        ''I think all the suggestions for improving tone are right. Your tone isn't too bad here. With time you'll let it flow a bit better. You seem to have a pretty good idea of how to get around the harp. Welcome.''

        ''I like this version better than your other one ! rythm in the beggining is rushed a bit but this was hard to do !''

        ''Tone isn't bad at allat the moment. Key for big tone is playing with diaphragm. easier to say than to do hehe. Do some breathing exercice each day and it will help alot ! Great feeling by the way:) watchout for some off notes!!''

        ''without bend notes it is hard to play the intro. but still a nice take.Good acoustci sound . In the ending you lost the timing.''

        ''Some carefull playing in this one , loosen up and things will improve. Try less treble to tone down your sound if you think its too thin, its not that bad really.''
           --DaveyG

        ''Your natural tone is excellent for the time you've played. The tighter the seal around the mic when cupped the deeper the tone.''

        ''Good job WB...timing seemed a bit off here and there, but it came out pretty well.''

        ''Good got at it WB. Some hesitant passages, so work on fluidity between notes and phrases.''

        ''Nice clean approach to the challenge''

        ''Nice workin' it. Way to try the challenge. This one pushed me over to Adam Gussow's lessons 3 and 4 on Youtube to work on low notes yesterday. If you haven't checked it out, I recommend it.''

        ''Nice and melodic WB. Good take.''

        ''Sounds good Warbeak. I'm not the guy for tone advice. Struggling and learning myself, but try the Ben challenge on this song over in open mic. If you come close, than tone will improve.''
           --Brown Ale Guy

        A Very Mellow Fellow
        ''Some nice melodic idea.Aqua gave tone suggestion and he is a master.I htink mart of issue is how you are micing.Are you holding that clean mic. Try playing acoustic off the mic or using a different mic maybe?''
           --BlueInGreen

        A Very Mellow Fellow
        ''Your tone doesn't sound bad. Try rolling back the treble on your harp track.''
           --Mark wilson

        A Very Mellow Fellow
        ''Not to bad sound,you need a tube amp or even pig nose amp,try working on longer draw notes with your bends on the low end of the Harp.''

        ''you get it,keep posting and playing(and listening) as much as you can!lol ''

        A Very Mellow Fellow
        ''Your tone is not bad. Each note has a nice solid body but masked by the PC mic boosting the higher frequencies. A Low Pass Filter or Equalization in Audacity can balance that. But do see the Forum - Harp Playing Technique - "How do ya get" (scary stuff!)''
           --tonedeft

        A Very Mellow Fellow
        ''Since you ask how to get more tone-learn to use the muscles in your diaphragm,tongue,hands,jaw and throat. Get an instruction course.'Paul Butterfield's Harmonica Masterclass' is the best I know of-unstructured but very insightful.''

        ''Great job not playing over the guitar. Good solid notes.''
           --Mc7

        ''Good following of the rhythm and chords.Maybe volume up a bit high on mic so sound is slightly pinched.''

        ''I hear you Peter. I still find myself getting nervous even just recording. Striving for the boos feeling without the the boos.''

        ''Like the theme you set - maybe check volume balance between harp and BT ??''

        ''Good debut.The harmonica sounds a bit naked and dry.I couldn't operate Audacity at all.''
           --Aqua

        Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
        ''Off to a good start - hope you keep them coming. Well played - a little shrill on the high notes - maybe some EQ and a little delay would have sweetened it but no biggie.''

        ''I have been trying to bend but it is a major obstacle for me to conquer. What did you mean RonDutch about learning 12 bar blues? Was my timing and rhythm off some?''

        Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
        ''Hi Wabeak, nice playing and can hear u play 16 monds, maby it i time for u to learn the 12 bar blues,so you can hear were u are in the music, this was also a good improvement for myself, are u already starting with the bends? Keep on sending new tracks!!''

        Late Nite At Tonys Lounge
        ''Welcome in. Enjoy yourself to the max. You have the basics plus. Hard to critique at this time not knowing how long you been playing. Sounded very controlled (like you know what you are doing)!''
