Slow and Sweet indeed. May be more blues and less notes/scales then the typical jazz musician but it lets the bass lines and the piano chords breath. Much of my favorite jazz musicians (Miles, Chet Baker) in fact often had a similar approach.
@DMB. Why did you take your version of this song down???
Nice work and spaced your playing well, maybe add some delay with audacity, otherwise keep em coming.
Good playing with you own unique style and sound but slightly out of sync with the BT. Latency problem?
Yes a little rough, but some cool vibrato and hand effects.
@Ringer Thanks man:o) Youll get there, just keep playing!Try and sing ,like a scat song along with the BT until you find a counter melody. Then play it on the harp.Change it slightly for another verse,then solo for a verse then maybe repeat verse 1.Voila!
Well played but I thought the effects took away from the jazzy nature of the BT rather than complimenting it.
I truly wish my mind heard what your does and then my body could execute it. Satisfaction to the extreme!!
Man, you and Sander must be putting up songs every other day!! Thanks OK. Your chrome work gets more and more enjoyable as you travel on your journey.
Something amiss but I'm not sure what. I don't think this one reflected your talent adequately.
You've got the blues in your soul brother!!
Nicely laid out Ed. Some interestingly original licks that blended nicely in a jazzy cocktail.
It's just not fair that you can play like that and Hank and I can't. Talent is squandered on the youth. Very, very nicely played.
Laid back, for sure. I think you could have been a little meaner at times but you accomplished your goal in style.
Just a few gliches but not enough to give away the show and disrupt your mastering of the chrome.
That's some sweet stuff. You always have some different sounds coming out of your mouth!!
It's good to know you got something in your head. That's a starting point. Really enjoyed the control you have in your hand and vocal effects.
I 'd have to say that you're really coming along on that chrome playing. It's fun to see how it forces you to change from some of your same old patterns. Nice job.
Lots of fx, but man your tearin the joint up with this one, loud and proud!!!
Very good jazz. I think the jazz bt's fit your playing style the best.
Don't ever think you're special. We all lead double lives or at least we'd love to. Harp plyaing was spot on.
I really loved this BT
Your solos are always an enjoyable venture back in time.
Nailed this one. Love to hear that vibrato coming on.
Nice chrom work Ed. Really getting it all worked out!
some very interesting riffs in there - big range from uncertainty to some brilliant moments IMHO - middle part solid - interesting tone for set up you used
wicked tone and raspy growls in opening - solid chorus forms and melody lines - warbles with bends effective - cool scale runs @2:00 - yeah!!
wow! - Bb on the C chrome - impressive playing in that position - I enjoy your chromatic playing - crisp and flowing - cool melody lines - well done!!
different approach but felt what you were going for - not sure of the scale used or the implications of harp tuning - interesting one!
Nice job on the vox especially. Cool.
You knew what to do with this one
Creative. You took that one for a good ride.
Friggin awesome, and the drummer loves you for leaving him space!
And you make it sound so easy, nice groovin all the way.
Nice job!! You're well on your way. Can't give you any advice as I don't know what I'm doing myself. Just more practice.
Is it off key or something? maybe i'm not that much into bossa style.
Some cool stuff on this one, Veijo. However sometimes it sounds to me you get lost in playing so many notes that you forget the rhythm of th BT
Obviously the same dedication to practicing the chrom as for the bluesharp. Keep them coming, Hank. This is exactly what this site is about!!!
Some great harping on this one Mike!!!! Like the part where you switch to chord playing for a while. Cool lyric too especially since the are all ad lib. Very, very good post!
Good first post ! :o)
Superbly played with lovely tone.
Lovely laid back blues.Enjoyed it a lot :o)
Impressive stuff ! You've got great skills.
This is pure virtuosity, great. Are you sure you are not Howard Levy? ;-)
Nice and catchy jazz theme in the beginning. I like the way you are digging deeper to the world of jazz.
Nice first post. Keep on playing and you will start swinging soon!
Nice one Sander.
Powerfull sound! Really like it. Great. Well done
just got standing up man waht a tension !!
welcome and this sounds pretty good need some more deep tones but a real good start!!
like your mistakes!! a good harping on that , shure sounds like jazz!!
just awsome timing and breathcontrolling !! some notes could be meaner but others are good enough to oversea!!great set up!!
good job!
yeah tremolo is all!! and some doseing too! this is a good feel!
Good vibe all over ! wide range and all the things wanna hear!!
fantastic temperament on the fire !! How sweet and full of Bossa!!
