         --Harplayer

      Snoring Cat Blues
      ''Nice soulful slow blues. Some notes sound slightly flat but probably my ears.There's a steady clicking when the harp is playing that might be a mic issue.''
         --BlueInGreen

      Baby Blues
      ''A few notes out off tune at the start, but otherwise great blues harp''
         --Appleman Ed

      Baby Blues
      ''Good song to lay out your blues licks and you did. Check the age on that harp. have to agree that somtimes it just didn't sound right but the playing itself was just fine.''
         --Ringer

      Baby Blues

         --Frosty

      Baby Blues
      ''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. ''
         --Magic Martian

      Baby Blues
      ''Nice tone.''
         --justjoe

      Baby Blues
      ''I don't know why, but for my taste some notes sounded off. You have a good blues feel. I like that overdriven sound''
         --Midnight

      Baby Blues
      ''like the tone you got with this set up - nice clean playing with variety in rhythmic patterns - riffs flow well - good one!!''
         --htrain

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''Some nasty overdriven tone. Might be a bit too overdriven, but its a cool sound for one solo. Some good vibrato,''
         --Downhome Dave

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''This is a real jam!!! And you passed the test. You have our permission to venture out to jams and knock them dead with your playing.''
         --Ringer

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''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

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''Some good gritty playing Moa. Chocolate fish in the mail for you mate.''
         --Lips Angelo

      ''Sounds a bit muffled, but great playing!''
         --Brett

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''I can't help myself here. Fantastic gritty sound and way WAY to clean playing. Good ideas, just a clash I couldn't quite resolve while listening. Ride that monster sound man! Good job.''

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''Seems like you'd fun with it.''
         --TeeJay

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''man,whata fat overdriven beasty tone!''
         --huhn

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''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!!''
         --htrain

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''Still a little too overdriven for me, but very good playing.''
         --BlueInGreen

      Cheerleader Blues
      ''Very nice melodic harp playing''
         --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

      By The Way
      ''nice flow and form with your riffs.''

      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

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

         --Mc7

      Wash My Mule
      ''Nice vibrato but guessing that was from throat not hands. Cupping/hand vibrato works well also. For some cool cupping examples watch mark hummel as he can use his thumb for effects.''

      Moron Blues
      ''Couldn't quite undrstand all the lyrics but it had a nice sound to it. Is probably something to do with the recording techniques. Can't help you but I know I had to experiment a lot to get it right. Harp hasn't lost it's touch.''

      Moron Blues
      ''Really nice playing. Can't tell if you have sophisticatd harp gear or you are making cheap stuff sound great. Fun lyrics man. Great harp playing. Very competant. You make it sound effortless, like you just knock this stuff off.''
