Kennyboy's "Solo_1". .    lots of interesting ideas here - not sure where I sit on the tone - nice tremolo in spots and that 'beating' works well - solo work is tough and I think you've shown you've got it!!    --htrain

CrAzY hArP's "Bumper to Bumper Blues". .    Magnifico!!! We have another teenage prodigy in our midst. What an unbelievable debut. You been getting blood transfusions from Jason Ricci amigo?    --Brett

floppy lips's "Juniors Funky Blues". .    I once heard a very similar on a recording of Joe Satriani, where he played the harmonica and sang with distortion too ... very confortable!    --CrAzY hArP

Kennyboy's "Duct Tape". .    ohhhhh muy lindo! Delta Sound!    --CrAzY hArP

CrAzY hArP's "Bumper to Bumper Blues". .    Good stuff, and welcome on-board. Please feel free to introduce yourself in the Forum.    --Eric Stahl

CrAzY hArP's "Bumper to Bumper Blues". .    I Like it................    --P-J

BeelzeBob's "I Live Near Boston". .    Very nice sound. Good runs that really remind me of that butterfield style.    --Eryk Fisher

Mc7's "Solo_1". .    Good chug, good sound for SS, loose structure but developed a life of its own somehow. Good experiment and something to build on.    --BeelzeBob

Kennyboy's "Solo_1". .    A bit of a struggle with this one. I think it needed more of a foundation    --Eric Stahl

floppy lips's "Duct Tape". .    Best version I've heard yet. Great ending, too.    --BeelzeBob

floppy lips's "Juniors Funky Blues". .    Out-bloody-effing-standing! Gotta have my Floppy Fix! Spare playing brought your unique vibe to the front. It's like my liver and pancreas fighting over who gets broiled up for Jeffrey Dahmer in the afterlife.    --BeelzeBob

floppy lips's "Duct Tape". .    I'd like to hear you play something like this with a pure acoustic sound, and little/no electronic intervention    --Eric Stahl

Mc7's "Solo_1". .    Breathing through this little thang called a harp, is a gas!    --Eric Stahl

Kennyboy's "Duct Tape". .    Wow, dug it totally! A pleasure to listen to more than once.    --BeelzeBob

Berel Ives's "I Live Near Boston". .    You're working hard on the changes. When you're comfortable with that, listen to the beat of the drummer and try to play with it. Find the groove. Stick around and you'll get there.    --BeelzeBob

Eric Stahl's "I Live Near Boston". .    Bob, Thank your for your comments. I started with every intent of a straight forward acoustic rendition of the standard. Then from 00:18 on it was spur of the moment seat of the pants lets see how this sounds, which seemed appropriate for Open Mic ;-)    --Eric Stahl

Kennyboy's "Solo_1". .    Some nice riffs and turnarounds in this, but as to your goal of getting a sound, it is very thin. There's probably some effects in your software to fatten up your sound. I can hear the potential.    --BeelzeBob

BeelzeBob's "I Live Near Boston". .    Good upload. Solid tone, Started ala'Butterfield, and mixed the rest with your own    --Eric Stahl

Eric Stahl's "I Live Near Boston". .    Now this I can hear. It needs to tighten up, but the musical ideas are great and the tone is to die for. You've always had killer tone, even before the Fat Dog. I had problems with this BT, I think it's harder than it seems.    --BeelzeBob

Berel Ives's "Loopin with Lenny". .    You're working to hit the changes, that's a good start. In time, you'll play with more confidence and it will really show. Hang around here about a year and you'll get there.    --BeelzeBob

Eryk Fisher's "I Live Near Boston". .    Wow, if this were East-West instead of Born in Chicago, you'da outdone Butterfield! Pretty good overall, sounds like you have a unique angle on harp.    --BeelzeBob

Eric Stahl's "I Live Near Boston". .    I'm a big fan as you know, but I couldn't hear this one. The intro and outro and some turnarounds were fine, but the rhythm threw me. From 2:00, it sounded good. Mighta been me. Seriously.    --BeelzeBob

floppy lips's "Juniors Funky Blues". .    Where did you fine the vocals for this nice job    --Berel Ives

Eric Stahl's "I Live Near Boston". .    Wasn't lacking tone! Phat sound to it.    --Kennyboy

Eric Stahl's "I Live Near Boston". .    has mr. butterfield entered the room. nice stuff!!    --Eryk Fisher

Kennyboy's "Duct Tape". .    Great job Ken...Keep up the good work! :)    --Kennyboy

Eryk Fisher's "I Live Near Boston". .    Welcome to the Jam. In places there's almost a middle-eastern flavor to this one e.g. 00:25 to 0030, that would sound cool to further develop with the bt    --Eric Stahl

Berel Ives's "Loopin with Lenny". .    Welcome to the Jam. You picked a tough key of harp (short of a low-F), but kept a handle on it.    --Eric Stahl

Eryk Fisher's "I Live Near Boston". .    Well...I hate to cast my own vote. I'm just checking out the website, figuring out how things work.    --Eryk Fisher

Kennyboy's "Duct Tape". .    @Eric Stahl. "It was from not playing deeply from the gut." Thanks for the confirmation Eric. I have a harpist friend here in Indy who asked the same question. He gave me some "bending" exercises as a result.    --Kennyboy

floppy lips's "Juniors Funky Blues". .    I liked the combo of piano with your singing. Harp was icing on the cake    --Eric Stahl

Kennyboy's "Duct Tape". .    Welcome back Kenny. I like the places that you went with this. Not sure if spots like 2:11 to 2:13 were from briefly not playing deep enough from the gut, or a recording spike that clipped a little, or a little of both    --Eric Stahl

Berel Ives's "I Live Near Boston". .    Welcome to the Jam! Good start - clean notes, bends, chords. Keep working at familiarity with the harp. Carry and play it constantly, along with the music that you enjoy    --Eric Stahl

Berel Ives's "I Live Near Boston". .    Berel, I understand starting out. Work on your individual notes and put three to four note combos together. It's not just about inhale/exhale. Keep posting.    --Kennyboy

floppy lips's "Duct Tape". .    floppy lips, you have a very unique style all your own...and I like it. I like your sound, style and the off-beat way you put your package together.    --Kennyboy

Mc7's "Solo_1". .    I loved it! That Solo stayed "crunchy" even in Milk. I want to get my sound like that through this Audacity software and I see you have more than a mic plugged into the computer. But I digress...great job!    --Kennyboy

Eric Stahl's "Duct Tape". .    Good to be back guys! Eric I dug the wobble theme throughout and the journey the song took me on. I will have to go over to the Main Stage and hear the updated version.    --Kennyboy