Spot on and seriously bluesy man!!
solid tremolo - blues feeling for sure - cool lyrics and gravelly vox - fx at the "good for me" level - harp comping and solo work bang on - Another great one Sander!!
good one - nice runs on there and bang on with chord progressions - nice use of spaces - warbles working well - keep the posts coming !!
you got it, bit of delay might add some things, like i said, you got it. Keep em comin.
Now we hear something :P! You have the right feel for the blues progression already. Keep posting here and you will improve fast! good first post
I see you are really into jazz playing lately and I can hear you are taking more risk in your jazz playing too. You are starting to flow really nicely along the chord changes ! I always love the ideas you come with too!You keep getting better on the chrom
Cool to have you back Ben, cool jazz chrom playing! This is an exclellent track too by Ed ! Could be in a movie !
Great tone and nice boogie licks ! Well done Eric !
Nice hand wah wah ! You got a nice tone to your harp with very nice growls. Cool singing as usual too!
Cool minor playing! Your control on your bend is getting better. Keep working on that ! Overall very nice !
Hey another very nice. I always like blues chrom and I didn't know you were playing any chromatic harmonica ! Great !
I like the range and tone of this powerbender low Eb harp on the high notes. Great jazzy playing too! You were really getting loose on some parts ! Keep these jazz one coming !
You have a great talent to come out with those adlib lyrics all the time ! pure blues singing and playing !
Cool ! You have a nice Tongue blocking tone. Great old school blues solo!
Like your approach on this one with a wonderfull vibrato. Couple of notes that were not really in the scale but the feeling was definitely there. Not an easy track !
Nice one ! You really have improved lately ! Keep at it my friend !
This is the one I thought I commented on Edooard :)
vous m'avez incité à sourire mon ami
Dang Ed. You're getting so jazzy sounding on that thang. Nice.
you sure have that chrome going well - love it! - nice flowing melody lines that swing - another solid one!!
beautiful!! love the chops and the rhythmic approach - you are a Master, Antoine!!
It's kind of an honor that an incredible player like you want to copy something I played. You're moving around freely over all 3 octaves of the harp like I never hear anybody do at this site. Simply amazing!
Man! That's some great playing!
Excellent ! I couldn't resist copying a bit of your excellent theme on my version so sorry for that ! Very nice playing and track !
Liked the feel on this one Sander.
Great as always Tony. My 5 for you.
Nice work Hank, keep it up.
Has the groove has the delay. Good on ya man.
Which mug? What a decision :-) And talk about a talking harp!
Groovin. Sometimes I couldn't decide if the harp volume/force/air-flow was just right, or a little soft. Good vocals that fit right in
I listen to your playing and want to fire up my amp
I would say it's woodwind-like as a compliment - but it's good pure harp, well blended with the woodwinds
I'm enjoying your acoustic playing
Well done. Could be a Movie soundtrack
@Windsaver - thanks - Age? - its all about attitude ;-)
Mission accomplished! It's amazing how fast you developed your skills as a harmonica player in the past months/years. Especially considering your age.
nice work on the chrome - solid melody lines that respect the chord changes - groove bang on - well done!
nice to hear you on the chrome Ben - sweet flowing melody lines and expressive articulation - lots of feeling in here!! another good one!!
cool tone - bits and pieces worked out just fine! - nice chorus forms and melody lines - some wicked riffs in there - techniques very effective - lots to borrow from in here - thanks Eric!!
And then there's Frosty, who keeps sounding better and better, and always makes me pull out a harp to visit where he trail blazes
Good one. It's fun to hear what folks do with the different backing tracks.
Enjoyed this one several times through
So beautiful.
So hard for me to even contemplate playing to this, well done.
Love this one! Voice, harp and blues feeling. Thank you
Good playing (and still improving), fits the BT. Well done!
Now thats what I'm talking about. Good work!
Cool stuff, something you have say's this is Eric!!..you have that "hoo howw' tone there, hy5's!!!!!!!....lol
And here I was thinking you were talking about Jazz and Blues :-)
Howdy Ben! Good to hear you here again
Did well with a challenging piece. The effects fit. I'd like to hear you playing some things without heavier effects
Good acoustic with a range of effects
Beautiful, subtle phrasing as always.
Very understated playing.
ah Sander - rough and ready - great tone and hand effects - vox as always!! - you really are playing great harp - love that sustained note @1:12 and the little patterns leading into it - growls are wicked - sweet rhythmic pattern variations - well done!!
smooth flow to melody lines - interesting tuning - like to hear more about it - playing this in the key of E?? - very nicely done!!
low and slow - the way I like it ;-) well done Veijo - nice swinging feel with smooth articulation - like the catchy rhythmic work @ 1:05 - you really have got the Powerbender tuning down - great swinging rhythms @2:30 through to end - congratulations!!
sensitive goods man! fijn!
yeah if you want it let dont stop ya!! has a rich sound !pickedd some good lines!
