuff really grooving...just messin with ya but seriously keep it up. And looks like the video made you a little more tangible and likeable and not just the random newbie with a pension for creating lengthy thread conversations. Good stuff

Nice one Frank, it takes some guts to put video's up on here so well done. It will be good to see where you are in 6 months - a year. Keep it up dude:o)
