--Frosty

''yeeeaah great song excelent''
--floppy lips
Baby Blues
''Great atmosphere and I could hear good direction and feeling, but maybe the harp is out of tune. Didn't sound quite right in places, and I don't think it's because you were hitting wrong notes.

''You go to live Jam and you knock them off there feet; with that outstanding playing!''
--Bro.Bob
Cheerleader Blues
''Great playing. The tone was a little distored for me. This bt was put up a while back and you made it something different which is great. Fine fine riffs you strung together. I'll be having another listen and working on those.''
--MoCheeks

''Some good gritty playing Moa. Chocolate fish in the mail for you mate.''

''i don't use am amp for the recording but i do sometimes set the soundcard line in up to just below clipping.Also the AIWA mike has a very hot element and is easy to get an extremely tight cup on for compression.cheers moa''
--moablues
Cheerleader Blues
''I have never been able to get that overdriven sound. Is that with an effects unit or can you get that with an amplipher? On your post it says delay but I didn't think delay gave that sound. I am confused. I did like the cut had a Chicago sound.''
--Harplayer
Cheerleader Blues
''did well with the long bt - nice rhythm and melody lines - good steady playing throughout!!''

--Appleman Ed
Mr Seniorita
''Sounds best on the upper end.Not sure you are getting all the bends right on the low end.Can be a little tricky in third position down there.''
--BlueInGreen
Mr Seniorita
''Not so sure footed as your 2nd position playing, but I think it's great to explore 3rd and hope you will keep it up.''
--Magic Martian
Mr Seniorita
''Love the way you hold notes and your tone is great,the minor notes are hard to nail down and will not play like 2nd position, in 3rd its real hard to do you made work anyway!''
--Bro.Bob
Mr Seniorita
''Some of your sustained notes were right on. However, your runs up and down tended to have extra notes on the half step that were not in the scale. Nice work.''
--Blueshiner
Mr Seniorita
''some say something sounds wrong,but its just some root notes (here in 3rd pos),which could have been added on the right places.so its to me like a surprising meal.call it interessant!!lol''
--huhn
Mr Seniorita
''Cool Santana'ish tone Rick. Nice vibrato. Harp a little heavy in the mix in spots but I liked that you experimented with your playing. Did some nice stuff in this.''
--Lips Angelo
Mr Seniorita
''Ed it is in 3rd position so maybe thats it,tricky bends etc''
--moablues
Mr Seniorita
''Still sounds odd/off to me. Don't know why. Maybe one of the advanced/pro player can help here?''
--Appleman Ed
Mr Seniorita
''I liked it, Rick. Playing made the BT stand out. Tone is there too.''
--Marks Harp
Mr Seniorita
''I like the way you rode this Dm on a C. If not spot-on in-tune, it sounded good''
--Eric Stahl
Mr Seniorita
''Other than a weird microphone noise in the beginning, this was super sweet.''
--justjoe
Mr Seniorita
''I don't know, I kind of like this, but then some notes don't seem to fit. Maybe low end bends were a bit out of tune. I will try this bt some day, let's see what kind of noise I manage to produce.''
--Frosty
Mr Seniorita
''I don't about this. Maybe it's the fx. Maybe you should check if your harp is still in tune''
--Appleman Ed
Mr Seniorita
''Hi Moa.I like your playing/phrasing on this alot.I think you are cutting yourself short by using this type of amplification.It is flattening the subtlety of the harp sound & making it too monotone w/little dynamics IMHO.''
--BlueInGreen

Wash My Mule
''Good exercise. For most of us harmonica players, we should be worried more about understanding music than hand cupping, if you ask me. Nothing wrong with good tone though, which you have. And you also played well to the changes.''
--Magic Martian

''Nice sounds coming out of those hands and throat. Really added to the listening experience.''