Thats what we know for years!!juat great a man speaks his mind!! good harp tooo as always!!just feel for ya!!
You do that so easy man and your on style!!
you where so fast just missed ya!! btw you seen Eric?
your continsity inspires me!!
like the repeating verse, all is real nice!!
Good one Mike! The vocal refrain reminds me of Standing Around Crying by Muddy Waters.
You took us on a good tour with that one. Good vocals and harp
Next the Edsanmi twins go dancing across the floor with a good combination of harps
And then Mark stepped into the room with a beautiful sound - round on the house!
Dang, Hank. That's steppin out... into a cool place!
You're getting to grips with these alternate tunings Frosty.Lovely playing with great runs and a nice melody too.
Methinks your best to date :o)
Mike,you just keep getting better and better.Great vox and wicked playing:o)Lovely tone too.
My fav of yours...........so far!
You did great on this :o) You stayed mostly in the lower octave.Everything you played can be played,exactly the same in the middle and upper octaves.Also try and create a bit of tension on the turnaround.I'd practise the blues scale in all 3 octaves too.
Creative and fun to listen to. Nice
Sounds like someone's been practicing hehehehe. Welcome back to you Sir :)
Hi Hank, you are doing great job with chromatic harp. There are some moments and runs where you sound like a pro player!
Fine jazz-harp playing, Veijo!!!
Pretty good Hank, the big stick seems to be a natural thingy with you. nice work.
Always a good thang from you, hy5
mix, vox, harp all more than decent Mike - lyrics real and cool!! - you are a blues musician all the way!! - very wicked wailing harp solos man!! - tone bang on especially @2:36 - beauty!!
ahhh, now I understand the forum comment - get back on that horse dude!!
nice one Joe - like the foot stomp - nice bleeds and rhythm - old timer and solid!!
sweet, harsh and mellow all at once - beautiful stuff Ron - killer tremolo and great use of timing and spaces - well done!!
Done er' good :)
Tony - this is really great! Also love what you did with the Cakewalk bt. Very inspiring and helps with things to try on these tracks.
Good blues voice. Nice harp playing too. Make it sound as confident as the vocals and it's perfect.
Beautiful harmonica solo, Ron! Not an easy BT to play along with. Very good!
A little hesitant in some places, sounding like your still looking notes to fit the chords. Overall good though with the right New Orleans feel
Where's the harmonica?
Hy 5 anyway...
I can feel that you tried your heart out in this number, well played, and your a harpin dude also!!!
Shit hot, the end.
So hard to comprehend even playing to this bt, i'm glad you figured it out, hy5's bro.
Well its not bar rockin blues, but a damm hard bt to get into for me, hy5 cause your a member type of dude.
Your another dude hangin in and harpin away here, hy5's also.
Dear deadfish, its a great bt, now you gotta figure out how to upload your suff, hy5 for the name, i like it. Actually i only eat dead fish on a bbq with some beers and buddies....lol.
Golly gee, i'm a bar rockin type of man, you dun well, hy5 cause your a dude.!!
Like a bluesy Dylan, better harp than he plays, of course. One of your best.
Liked it, got the groove good and stayed on top of it!
Always great to hear a player of your ability. This was like warming up for you, then you got it into gear with The Blues Sushi.
Whew, that's the blues deluxe! Great singing and playing!!
Liked the ending a lot (seriously) but otherwise it was not as good you usually do IMHO. But you play so many BTs, you're entitled to an occasional flub.
Made it into my Best of HB folder!
Beautiful, sounds like a French movie theme.
Simply a tour de force, I listened to this over and over Saturday afternoon, what a pleasure!
One of your best, to the IPOD if I owned one, LOL I'm a Luddite...
Got a Floppy vibe, dug it all the way! Jamworthy singing!
Didn't you play this head before? Worth another listen anyway, very nice.
Wow, there's that vibrato! First 45 seconds sounded like a pro, then you stumbled a few times but always came back strong! Great ending. A big step up for you, IMHO.
Loved it, felt like I was at SPAH listening to Joe Piscopo, or whatever his name is....uh, Filisko?
Great to hear you again, Ben! World-class harping here, as usual! I keep a running text file of your forum lessons, maybe you can start that up again? : )
Vox was great. Background harp just flowed along a pleasant path.
Classically layed out call and response. Down low and dirty. Excellently played slow blues.
You nailed this one. Just excellent harp work. It's amazing what can come out of a harp when you know what your doing!!
The vox was smooth as silk and the harp horny as hell which might be why your living life double. Very sweet Dennis.
