''Very enjoyable. To my ears the "hot" amp volume works well bringing out the subtle effects of your quiet and skillful harp playing.''
   --tonedeft

Blue Angel
''Glad you went for the amped style Ringer...sounded good...maybe could have used a tad more reverb/delay, just to give it an 'empty club' feel....but good as is. Nice post''
   --Peter Holliman

Blue Angel
'' Hey ringer not bad playing just little hot on the volume!''

Schimm Schamm
''Hey nice post man. Nothing to spit about there. Good solid post.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

''Hey Ringer......great playing against the B/T......seemed to suit your style very well. Waiting to hear ya let rip one day...I'm sure it will be spot-on as well.....''

''I am hearing notes all over the place in this one. Choosing the right ones from the rest is not so easy though.''
   --Eric Martin

Blue Angel
''I don't think the acoustic sound is too well-suited for this sophisticated bt, but your approach is pleasant and respects the track.''
   --Eric Martin

Blue Angel
''A bit hesitant, but still good and pretty playing against the busy but very nice piano work''
   --Appleman Ed

Schimm Schamm
''And this is very nice also! Good work between the lead guitar and harp lines.''
   --tonedeft

Blue Angel
''That's very nice. Simple, well played, I enjoyed listening.''

Schimm Schamm
''Sounds like you are expanding your stylistic adventures. Lot's of fun.''
   --Rick

Schimm Schamm
''Just read that you only started playing this year, this is very good progress! You got some nice tones from that G harp. Went through your catalog, if you stay on the beat better, you will hear a big improvement in your jams. Same for myself. ; )''
   --BeelzeBob

Jazzy Blues
''Sounded great, kept with the track pretty well except a few spots. I tried this one but lost it too often. May try it again. Yeah, I got some static, too bad, it was a good listen otherwise.''
   --BeelzeBob

Yank n Shank
''Cool playing Ringer. Worked it alright. Liked the tone alright, but it sounded kind of compressed. Maybe the mic?''
   --Lips Angelo

Yank n Shank
''Keep 'em coming. You got some good riffs. You might stand up and belt it with a little more conviction.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

Jazzy Blues
''That's excellent! Shame about the soundcard. Same damage as my PC's onboard sound. Changing Audacity project sample rate cures it at just one rate =48000 on my PC. (Set at bottom left then quickmix BT before recording harp.)''
   --tonedeft

Jazzy Blues
''Got the tone and "sound" just right on this one Ringer..although did I detect a touch of clipping??? chech your levels...don't want to detract from class performance''
   --Peter Holliman

Yank n Shank
''Hey Ringer..what's happn'n. Some cool tone going down and the makings of some neat riffs. Now...how about a touch more conviction/feeling.....let it all hang-out dood.''
   --Peter Holliman

Jazzy Blues
''BlueInGreen - Thanks for the comments. Your right on. If I took a little more time and practice I'll get there. ''
   --Ringer

Jazzy Blues
''I think you got swing feel,which is critical.Many phrases start almost same with a quick burst of volume on similar notes and then a drop off;need to work in more variety.Later on, after 1:30, I heard more variety creeping it here and there.''
   --BlueInGreen

No..You Didnt See Me
''Real nice riffs. And as others have suggested, it can be hard to play a smooth/mellow sound on a high-F.''
   --Eric Stahl

A Very Mellow Fellow
''Hesitant playing but you hit the changes, which some players do not. So I think you'll get there sooner than many.''
   --BeelzeBob

No..You Didnt See Me
''Liked your riffing particularly around 1:20 to 1:30, but volume is low. Need some breathers besides the obvious ones at 2:09 - let the piano through some. High F is a tough one to play amped, at least for me.''
   --BeelzeBob

No..You Didnt See Me
''Good go 'round Ringer. My theory with F harps is that regular F sounds better acoustic, doing Sonny Boy II style playing since its so high, and low F works well both acoustic or amped, it's so much more throaty sounding.''
   --Brett

No..You Didnt See Me
''Sounds realgood.Maybe littleless reverb.Like way you playing very musically even though might not have developed some tech yet. Good way to go.Might want a low F harp too;I use that more than my regular F.''
   --BlueInGreen

No..You Didnt See Me
''What's this? Spring is in the air and everyone is getting high harps! Enjoyed this one.''
   --tonedeft

A Very Mellow Fellow
''Good work Ringer. Great practice. Same as the others have said. Keep at it, you'll sound pro in no time. I still hit two holes sometimes too. Can't they put more space in between them ???? ;-()''
   --Lips Angelo

My Turn To Blow
''Great mellow tone and relaxed playing. Good stuff Ringer.''
   --Lips Angelo

A Very Mellow Fellow
''That's a good base to build on. You've received some good suggestions on what to work on next.''
   --Eric Stahl

