A good, strong approach. It sounded like you were having fun ...
@Harplayer - Check out the Open Mic for the amplified version.
Welcome to the site Cas! Way to jump right in off the deep end. Where are you from?
Interesting cut. Cool. It's clever how you come up with lyrics.
Skillfully played with a sweet tone. Octave put in very nicely with some well placed Wah Wahs. Very controlled exact note playing on the bending
That was amped up and sounding really good. You know how to get the sound. Welcome to the site.
Beautiful sweet and mellow matched the backtrack very well. I liked how to worked with the other players in the band by backing out at the appropriate time, and coming back like a champ.
Sounded kind of - feline mellow...
Nice tone from the Kazoo. Good job.
Nice and relaxed. Sounded real good to me. Would like to hear the same chromatic ST played through your Tweed amp. Some very interesting licks and a pleasing tone on this cut.
sweet and sultry Veijo - love the way you get the flowing riffs - tremolo effective - well done!!
solid tone there!! - nice flow to melody and warbles working well - good one!!
good for you to explore the "big stick' - nice tone but agree with comments re"tentative - good melody lines
Very nice. Your harp playing sounded very horn like.
Sounded nice to me. I thought it was well mixed and I liked the variety from your normal stuff. It sounded different to me.
A very pleasant listening experience. I liked this one. It was very nice and mellow.
No complaints from me and I'm a purist. I liked the effect, but it didn't sound much like a harmonica to me. Well done.
Cool approach with chord playing. Welcome!
Mysterious and sultry Veijo. I can hear this drifting on a tropical breeze down an alley in San Juan PR from a late night club. The dancers like it too.
I like the chord bark you get Ringer. The four draw is good for wailing but try to bring in some lower notes like two draw bent for variety and bite.
Good to hear you try out the big harp Joe. More tentative than your great diatonic playing but definitely some good chrom techniques being developed!
Lots of feeling and some nice licks. Also some out of tune notes. I liked the vibrato.
Not your best playing allthough there were many nice moments. I hear some intonation problems with some notes.
Interesting experiment. I liked the effect. With a bit more groovy playing this would have been excellent to my taste.
You got your own style and feeling always. Watch the bends.
Not bad but maybe you are more at home with small harps, which you play very fine.
Nice sound. You got it coming, now you need practise bends and groove and get the notes more controlled.
A very enjoyable, laid-back presentation.
Smooth as silk Ron, very nice listen. You've really refined your playing in the past six or so months.
Wiggle you did Sander! Good but you stepped on the horn a bit much at times near the beginning. As always it has your unique style!
Good 3rd position Mid, fits the minor key BT well. Hey, where'd everybody go? There are barely any songs posted here!?
Nice one..in control all the way.
Nice one Ron... Put your feeling in it... and made it yours!
Great tone Joe! Great track too! Congrats!
Nice and rich, mellow and easy. Good listening while drinking some coffee.
Sounded like a duck playing underwater. Thought my media palyer was shot at first. Points for experimentation.
Nice to see someone with the "bones" to jump right on the train and ride her. And ride her you did.
I threw my 2 cents, I mean 3 points in. That bone takes a long time but it was worth the wait.
That was sweet! 3rd position is nice when you play it that way. Deep rich tone with a touch of vibrato.
Wow! Your mind heard different things than mine when I listen to this BT. I liked what you heard! Why not be a sheep herding Russian soldier, Sounds like a good combination with extra benefits!!
Nothing fancy but everything in the right place
Blues drippin from ya there Ed. Real sweet expressive.If I could lay er back that far I'd try to lay er back even a tad more.
Latin all the way. Nice contrast high to low.
you got the horn working !! The whole works ! Would have love to see how you would have entered the BT earlier. Nice stuff
Don't know the position but it certainly worked for you with your ability to hit those bends. Well done!!
sweet haunting opening - nice tone and clean articulation with flowing note patterns - high end working well - liked the note bleeds at 2:35 - nicely done Ron!!
love it - very cool effect - obviously could be overdone BUT for something like this - totally cool - great melody lines and rhythmic patterns - good one!!!
clean and nicely under control throughout.