Diversity makes this site so rewarding and you embody that with your emotional singing and playing. Really liked this one.
Had to hear the master work the coffee cup. Nice effect. Good early morning exercise after you've drined it. Harp work is top notch as always.
Had to listen a second time. Very relaxing listen.
you really have that chrome working for you - nice swinging licks and melody lines - sweet crisp articulation - nice one!
nice effect with mug - melody lines flow - sweet licks - always the master Ben - love how you use the whole harp!!
vocals great - lyrics well done - harp kind of laid back but in groove and congruent with vocals - like that tone - cool riffs in comping and solo - solid take!!
Very nice use of the minor harp ! Fits perfectly ! Thanks for the nice BT lately !
Another good one !
Always excellent playing Mark. Nice job !
very nice one. One of your best I heard so far !
nice mix of the track. Good back porch playing as mentionned. Overall nice !
The delay works ok with the track but it's maybe a bit too much for my taste. Not an easy track for sure. Good job !
Good to have you back! Great slow blues !
Pro stuff for sure. You have a very nice voice! Awesome harp too !
You always seem to have a lot of fun doing your recording and that's what I like about them ! Cool one floppy
Nice !!! Love to hear you play those nice slow blues ! Excellent feeling and note selection! What a tone too !
The tone and singing kinda remind me of led zeppelin :). Good one. Some nice moments on harp too
great raw blues. Good tone with the mug too. cool stuff !
Very nice jazzy blues playing. Love the chrom tone too. Another good one !
Good stuff Dan. Liked the vox/harp split on headphones. Way to keep the harp minimal as to not draw away from the vox. Nice playing and a'mixin'
Yeah Beelz. Coolness. The lead in was very nice. Lots o'variety and great tone and jamming. One of your best imho.
Yeah...good story Sander. Wish those vocals were up a bit more so I could hear them better :) Harpin worked well.
Cool song. Great singing voice. Not your best harp solo inmho but great tone with that harp
Great tone. I really like it! And a great song too. Lots of feeling. Thank you
beauty fat tone and articulation - nice 'ways' without exaggeration - cool tremolo and warbles - very nice stuff indeed!!
ahhh Antoine - beau - un autre exemple de vous jeu superbe!! - félicitations mon ami!! I can only dream of getting to this stage so back to bed I go ;-)
sweet, melodic and well played - very moody and enjoyable - well done!
love that opening - feel the pain in there - vox congruent with mood - lyrics great! - harp moans - good one Sander
Perfectly executed :o)Superb runs with great tone.
The vocals were good, nice harp tone, but felt there was a few tentative moments on the harp.
This is simply sublime ! Superbly played :o)
Your best track to date ! Lovely bluesy feel to both harp and especially the vocal.
Wicked hornlike tone backed up by smooth vocals :o)
Got better and better as it went along after a slightly shakey start with a couple of "jazz" notes!
Hey Bruce, this is good.To my ear you're improving every BT you post.
Even liked the lo-fi sound as it suited the BT.
Enjoyed the journey you took me on Ringer.
You nailed this one Ed. Can hear a Blind Owl influence in there. :o)
Very nicely played. Great ,tone and phrasing.
Liked everything :o)
I think this is your best track to date Bob. Keep it up :o)
Another great track with Floppies unique style. :o)
Enjoyed this Frosty. Well done :o)
Masterful, Ben! Loved the way you worked your way up the harp with those octaves.
Yup. Feeling around on some of it but nice job in a weird position :)
Now thats swingin old time groove ! thanks, good Ben a lil wilder one!!
Cool singing like your voice ,great fit and a groovy harmonica , just think all is good, btw never need no lyrrics cause make em up while starting.
Waouw ! I like it!!just a great sound and technique with a strong bite !now thats playing!!
Play to this and your on your way to "superharper" status, hard bt 4 me, easy for you, hy5!!
Another excellent piece of work by one of our fav members. The harp guy wins the babe's i read somewhere, you must be a busy boy most nights i think.
Its great to see one of the great experimenters back. Great playing as always. Very pretty, relaxed tone.
Beautiful playing! Go to New Orleans son! Sounds like a lot of overblows too. With your vibrato, your harmonica is a sweet as a clarinette sometimes. Wow!
Nice hand effects and tone Cam. Tasty ear treats
I really like your song. Nice vocals and great harping. Thank you
It is no surprise this was a great song. Well played and rich tone. Thank you
Terrific tone! I really enjoyed your song. Thank you
Cool one! You did a great job with this bt. Very interesrting song. Congratulations
Shook me all rover and a good primitive tone too!!
All genius talk to fit harp!special sauce too! likr it
