Just discovered this guy called Tobias Volkamer on YouTube. An acoustic Guitarist who plays Chromatic Harmonica on a rack.
A Chromatic you ask, then how is he going to press the button. Well he's rigged up this ingenious foot pedal with a lever that connects to the button. He says he had to reprogramme himself not to tap his foot in time with the beat and instead only tap his foot when he wanted to push the button!!! He only has a few vids on his channel but they are all excellent and in some the button is going like crazy.
Anyway, this is a track I particularly liked which is a cover of the brilliant 'Greenstone Waters' by A. White & (our own) Brendan Power
I've actually seen this before -- it's really impressive that he's doing all this by himself.
Andrew White is a top notch guitarist, and gets more texture into his playing-- and I don't think anybody can quite duplicate what Power does -- he may be my favorite harmonica player. it's really impressive that this guy actually gets his own voice in there despite the complex musicianship required for this, and even more impressive that he does it while doing all that at once.
Also, Andrew White's solo work is excellent, if anyone is familiar. I really like his voice, and he has a very understated style of playing.
