      ''Liked this one Matt. Reminds me of a an Stones tune. That Mick on harp?''
         --Brown Ale Guy

      Get Them Blues
      ''Good on ya cobber! Liked the way you set up the theme and played with it. Not sure about the effects for my taste (found them 'harsh") but after a couple of listens I warmed up to it.''
         --htrain

      Get Them Blues
      ''Not so sure about the effects, Matt. Sounds like the harp is in a bottle underwater. But I hear good feeling in this one.''
         --Eric Martin

      Get Them Blues
      ''Really good job. At first I thought it sounded a little too digital, but I quickly changed my mind. Sounds a little Jaggerish but better playing.''
         --BeelzeBob

      Real Good Looker
      ''Like what you did with it - would have liked a little more punch in places but nice stuff''
         --htrain

      Real Good Looker
      ''Good work cobber : ) Work on a tighter cup with the mic and try drawing some of the notes out and really work on keeping those bends in tune with the track. Keep at it bro, cheers!!!''
         --Lips Angelo

      Real Good Looker
      ''Real good! Harp lines are very effective. Tonewise, the harp is a little dry for the track. But if I was jamming with you in the you would be right there!''
         --Rick

      Real Good Looker
      ''Go Matt Goooo. Boy you can feel the feeling ooozzzing out of this one. How about turning it up a tad with a touch of Reverb/Delay and maybe some Chorus for good measure. "Loud and proud" is the now saying''
         --Peter Holliman

      Real Good Looker
      ''The slow ones can be hard! I felt the longer harp notes tended to make the music drag. Good result from 2m0s to 3m0s where the shorter punchy harp notes contrast well with the smooth flowing BT.''
         --tonedeft

      ''Came out of the gate like gangbusters, sounding great. Changes could be more defined to my ear, at least one (1:10) lost the groove - again, to my ear. You got da stuff, keep blowing.''

      ''tig at moment cobs just fused two peices together little filler wire 316 stainless i think lol''

      One Four Nine
      ''Yeah Matt, good job welding it down man. TIG or MIG : ) Developed a decent melody and pulled some decent riffage outta your hat : )''
         --Lips Angelo

      One Four Nine
      ''Some real cool melody phrasing and squeezy harp. Just relax a little more so sound doesn't get forced through the harp, and this will be great sound.''
         --BlueInGreen

      One Four Nine
      ''Good go at it Matt, strong sense of melody. Work on note articulation. I would like to have heard more low end notes to contrast against the middle octave.''
         --Brett

      One Four Nine
      ''Really like the sound you get with that mic and effects board. Solid melody ''

      ''I think I'd get lost counting that position around the circle of fifths :-) Off notes, but your feeling was right in there.''
         --Eric Stahl

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''That's the way to step out and tackle a tough one. Melodic ideas and rhythm were all good- just hard to map the note in that position.''
         --Dean

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''a melodic approach, but off key most time.''
         --TeeJay

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''A tough one to tackle cobs, but as Mark said...congrats on 11th position....whatever that is : )''
         --Lips Angelo

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''Congrats on your 1st solo in 11th position. Plenty of off notes, but the tone and timing were good.''
         --Mark wilson

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''Valiant effort there Matt! Enjoyed it!''
         --Downhome Dave

      ''Hey man, playing from the soul. I can feel what can't exactly be heard yet :) It may be your amp is turned up too much, its too "hot" I think. But if this is what you intended... keeep wailing away!''
         --BamBamBustaWhyte

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''playing the odd position is a challenge at any level of play. way to step up to the plate.''
         --Steph Wilson

      Blues Been Bad
      ''Great progress, & tone from effects board. One note may need work? Unsure as I am trying to learn same thing myself. Should draw-hole-3 (B) be the tricky single-step bend Bflat in places? Hope the experts will say something to guide us - what do I know!''
         --tonedeft

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''Way-to-go Matt.... like you pushing that envelope... its the only way to get all those notes together as you want them..... keep pushing man''
         --Peter Holliman

      Blues Been Bad
      ''Hi Mat, When i'm right try to follow more the 12 bar blues, that was for me also a great excercise, like your atack of the notes, keep on coming:-) When i'm right u try too play second position on a first position C harp, make a new record on a F harp!!!''
         --RonDutch

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''Howdy Matt, blowin' out of tune a bit but do not dispare...It'll just keep gettin' better and better...Stay with it and keep jammin'...''
         --ELMO

      ''yep,strictly on the right way!post as much as you can!''

      ''keep on harping,in time it will all come together,tone and the key is the issue here.''
         --Daniel Blues

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''11th position ?? that is some hard stuff :P. Nice attempt but this position requires OB and Overdraws. Try it again in 2nd or 3rd position maybe ! or even better learn how to do it on your C harp :P!!''
         --Tonyh

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''A little out of key.. but you had a melody agoing.It would seem hard to play ..key of C for this track unless it was set up... custom.. for it.''
         --Harpn4fun

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''Maybe try it again with a different key harp''
         --TK

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''I'm with BinG Matt. You've got a melody line going but something's just not right with the notes.''
         --Brett

      Foolishly Fascinated
      ''Good simple melody, but sounds offkey like not playing withing chord notes''
         --BlueInGreen

      ''just playin from your mind!fresh approach to that bt!lets hear more!''
         --huhn

      Happy Place
      ''Oy Matt. Yeah, timing was pretty good man. Jazz is a whole thang bro. I find it tough to play. Good first post.''
         --Lips Angelo

      Happy Place
      ''Hey Matt. Pretty good man! Not getting the chord changes so much, but good feel for the rhythm and I think it is opening up your harp playing to more possibilities.''