I do like electronic music - it's a cool experiment to make a harp sound like a synth. What still comes through is your sense of melody and controlled playing. Kraftwerk would welcome you up for a tune or two with that pedal!
Your playing is tasteful and imaginative. I really don't like the tone. Sorry. I am not a fan of electronic type music. I do admit that it is clever.
Good playing.
I won't give you points because you don't want them. Did you play the Bone on this? Great job. Nice acoustic tone on the harp.
I liked your take on the tune. You make a deep resonant tone. Enjoyed listening.
Cool this sounds like a chromatic harmonica to me. Well played.
I always play your songs over and over because they sound so cool. Your tone is something I want to copy. I wish I could get a lesson on tone from you especially how you set up your amps and mics. You have that brown over driven tone that everyone wants.
You always get cool tones out of your instruments. Imaginative playing, blending in well with the backtrack. Good listen.
Tastefully done. Good job with it keep them coming in third position.
You came up with some nice ideas. As a harmonica player I would have liked to hear them sooner in the tune. But I can see how you might want to lay out if you where playing out with a band to show them you won't step on them. Cool playing.
Sweet tone full of feeling.
Wonderful playing. Nice tone smooth licks. Technically very sophisticated. Enjoyed listening too.
Really nice playing. I enjoyed this track quite a bit.
Very cool tune. Nice playing. Good mix.
Wicked tone! Love the sounds.
Really cool playing. Very nice sound to it.
Nice playing Ed.
@moablues - Recently, I was told that a lot of people recording new music have been using the 520DX to mic stuff. I thought I'd give it a shot. It seems to work pretty well. Plus, I've got cable problems on my other dynamic mics.
Like you say nothing fancy..but great 'brown' tone.Why are you using a 520dx as a amp mike!? Mind you it seems to work,JT30 and a bullet what a mix.
another cool track from Frosty
yeah 3rd is really those 2 and 3 hole bends.But when you think of it those are the same bends you(can) play in 2nd position on the V chord.You are serious about the Harp..liked it.
Nice, clean recording. Loved your tone on the low notes.
Nicely done ... distinctive phrasing and feeling.
I got a laugh out of those comments. I liked the playing, never enough trombone in the world - but no points for you! :-)
OMG, Ed voted. 3pts, oh my aching Ego. How will I ever recover? Hahahahahaha
Thanks Ed LOL
I just voted 3 for this. Now I probably hurt Dennis' ego, but what else does it mean?
Cool jazz on a 'difficult' track.I think you should of maybe come in a little earlier though ;-)
you are wringing some great emotion out of 5th..it tells a story like harp should.
made a slow blues swing...great tone too.Great track imo
nice easy style but maybe needs some more varety around the phrases?
you seem to know your way round the harp,off the beat sometimes but a good track
I'd prefer no votes. In fact I have requested this several times. I wish Rick would put in a way to turn them off if you don't want them. I don't give points either only comments. I know Ed and some others feel the same way.
Nice expressive playing. Nice BT. Here's 5 for you. There are times when people leave comments on my stuff and don't vote. No big deal to me. Three is better than zero.
nice exchanges with the trombone Sander!! - sweet delicate tone for you - and the right level of vocals IMHO - well done!!
very melodic 3rd position playing - great note choices and flowing lines - nice acoustic tone - sweet accurate 2 draw bend at the 1:30 part - nicely done!!
Well here's another 3 (+2) points Dennis ;-) go figure!! - seriously another wonderful take, both on the bt and the harp play - what I really dig is the accurate yet expressive notes you play in the riffs and melody lines - sweet stuff man!!!
So, some people voted 3 points for you. What's the big deal? They don't mean anything anyway!
EEEEEHAAAAA! Another 3 pts. Keep em coming boys, they're a starting to add up. LOL
Had me in the palm of your hand there BB. Sweet tootin...... Nowt wrong with that.
