[fathertedsmate]

[hawaiidoves]

Great jamming!

[MrSonday]

[jackmaya]

I cried at 1:56...

[massivebonanza]

great tone. thanks for the upload

[zepelindeplomo]

I'd like to play blues or something like this.

I'd like to play songs like "Keep on chooglin'" by Creedence or "Nobody's fault but mine", Led Zeppelin version.

What kind of harp do you recomend me?

Greetings from Mexico. NICE JOB DEAR.

[garyq86]

Absolutely amazing!!Thank you

[lecorriveaux]

I don't care if you smother babies in your spare time, whether you are a woman or a man, a sinner or a saint. You are the Queen of the Harp.

[elchupacabre001]

im impressed, thank you

[0GEMAB0]

why post negative comments ... if you dont like just dont watch ......great stuff christ ...:))

[teleeeecaster]

Your smile at the end was ohh so apropoit

[PacificHarp]

Christelle...fabulous...thanks for jammin'...I love the harmonica. I love your sound. Thanks again.

[rockstargh]

ok took me a while to get my head around this type of playing...

and then POW! I understood! Great stuff!

[baldboychad]

Gorgeous stuff

[wahdadahi]

Absolutely mesmerizing, you are awesome! Don't take any shit off these people, you blow your little heart out. A lot of haters out there...Fuck them!

[algebromusic]

its ALL sick and awesome but the little run at the end kills me.

[MrJoerizo]

How did you getin the reverb? Edit audio On the video?

[k00gan]

Ça ressemble à la ligne de basse de « Six blade knife » de Dire Straits...

[freezazoid]

hmmmm. Why is blues "expression" type harmonica playing always so annoying to me? It's sounds very primitive and bizarre where as stevie wonder type playing sounds really nice. Listening to this again is like pulling teeth to me. But props on many hours of practice to sound like that I guess.

[christellester]

@freezazoid

you've no idea of what you're talking about : 1) Stevie Wonder plays chromatic, I play diatonic. 2) if you don't like what I do don't watch 3) you've got nothing to show, and you have NOT the 5 million view in 2 years that I've got...To the haters like you I want to sing the Lily Allen song " Fuck you fuck you very very muuuuuuccchhh

[bobbymcgeetube]

@christellester HAHAHA tu es rageuse toute seule, il faut savoir accepter les critiques ma grande !

[BedBugAcres]

@freezazoid Because you're a cretin? Just my guess! I play the harmonica, don't play the blues, but love to swing by to listen to blues harmonica sites to remind myself how much more the instrument can do than any one artist can! And this is some nice blues playing.

[Gregparkerblues]

@freezazoid There is no better harmonica player than this girl,in my opinion.I could listen to this all day.You are in a minority,but entitled to 'your taste'. If Stevie Wonder,himself.saw this,he would be greatly impressed,in my opinion.'Pulling teeth'...what are you...a dentist ?? Sorry to completely disagree,Greg.

[Merkel2010]

fantastica !!!

[BluesDfender]

That´s feeling!

[MrJdelaverriere]

YOU REALLY GOT IT!!!

I did lost fate in Harmonica, (Not the god shit)

But Now I regain fate

Thank yo

JJ dlV

[MississippiSoak]

You have a big blue voice in your soul!! i'm felling good whit your harp and my mind fly hig!!!

complimenti!(sorry for my english)

[romitjoyful]

awsome composition :)

[ARBANAT]

nice!!!!



[Teme00010]

You're awesome....

[bamboosa]

@DrabusBlue - All I'm saying is that I've seen Louis bring the house down, one night at a little bar in North Hollywood Louis transcended time and space in a way that reminded me of Hendrix, who I saw in 1970. I'm sure your faves have had transcendent nights, also. Sheesh.

[bamboosa]

How about, "Christelle Berthon is the Christelle Berthon of harmonica and Jason Ricci is the Jason Ricci of harmonica" because I have met the Jimi Hendrix of Harmonica and he will never be on u-tube and you have never heard of him. I don't even know if he is still alive. His name is Louis Lista. See? You have never heard of him.

[christellester]

@bamboosa If you're refering to what I've said something like more than a year ago about Jason, that was just to answer this person who was saying that I was playing like Jimi Hendrix, I've never tried to play like Jimi Hendrix so far (I'm not technically good enough to do so), I don't think Jason is trying too I was saying that if there's a comparison, Jason is the closest to this guitar player, technically and in his innovations.

[hickstylez]

@christellester u definently dont need to defend your self I've been gettin stoned and playing harmonica for 10 years now and I SUUCK lol but this is amazing im downloading to burn so i can bump in my car!

[DrabusBlue]

@bamboosa Louis Lista is no Hendrix. And he is on youtube. You can find him by searching for the Outer City All-Stars. He is an ok player but he is not a great player. There are many players that are better qualified to be compared to Hendrix. H.Levy, B.Powers, A.Gussow, J.Ricci, and Queen Berthon are just a few. Christelle has it right when she says J.Ricci is as close to a Hendrix as the modern day harmonica community has to offer. Cheers Christelle, Keep up the great work

[studios696]

@bamboosa It's just a reference stating her opinion, a damn good opinion at that. No reason to get all butt hurt bout it. Jason Ricci is down righ chill dude with amazing skills. As Adam Gussow said one of the best in his generation. Kinda like Jimi was...

