In stuff Im learning,,it has whoops and I want to put them in , some whoops when playing this kinda stuff,, come out without planning them, you just whoop, yip or bark. without consiously planning to.

I do it in one of my songs, but it's not quite the through the harp, between the beats stuff from a fox chase, it's more of a flat out replacement of a line that I would otherwise be playing a response on on harp.
Not many , Oh well. Ive always been drawn to the unpopular for some reason. personality defect probably ;) ---------- Various Musical ramblings http://www.youtube.com/user/sjeter61?feature=mhum

Warning, please turn the bass up when you listen to this , as it gets a bit shrill. Also, I apologize for the Harmonica Guru title, I think it meant to read World Class Harmonica Player. Whoop whoop.Nyuk Nyuk nyuk.
Check out Rory Mcleod's playing, he will falsetto sing a note or two in a descending run which is very effective. Also Freeman Stowers would sound the same note as well as playing it, this is only possible on blow notes, he usually did it as a train whistle on the six blow, same principle as the harp boxers.
Cameron , sounds great, and Tom , that is harmonica guru playing Thanks for pointing these out. Both takes were based on the old , but not copies , I will study these both Steve ---------- Various Musical ramblings http://www.youtube.com/user/sjeter61?feature=mhum

Andrew, my walrus friend, did you check out that Philip Henry video Oxharp posted? He is utilizing the whooping and blow tonic harp boxing much better than I explained in my previous explanation.He seems pretty limitless, what do you think? Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
