      ''very nice accustic harping with lots of effects.I think you ment for it to be real treably and bright,but it is for sure a different tone.''
         --Daniel Blues

      Corn On The Cob
      ''The timing was good and did not sound to bad with your Harp playing! net picking it could used little more tone..''

      ''Nothing wrong with Country, though I do have to go back decades to find my favorites. I remember some good pickers eying my pony tail from the porch of a country store years back saying "we don't play no Led Zeppelin son" :-)''

      ''Harp sounds a bit like a Kazoo!!! The phrasing, timing, and cadence of your solo is a big step up for you. Keep em coming, nice one!''

      Corn On The Cob
      ''BAG,I would listen to your friend next time! But you stuck with this well. Sounds like too much treble in the harp track or something like that (not that I would know - my recording skills are close to zero!)''
         --Eric Martin

      Corn On The Cob
      ''Simple effective melody similar to Frosty's. Coming right along.''

      ''Hey man, no time to practice, well jam with us anyway! Great job. Although, man that sure is a funny tone. Puts the tin in tin sandwich. But you make it work.''

      ''Interesting melody - crisp notes gave it a definite effect - listened to it a couple of times and liked it more and more each time''
         --htrain

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Yes man, I like your tone. Fits the BTrack. You are really coming along. Good melodic work. You might want to think about leaving some silence at the end of your notes. It would change the character of the solo quite a bit though.''
         --Rick

      Dirty Fingers
      ''You deserve to go GOLD on this one. Great improvement in your playing.''
         --Ringer

         --Steph Wilson

      ''You know, when you sing, the harp tone is perfect because it's tonally in the background. Great job!''

      ''Sounds like you had fun.Cool vocals and lyrics!Sounds like you are working too hard on harp-using way too much air force.Ease up and don't overpower the reeds or they won't sing.''
         --BlueInGreen

      ''Tough track to fit in to but you did it nicely! The tone was a bit rough and thin. Liked the vocals as well. Good post BAG!''

      ''Intensity and timing were good. I did not like too much of the thin sound. Some vibrato would do good.''

         --Downhome Dave

      ''Somtimes your harp soundet a little off. Playing nice, feeling good!''
         --Midnight

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Your beend are getting better:) Your 6 OB is almost in pitch too. Try to play very lightly with your harmonica while still having a good tone. It will help you bend in pitch. Cool bluesy feeling by the way:)!''
         --Tonyh

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Got lots of feeling coming through-just pushing too hard (I did that a lot in the past).When you push so hard, you'll stop up your reeds or overbend them.''

      ''Angry indeed! Some notes not very good, but the feeling came through.''
         --Frosty

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Got a good feel for the track. Lots of offnote bends though. Try playing shorter licks with space between them.''
         --BlueInGreen

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Some real sour notes, maybe intentional. Sure did express your anger.''
         --roknwil

      ''This one was good for me, middle to the end. A little rough in the beggining. Good post.''
         --Mc7

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Not at all bad.I think that you are trying to run before you can walk-you are grappling with the instrument rather than controlling it.Learn some simple melodies from notation to familiarise youself with the note layout.''
         --Aqua

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Can't be out of your league because this is a learning site. You did a very good job, but watch your timing.''
         --Appleman Ed

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Working those bends nicely in there BAG. A couple of the notes sounded like a bagpipe for a second. That's a neutral comment...I'm just sayin' : )''
         --Lips Angelo

      ''there is no league...just blues...I thought this had some good moments throughout....cool work''

         --Bro.Bob

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Nice laid back feel, and some good musical ideas, although you fell out of sync with the rhythm section at times. Working off the root notes of the chrords would add some polish. Liked that you didn't overplay...''
         --Mark wilson

      Schimm Schamm
      ''Don't be knocking your playing! Might have jumped around a little more - dynamics and note choices - but that's just picking hairs - well played.''

      ''Good try. Not really getting a swing feel that carries along with the btrack. Try listening more to the drums and bass, playing more behind the beat & accenting the strong swing beats of the drums and following the bass for the chord progression''

      Fine Funking Fun
      ''LMAO, been there man, way back in the seventies. Crazy effects, sounds like Hunter Thompson blowing a bagpipe full of helium. Ditto what Huhn said, I'm one average-voiced guy who knows how much the right effects can help singing.''

         --BlueInGreen

      ''Lots o bending going and some minor timing issues around the 30 second mark, but you're trying to keep it interesting. Maybe a bit too much on the delay for my ears, but to each his own. Keep at it BAG. Improving all the time.''

         --Ronnie

      A Very Mellow Fellow
      ''Good go at it BAG. I think Ben's right that you were fighting the notes somewhat rather than letting the phrases flow smoothly. You played too hard at times. Lots of good ideas ... send the family out for longer next time! :-)''
         --Brett

      A Very Mellow Fellow
      ''You got the intro pretty close with the notes. Just the timing but that was hard to do I must agree. Great exercise isn't it ? you keep improving :)!''
         --Tonyh

      A Very Mellow Fellow
      ''I really appriciate you doing this!! The intro may sound simple at first but it isn't because of the timimg. I can hear you fighting the notes. They are there in your head but the next phase is playing them without fighting the notes.. well done!!''
         --Ben Bouman

      Granite Bay
      ''Playing ahead of the beat a lot of the time, and vocals were rushed too. Lock in with the drums, and the song will flow better. On harp, simplify, use your harp percussively, & focus of good tone. Then, lots of good things will start to happen.''

         --Dean

      Granite Bay
      ''Great lyrics.Delivery/voice reminds me of John Hiatt! Just smooth out delivery a bit to make a little less lilting.Harp playing is good with couple off bends, but it is stepping on the vocals.Stay out of the way of your vocals more.''

      ''Some nice melody. tone sounds a little pinched.Is it a handheld mic? I'm not really familiar with the Audix fireball mics, but this sounds like close mic'd acoustic harp.''

      ''Has some nice lines and good sound. Agree with the comments on staying with just regular bends and concentrating on flow etc before the overbends. Glad to see you trying it all though. Keep em coming.''

      ''Tone here would be better on an acoustic track, maybe work on cup seal and mouth chamber for this one. Otherwise, some interesting musical ideas.''
         --BeelzeBob

      ''Some great use of the OB in there. Don't push them too hard otherwise your harp will die quickly.OB can be done very gently.''
         --Tonyh

      Horny n Saxy
      ''Nice note choice. Very interesting! The tone is a little piercing. Ha ha, I think I am hearing those overblows. Great progress on them. I can't play them at all. So hats off to you!''

      ''Thanks dblues and tonedeft for the polite specific comments. Loved the B-T so much that I couldn't resist trying something with it.''
         --Brown Ale Guy

      Horny n Saxy
      ''What to work on: Less of the overblow. On mixing: (Harp) More verb and less treble, possibly tighter cupping of the mic.''
         --dblues

      Horny n Saxy
      ''Sounding better B.A.G. All that practise is showing results. Are some notes bent to far down and some normal unbent draw notes played with a slight unintended bend?''

      Got No Valentine Just The Blues
      ''That was pretty good. Have you set the harp up for overblows? I guess you are bound and determined to get those "missing" notes. Keep practicing, you'll develop the necessary control eventually. By the way, I think that was a D harp not an A as you stated''

      ''Liked the lyrics, but I'm startin to think you have a thing about beer??? My suggestion on your harpin is to have more conviction with your phrasing. A stronger attack and a more concise end to your phrases. You definitely got it goin with the 6ob..''