[berrypossum]

@bamboosa Louie Lista is alive ( I think), and still playing. I posted a few gigs up here.

[massarde9591]

you are good!!!!

if my girlfriend played like u i wast left her...lol

[Mylesfromnowhere]

....I think I love u....

[Tompey2009]

Love your videos. Particularly the ones where you play while driving. :)

[LameBuffalo]

Very nice, very good. I like to see that harp players like Jason Ricci enjoy, appreciate your talent and also take the time to tell you in a public way, such as this one.

Bravo. Tiens toi bien,

LameBuffalo in Occupied Canada 2010

[maverick2thecore]

Awe-some ! genuine talent ....

[falco566]

You moved me there. Kudos. I give u 10 bucks now

[dirkdebekker]

yeah you've got the groove!

[MonkeyManBlues]

Nice job on the chromatic run. That's tough stuff to make sound as smooth as you do. Unreal

[MrDzhimbo]

Beautiful playing, Christelle, really soulful.

[WSGZM]

Das ist ger Hammer

besser gehts nicht

[BoriwoyBgd]

You are a real refreshment! Greetings from fingerpicking master from Serbia!

[leo20041995]

Hello! Is yours the 1847? How about the SUZUKI's Sanji. The question is the brand for a beginner. Please say your advice.

[christellester]

@leo20041995 Hi I used to play the 1847, I still consider them great harmonicas, BUT I prefer the Suzuki Manji for their sound and my type of play

[legopoof]

Wow. Even those first 3 notes sounded good. How do you get that tone?

[Warsel]

gosh, that thing sounds awesome. great work!

[caracho1980]

Really great playing!

[Tazzy1967]

3 WORDS ....In fucking credible!!!

Love it.

[Yakilli]

My first thought was . wow wahta pretty girl with a harmonica. but after that video. ............This is it baby, Yeah....I love that stuff......;->........

[gabrielegreicy]

[uluscha]

[martafree1994]

wons the harmonicaaa!! you play veeery very veryyyyy GOOD!!

[fattrucker01]

guys gotta turn everything into a swordfight, they see a chick who can play like this they don't know how to act. i keep noticing your simple surroundings, you're not a flashy person, you are just good.

[hedler30]

muito bom

[mariosaldanar]

Pa'su mare. ¡¡Exccceleeeennnnnte!! Un poquito más y esa bendita harmónica habla, no se qué; pero habla.

Aqui en Perú me tienes admirandote.

[hillspring13]

Incredible emotion, technical control and that CB signature *tone* that is so amazing! Totally agree with comment below about duet (NB not "duel") with Jason Ricci, but also totally fail to understand why comments about C's private life repeatedly surface in what should be a music medium. Salut du l'UK.

[Goatboy44spl]

Wow this is great. What feeling!

[BluesmanDizzy]

Incredible!!!

[kevincanwait]

where's your girlfriend...that was a hot kiss you showed the world...I forget which posting it was... but!!...woah! The world needs more shock therapy!...shock the straights into reality. They are a sick bunch of uptight judgmental hypocrits.

You have my blessings, dearest. And you play a mean harp, too.

[BlackOak51]

absolutely wonderful!!!! Will I ever learn to play like this??????

[benjaminosis]

So very nice!!!

[carredonga]

are playing or is just a record?

[realbudgiesmuggler]

You Babe are genuine masterclass

Would love to see you duel it out with Jason Ricci

Absolutely one for the girls your unbeleivable

[bixntram]

My new two favorite harp players: Howard Levy and yourself. Most of the others, even the 'big names,' are just boring (I'm a trumpet player, now playing harp as a second instrument after many years away from it).

[Gollwi]

ich hab gänsehaut ^^

[famago020582]

genia

[AMB1948]

Beautiful...

[InBy9OutBy5]

Unbelieveable. Amazing.

[juany83]

what a vibrato, i´m stunned... wow

great, keep rocking!

[stephanepearson]

Je suis à terre! Je joue de l'harmonica depuis près de trente ans et je suis NUL comparé à toi!

[HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

i almost cried! you can wail like nobody on earth!!

[raketmaan]

Wow, Very inspiring.

Can i ask if you did any customizations to your harp?

[fuglygurlie]

your talent leaves me speechless, breathless and inspired. simply beautiful.

[rosslovespauline]

as per usual,fantastic!!!!!!

[tommytommy77]

Hi Christellester,

just one question: can you do

the man with harmonica by Ennio Morricone?

[daviemcf]

LOVE IT!!!!!!

[mayheusewell]

Coucou Christelle, A chaque jour sa surprise, encore bravo pour cette impro. Tu fais vraiment partie des meilleurs!

[JCHARMO]

je suis convincue que les seedel harmonica ont le meilleur son,je n'achéte que des seedel ahora. bisous christ.

[DiskoLades]

super!!!