Mark...Mark....Mark.... How'd you get to be so good? I know....practice (and a touch of skill I expect)
sweeet mix Ed. Controlled every element to the enth degree. Nice
Yup... its all there Van....nothing wrong that a few more posts won't cure.
Did it proud Slidelick...
delicate playing there FL. Enjoyed...
sweet Slavic feel here Peter!!! - vox adds to impact - imaginative performance - love what you did here!! straight from the Steppes!!!
beauty fat tone outta that rig Joe - solid straight ahead melody and riffs that hit the groove - Well done!!
pretty melody lines and love that tone on the G - warbles and tremolo effective - high end play gives nice contrast to that bottom - liked it!!
good one in third - nice tone and melody lines work well - note bleeds effective - good one!!
Very enjoyable Dan. Much tighter than your last attempt at 3rd. Cool.
Good horny sound Beelz. A little sharp but well done.
Nice 5th playing Mark.
Heerlijker dan ingelegde haringen Edooard! Tasteful.
Playing was cool Slider...mic/input too loud though.
Well I see some jealous asshole, probably harpn4fun, is still throwing me and others 3 points. Don't matter bro, my songs usually go gold anyway (I don't care as I usually take my songs down after a few days if I'm around)
A little diffrent from your usual. Lekker ingetogen gespeeld hoor, Sander! :)
good runs and steady control !
Crispy sound way cool!
guality play for 5th !
just keep playing getting to it! good one!
poeatry on harmonica!
power notes and theme, maybe a lil 2 bass
creates a whole new song!
classic play and settings! good!
beautifull trademark! suche clean solid sound..
My fav on the site so far. This is where I'd like to be some day....some day!
Good laid back stuff VanD. You should take the time time to listen/comment on others posts as well.
Keep up the good wor. Ringer! Check out Ricci's video "3rd Position Made Easy" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs4nD2yWd4k I been really tryin to work that stuff this weekend to improve my low end.
Well done, Brett
Some moments were not as strong as others - but a good upload
You ought to be a choral director Peter, you certainly can direct yourself well on the vox! It was a cool counterpoint to your nice harping.
You're too modest Joe. Great bread and butter Chicago style march. Always a crowd pleaser.
Nice Latin feel, love the low end work contrasted with the high notes Veijo.
Good use of 4 and 5 draw. Now, as Mark advised, kick it up a notch with some low 3rd position notes - 1 draw, 2 draw full step bend, 3 draw full step bend. You're on the way!
You must be living in the woodshed Mark! You go away for a while and come back with a whole new level of playing. I'm not even sure what 5th position is supposed to sound like, but this is very nice!
Reminds me me of "Einsamer Hirte" LOL. nice work on this Goatherder . And now for something completely different.
Nice rendition of this BT Frosty. The changes are a little tough with the Diatonic . Good job!
Beautiful slow blues Ed. You made some terrific melodic runs up and down the harp.
Solid job Van. You seem to be hanging around the middle of the harp a lot. Maybe bring in more low notes, like 2 draw bend for variety.
Way to go BB! That's some deep jazz feeling.
Fantastic Brett, im so proud of you, you have come a long way and you never gave up, well done
sweet! feeling it bro
Nice swinging bluesharp playing, Mike. Jawohl!
I can learn a lot from you, you keep it simple but so affective and percise, some times less is more, and i would love to hear more of you :-)
You are my favorite player, love your sound
Very lovely playing as always
That was a very special version of St. James Infirmary, Brett. Some nice chrom work there!
You were feeling your way around a bit, but you came up with plenty of excellent ideas. Tone was a bit thin in parts, but overall, this was a very very solid take!
Didn't know you had it in you Brett. Very respectable job on the chrome, and your best vocals yet.
Some good stuff in here, but this track also points out some glaring weaknesses in your playing. Your control of the 3d bend, and timing especially. That being said, there's a lot of very good stuff in here that you weren't capable of just a year ago.
Well, you made it work all the way through, playing way more than I thought was possible on this track. Impressive!