A Very Mellow Fellow
''Tasteful playing. Just need to start getting those bends in there.''
   --BlueInGreen

My Turn To Blow
''Some nice lazy phrasing and good tone. Follow Tony's advice and you will go far.''
   --BlueInGreen

A Very Mellow Fellow
''Good go at it Ringer. In addition to what Tony suggested about bending, I heard you bleeding into two holes at times when trying to hit a single note, so you might want to work on that too. That dogged me for the longest time, still does once in a while.''
   --Brett

My Turn To Blow
''You have a nice feel for the blues progression ! I would suggest keep on working on your bend and everything will fall in it's place in time.''
   --Tonyh

A Very Mellow Fellow
''The intro is hard to do when you are having a bit of problem with the bending but it will come in time. Great timing ! Nice too see you trying this one !''
   --Tonyh

My Turn To Blow
''Good sound out of the rig Ringer. Getting the structure down; work on single note articulation and breath control.''
   --Brett

My Turn To Blow
''Nice one Ringer, up a notch in the whole? I think it was recording and listening to myself that was most important. I could hear all the gremlins.''
   --Ronnie

My Turn To Blow
''Got the Chicago blues sound startin'. Thought the mix could bring the harp out a little more, maybe enable you to try to interplay with guitar.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

My Turn To Blow
''Nice Chicago tone - timing way better!! and good melody - liked the jump to the high notes''
   --htrain

My Turn To Blow
''Some parts sound like you're searching for the right notes, other parts have very good riffs. Nice sound''

''Maybe a bit too much Gverb for my taste but you are making progress ! try to work around the I-IV-V blues change and just go with your feeling !''
   --Tonyh

Got No Valentine Just The Blues
''Great talking blues Ringer. Practice with the software makes perfect : ) Harpin was nice and mellow.''
   --Lips Angelo

Got No Valentine Just The Blues
''"in my humble opinion" - being a relative beginner I'm not 100% sure of too much but felt that the timing was a little off - and ya, I've experienced the same software recording problem so I know what you mean. Just trying to give some feedback to help''
   --htrain

Got No Valentine Just The Blues
''htrain, what is IMHO. I think i have some disconnect with the software and my computer. No matter what I tried I could get the first piece together so I gave up.''
   --Ringer

Got No Valentine Just The Blues
''Oh yeah!! Great lyrics and well presented. Good comping on the harp - IMHO timing should be watched - better in second part and I'd love to hear the harp played with more 'conviction' - solid melody ideas that should be 'flouted'''
   --htrain

Long Legged Women
''Got that Kalamazoo sounding good Ringer, playing was nice and easy.''
   --Lips Angelo

Caveman Stomp
''Way to put the whole deal together. If I'm reading right you could pull it down from the diaphram more. I know that is something I have to really work on.''
   --Brown Ale Guy

''Cool vocals! Harp is pretty good.Try digging stronger into the beat and playing more from your gut.I don't really hear you KZoo coming through yet.''
   --BlueInGreen

Long Legged Women
''Sounds good. I hear some improvement. Getting some good feeling into your playing.''
   --BlueInGreen

Long Legged Women
''Good post Ringer...some good ideas in there....perhaps coulda cut back on the reverb, also used the piano break to take a rest...sort of re-group. Things are looking up''
   --Peter Holliman

Caveman Stomp
''Excellenty Ringer....loved it. You bought a life into the old boy. All fitted together well. Fun....that's the name of the game.....and I had the max listening to this one.''
   --Peter Holliman

''love your vocals,you just need some practice and smooth them warts right on out!phrase the way you sing and it will come with time.''
   --Bro.Bob

Long Legged Women
''There was some nice stuff in there. What would have helped is a recurring theme or melody to add a sense of direction and purpose to your soloing.''
   --Mark wilson

''Not too shabby at all for a new comer ! great stuff keep working on your bends for the moment and on your tone :) You seem to have the right feel for the blues''
   --Tonyh

''Bends are not bad at all - good start. You are getting a nice raspy tone out of that BoB''
   --htrain

''Its all to do with playing about with the dynamics of the sound, both whats going in, and, whats been recorded. PM me and I'll explain a little more''
   --Peter Holliman

Granite Bay
''Thanks for the comment Peter. But how do you "beef up the tone"?''
   --Ringer

Granite Bay
''Pretty good Ringer....some good licks and good tracking on the B/T. Perhaps coulda beefed-up the tone just a tad. Something to look at for the future.....''

''Hi Ringer, not sure how long you've been playing, but this had some direction, and purpose, and sounded pretty good. A bit more variation, along with some texture and dynamics, would add a bit of polish to your solos.''

''Welcome Ringer. Good go at it. Some nice ideas but I think you overplayed at times. Try simplifying and using in more chords while you work on your single notes.''