[MasterDong88]

"It makes alot of 'SODDING' difference that

she's a woman you silly amateur...because the Instrument she has choosen 2 play is 'mostly' associated

with 'Males' from a mostly Blues background ! And the fact that she has mastered it-in a variety of musical styles

including 'the Blues' - makes her very Unique indeed in the World of Harmonica

playing! Do You Understand now 'yapperlittle' ? "Now SODDING Fuckoff and go fart your comments somewhere else !  Silly fartbag !

[yapperlittle]

hey bozo... (thought I'd use another word you probably don't like)

could you be more of a spaz? (get that... another one! of course both of those are American as well so maybe they don't bug you as much.)

I'm British yes, I'm Scottish, and I will bloody chuffing well use the language I want to use on here!

Now, I don't really care about "soccer" fans or your physical relationships with them so please, don't leave me another message in my inbox about them.

[MasterDong88]

Fuckoff Yapperlittle you silly silly English POm! Take your skinny little arse and jump into the Thames river you stupid pommy fool !

[yapperlittle]

see now, there was the difference, I bothered to read your post. I told you, I'm not English. Stick with the pom comment if you like but hell, get your facts right, I'm not skinny, but if i were to walk to the Thames I would be by the time I got there.

So, if you're quite finished. Otherwise, you might want to message my inbox rather than us spamming this good video.

[pistolpete759]

after hearing this i have to pick up the harp! super duper!

[yellowstallion2]

superb as ever - I only wish I could play 1/10th as good as you. Thanks for the inspiration

[harpcraze]

Whaouh!

Chapeau bas Christelle.

C'est beau, c'est plein d'expression et c'est magnifiquement joué.

Christophe

[leftofcentre11]

Amazing Christelle! Just amazing

[jasonricci]

Nice Playing girl!

[christellester]

LOL Thanks a lot Jason, I'm touched you like it...

[strawwoodclaw]

wowie zowie i felt that one

[dylansdisciple1]

UNBELIEVABLE ! Hard to believe a Girl's

playing this. Thank you so much for posting Christelle. You would make alot of Money Touring the USA. The WORLD !

[harpnut]

Christelle is toally awesome but your a asshole because nobody care that she is a girl. I'm watching this for like the 5th time and your comment destroyed it for me.

[dylansdisciple1]

"harpnut"...You sound like a MORON who

has never bothered to learn the English language properly. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH ???? I dont think you do, so you should get the fuck off

Youtube AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND

LEARN ENGLISH PROPERLY BEFORE YOU MAKE A COMMENT ! I never mentioned anything about Christelle being a bad harmonica player at all. Your

understanding of English is at the level of

a 3 year old - so get your arse back to school and learn the language in depth !

"IDIOT".

[harpnut]

englih is my three langage and so I think like I know and you have been saying to ever one that christelle stinks. your a ass and you need to get a brain you moran!!!

[Bostonmoejo]

harpnut? shouldn't that be "nutcase?" Your english isn't the problem..that fact that you've stopped taking your meds seems to be the problem...GO AWAY..there are plenty of forums for haters and morons..go find one (and an anger mgmt class probably wouldn't hurt either) Have a great day!!!

[dylansdisciple1]

'Moron" - (harpnut )GO BACK TO SCHOOL

AND LEARN HOW TO SPELL ENGLISH WORDS. I've never heard of "englih"or "langage"or "moran".

So if -'englih is your three langage', then -

'Baboon' and 'Monkey' must be the other two "langage" that you 'Oooga Oooga Oooga Oooga' !

[harpnut]

puts it in your asshole and shove it in your butt. Why r u hacking on me? Your the one who said christelle is good for a woman and then you tell everybody on the net that you say she is not good player.

[squrrle]

hey..dylansdiciple1......shut your fucking asshole of a fucking mouth and leave this kind people alone..they are hear to enjoy this Woman's beautiful music..not your fagot ass comments..so piss the fuck off and die. send me all the hate mail you want..i could care less..so what if this guy cant speak English very well...at least he has several languages he can speak...so please go die alone in your tiny fagot apartment masturbating to your fitness for men magazine

[dylansdisciple1]

"Squrrle"...You must have got your arsehole Raped by some Giant Russian

weightlifters. CAN YOU SHOVE A DOZEN

HARMONICA'S UP YOUR ARSEHOLE AND BLOW A TUNE ON THEM FOR EVERYONE ON YOUTUBE.

And don't forget to lick them all Clean when you finish. OK  Cretin?

GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THE BLOWING.

You sound like an excellent Blower.

[yapperlittle]

what sodding difference did it make that she's a woman??

[MasterDong88]

You must be from Britain - 'yapperlittle'.

Only a 'Pom' or some other Brit would use

that unique term - 'sodding'. Actually made

me laugh when I saw it cos' I smashed a

couple of English (3 actually) Soccer hooligans over when I went to the assistance of a 'rival soccer club fan' they

were assaulting last year when I was holidaying in Manchester! "Sodding Fuckoff you ugly gorrilla" one of them yelled at me-moments before an ambulance took them to hospital. I THINK

U SHOULD SODDING F-OFF2

[metalmarkholland]