Timing and flow, not so good. Bends, phrasing, and control over the instrument, excellent!
Nice laid back feel, but tune could have used a bit more variety. Overall, a very solid take!
Best blues tune I've heard out of you.
Plenty of sweet bends, and bluesy phrasing. Good one!
Hell yes, sounded like a horn! Beautiful job on this challenging track!
Excellent!
You're doing a good job finding the sweet spots in 3rd. When you work the bends from the 3D down into your play, you'll find another whole world opens up to you. Nice take!
Back at you Frosty! Some sour notes, but the feeling was definitely there to compensate. Like when you drilled into the notes on the low end...
Yee haw, killer tone out of the champ clone! Nicely done traditional Chicago blues!
Definitely got the goat herding, gypsy thing going. Trippy vocals!! You're a strange dude Peter. I mean that in a good way!
Props to both the 'keyboard trombone' and the 'harp horn' for outstanding tone and congruent play - impressive and creative for sure!!
had to do a little 'homework' to fully appreciate what you did here!! - impressive to explore such a different position with the needed bends - well done!!
sweet crying harp playing - expressive and accurate - very nicely done!!
Don't know what "it's green" is but good harp players can make anything sing. You're singing here!! Less was better with BT then throwing in to many notes.
Funeral march in New Orleans! Great job Brett.
I liked it. Nice laid back blues.
You got some chops that are hidden by that mic I think.
Don't know Mingus but I love what he gave you. Lots of different melodies all rolled up in one.
Good beat, with a nice mix of chords and you've got a winner.
Very nice chrome and vocals. Chrome had nice horn sound at times. St James was perfect fit for this BT.
Top performance as usual from you.
Smooth and enjoyable to the ears! thank-You
Another Tinus or Howard Levy in our midst, playing a C harp exclusively? I admire your dedication, no easy task. This was cool first position stuff.
Awesome - Mingus is one of my jazz gods - you really captured his style wonderfully!
Hey Ron, cool to hear you on chrom, very nice!
Ok, maybe a couple of notes not in perfect pitch, but who cares when the feeling is this strong. I really liked your emotional playing here Mark.
Great playing D. I don't know the jazz guys that well. Mingus, Monk.....
Great stuff Brett. I still don't get my chrom to play it like this. Good lyrics.
Sounds great Ron
I knew you can do better than in the previous track. This is great.
Yes some hesitations and problems with time especially when you play overbends but still well played. I would like to hear you play with an acoustic sound instead this distorted sound.
Sounds good. Maybe try to use more notes/holes on the harmonica to create more of a melody next time.
Several notes and especially chords are out of tune. Not as good as your usual but you had a good idea where wanted to go. Most players have no clue what they are doing when the play 5th pos. Not easy to do. I'm not even going to try to play blues in 5th
Very, very, very good. Nothing else to say about this.
Nothing but creativiry went into this one...thank you!
Good one Bob. You definitely caught the essence of this track. Even the "sound" you used made it more horn-like. By the way, I played the Trombone on the keyboard. It is one of the most real sounding patches.
Another nice chrom effort, I liked your exploration here. A couple awkward spots, 3:18 being one. Intro notes danced, hooked me right off.
Wow, you should do more chromatic. Singing good, too. Even better than your last SJI, if memory serves.
Good playing as usual, amp don't hurt.
5, of course. Saw the last part of a documentary on Mingus. Never knew he was so messed up mentally, at least toward the end of his life.
Wow, you got talent, dude. That computer mic has a thin tone that was a little hard to take, but your skill came through.
Nice, lazy blues, good job...
Wow, great for a kids instrument, or most OOB for that matter.
My favorite part was at 1:45, but the whole thing was good.
I liked it! Nice ferocity. Good work.
Good playing Lips. Groovey trills near the end.
Nice heartfelt performance Brett! Nice tone.
Very nice touch you add to these tracks Ron. One of your best.
