Warning: The OP of this thread is quite off topic, there's no blues or harmonica in my post. But there is music & beatboxing!

But! before you discount this thread and march off: the last video is a (flute beatboxing) tutorial I think partially could be applied to harmonica (any takers to try ;) ?)! Scroll to the bottom of my post if you just want to check that out.

I don't know about some of the sounds but you can do boots-cats exhale & boots-cats inhale ;) .

Yeah! That's pretty sweet. I've seen some flute + beatbox (fluteboxing?) vids before, and I thought they were really awesome. That instructional video at the end was really great. He explains it really well and I definitely will be watching that again and again!

FWIW, I think it's probably easier to do this with the flute since your mouth position vis a vis the flute stays the same, and you change the notes with your fingers. With harp you have to be moving the instrument around, and it's more difficult to build consistency with the beatbox sounds because you lack that stable platform.
