I'm guessing Madcat can play it. He's a member of this forum.

If you're referring to his DVD that is on the Homespun label then you won't find a link, not unless the material has been pirated. Homespun is copyrighted material.

I think you're talking about his 'Ins and Outs of Rhythm Harp' DVD. I think that's what it's called. If you're trying to get that stuff up to speed then the only way you're going to do that, and make it sound as good as he does, is by practising it slowly and incrementing the speed gradually. It could take many months of work, or much, much longer if you rush it.

The Sonny Terry style is so different from how I normally play-it's almost like a different language! Very interesting, rhythmic stuff, and the whooping is so cool. I need to do some messing with this as well. what little I have heard from Madcat is just brialliant stuff. Thanks for reminding me I need to add to my collection!

Thanks fellas, you've just reminded me of another thing to add to my list to Santa. (Yes I have sold my soul to Santa)

Has Madcat got into the beatboxing thing at all? Seems like a very short jump from his normal style.

That Vader clip is pure genius. Never fails to get a belly laugh from me!