I agree not your best, but this had some very nice moments (1:00ish). Both amped and acoustic tone are great!
solid melody lines - nice note flow - good laid back feel!!! - well done!!
nice 1st position riffs- solid OB's - notes could flow a little more - nice warbles - good one
fill em up to lets go !! no cowboys only harpman left! expliciet singing and marvelous ride of rime@!+
just made my octaves creep higher what a wonderfull music!!!
a lil shy in the beginning , what els should a song be, just made me to feel it!!
! you were on good road there buddy! good meltification down to the end!
you really speak true that thing! good start and all way confident good recording too!! toast to ya!
You have an excellent touch. Like how you accent notes with your tongue slaps. Good dynamics.
Thick sound! For the most part I thought this was great. It did feel like you were reaching a bit to find the groove in a few spots, but magic on others. Nice!
Pretty darn good for applying a newly learned position. Liked the vocals. Do a few more in third.
Sounding good together guys. The reverb worked just right on this one.
Nice one Floppy. Good control and a steady flow.
Some difficulties in finding the fitting notes here and there, but you got the feeling. Liked the vocals.
Nice fat tone and some very good runs. Not perfect but good anyway.
Really nice 3rd position playing. Nice edgy sound in that amp.
I think I have heard much better from you. To my ears you were not at home with the rhythm on this one. Maybe it is only my old ears...
Nice crom sound and some nice melody lines and some of your best playing. Maybe your are a cromatic man?
Well done. Liked especially the solo starting at about 3:00.
The engine started a bit slowly, but you got it working after 0:30 and from there to the end.
Good job on the overblows and such. Just as a reminder, when a b-track has been removed, you are not to use it without requesting it be reposted by the author and it being reposted.
Trippy fun stuff HB's.
Killer! Maybe I do not try to do this one, if I want to do something else in my life too. Excellent.
Way to keep up with this on FL. Goede!
Ah, there's the answer Hank. There are NO LIMITS when it comes to creativity LOL
Black movie soundtrack. Who said that before? Anyway, good blend, overblow a bit rough but, overall, good creative one!
far out bt and harp play - you keep stretching the limits Dennis!! - nice!!!
whoa!!!! - TB, slaps, chords and all - nice tone outta that rig - riffs flow nicely and 2:40 triplets really work - good one MIke!! - another dimension for you!!!
full package with nice chrom tone and great vocals/lyrics - very well done!!
very nicely done Ron - sweet tone and attacks gave it punch - swinging work on that chrom!!!
very amp like tone at start- nice rhythmic patterns and articulation - good one!!
Heavy stuff for both harmonica player and listener. Very cool and very good!!!!
Swell job. I always enjoy your vibrato and now you've added the chrome to the mix with some interesting jazz licks.
Nothing wrong with hanging with the boys. Harp player was more than just fine but the recording or the mixing left something to be desired. Could have carried a little softer tone IMHO.
What I like is your ability to make it sound like your talking to me. You produce a great sound either acoustic or amped.
Definitely hard to find the mood let alone to express it with your your trumpet.
Defintely "Far Side of the Moon" stuff.
This is right up your alley. Sounds perfectly fine to me. I must be missing something. If you can keep up the pace as you did for 4 minutes you can stay with anything they throw at you!
Sounds like fun if you can do it but I can't even think that fast. You went right with the theme!
That's a long Bt to solo to but you obviously have a lot of tricks in your nations sack!
I am able to get a completey leak free seal when I want to. The Mixer (preamp) is definitely over driven.
You did him justice with this cut. This must have been cupped very tight to get that tone. I am going to have to try this one. Hot jazz.
Nice rythmic chugging with some interesting licks thrown in to spice it up. Really liked what you did about 60% of the way threw the tune very controled and full toned playing.
Great playing and singing. You have a nice voice. Full bodied tone on the harp.
Very nice jazz licks on the Chromatic. Very tastefully played. Good double stops, chords and octaves. Worked well with the band. I am going to try and copy some of your licks.
Nice catchy jump tune. Well done. Nice tone, sounds like an amp. Cool.
Funky and frosty. Nice different runs and some cool chording stuff Veijo.
