LIVE JAM 2 NITE!!!
''Note choices good, feeling bluesey, melody works well, vocals good, timing and mood is good ..... so whatever is missing must be small! Perhaps turning down recording level and blowing harp more strongly with a meaner attitude would do the trick :)''

GridWalk
''Strong chord riff, gave the piece an identity. Playing could've used just a little more authority here and there, IMHO. Some bends could be stronger, I need to work on that, too, that's why I noticed.''
   --BeelzeBob

GridWalk
''nice attempt cobs liked it ''
   --matt the welder

GridWalk
''Yes man, you really enhanced this backing track with a variety of techniques. Great job!''
   --Rick

End of the Sidewalk
''You did great. I really enjoyed this. It is good to just stop learning and let it rip with what you already know! Great job.''
   --Rick

GridWalk
''Sounds very good, Hank. Especially the parts with chord playing are very creative and work very well with the BT''
   --Appleman Ed

GridWalk
''Sounds good. Hear you relaxing more letting things flow. Reminds me more of early Velvet Underground than Bonanza!''
   --BlueInGreen

GridWalk
''You must be out of rut. Tongue blocking on a LOw F? Good post. Now get out out there and play something fast on the high end of an E or F.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

GridWalk
''Hank...you hit that one nice pardner. Sounds like your rut didn't last long : ) Working on some tb's and at 1:16, had some nice horny tone : )''
   --Lips Angelo

End of the Sidewalk
''tb chording is pretty good..single notes are full and clean for tb. just my feeling that you struggled with the melody, maybe your just working on something...cool shtuff''
   --Steph Wilson

End of the Sidewalk
''TB or not TB... that IS the question.? On this post it came out tops. Geat post htrain. Could have been a tad more assertive... but still a good post never the less....''
   --Peter Holliman

End of the Sidewalk
''Ya's justicefied it just fine Hank. You got into it and played it how you felt. That's what it's about man.''
   --Lips Angelo

End of the Sidewalk
''Keep 'em coming htrain. You got good patience, just blending in nice with a good B_T.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

End of the Sidewalk
''Very tastefully played and that beta harp sounds sweet.''
   --BlueInGreen

End of the Sidewalk
''Htrain, great job - use of lots of space really works here.''
   --Ronnie

Marthas Tune
''I like what you did with this one, especially in the 1st-half. Timing off a little here and there and needed some bends in the 2nd-half (listen closer to to the guitar) - but very nice over all!''
   --Eric Stahl

VegasCruising
''3rd is a different world for sure. Great feeling. Try to play the blues scale in 3rd position and then improvise over it!''
   --Tonyh

VegasCruising
''Stretching yourself - that's what it is all about. Good ideas here.''
   --tonedeft

VegasCruising
''Good stuff Hank, you're getting in there and mucking about. Great first attempt at 3rd pos.''
   --Lips Angelo

Maggie Blues

   --huhn

Granite Bay
''More bluesy for sure. Sounds great.''
   --Mc7

Maggie Blues
''Great fun - interesting melody and a nice laid-back feel''
   --tonedeft

Maggie Blues
''Very relaxed on this one and it makes a big difference in overall sound. Good one.''
   --BlueInGreen

My Turn To Blow
''Sounding relaxed, which is very important (most important I think). Some off bends, but that will come. Harp is a little soft in the mix IMHO.''
   --BlueInGreen

Maggie Blues
''Big - Big improvement.....way to go. Tone just about spot-on. Now your on the way...... watch out world, we got us a harp player.''
   --Peter Holliman

My Turn To Blow
''You're gettin' bluesier. Timing still being worked on. I never realized how hard timing was till I started doin' this. I struggle. You can be pleased with this one!''
   --Brown Ale Guy

My Turn To Blow
''Coming along nicely htrain keep the good work. Keep working on your bend is my suggestion for the moment !''
   --Tonyh

My Turn To Blow
''Yeah Peter - you are right so with apologies to you and dblues I'll see if I can get the name corrected. I really liked that BT - I'll not screw up next time''
   --htrain

My Turn To Blow
''Good melody. Each repeat is a little bit different and it all holds together well.''
   --tonedeft

My Turn To Blow
''Hey htrain.....loved this version...but wasn't this "Caveman Stomp" on the Low? Who cares about the title....goood music is good music...and this was.....good music''
   --Peter Holliman

My Turn To Blow
''Good take , you let all the other instruments through and be heard, I like it! That sound your lookin' for?It werent me so much as the homely little, BIG tone, Kalamazoo (Model one)''
   --Ronnie

My Turn To Blow
''No repetition problem on the melody. I like what you did with it e.g. at 1:49 and 2:16.''
   --Eric Stahl

Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
''Another nice one Hank, Keep that 3 draw at the 1/2 step bend''
   --Jo

Granite Bay
''Great tone Hank, Love the reverb''
   --Jo

Granite Bay
''I like your style. Not conventianal with a lot of high register notes . Keep on playing my friend !''
   --Tonyh

Marthas Tune
''I like the beginning a lot :)good flow. Some spot were you were over the guit not really with it but this track isn't really made for some harp:P Great stuff!''
   --Tonyh

Granite Bay
''I like the rhythm thing you do at the beginning. Your melodic note choice often does not sound real bluesy. One way to fix that might be to figure out a melody, state it, and then do variations from it. Enjoyed it!''
   --Rick

Marthas Tune
''Well, it really is a guitar number Hank, but I think you did a good job of it. I would have kept the harp levels back a bit so you could have interacted with the git a bit more, A good lesson in comping and fills, and when at jams this is crucial : )''
   --Lips Angelo

Marthas Tune
''Working with this guitar is difficult. Good groove from 42s onwards.''
   --tonedeft

Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
''Htrain...funny..the band that used to host our Sunday jams was Etrain. Good flow Hank, coming along nicely dude!''
   --Lips Angelo

Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
''very personal take,fresh!''
   --huhn

Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
''First thought was that the opening harp was a little too laid-back with some off-notes - it's important to stick the beginning. But then you picked up and kept up with good melodies. Liked the "Good Night Ladies" at the end.''
   --Eric Stahl

Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
''You had that baby talkin' :)''
   --Mc7

Late Nite At Tonys Lounge

   --Eric Stahl

Rubber Leg Blues
