The best in the world???? Lacks a theme and overall control. Let the playing speak for itself and the world will be the judge of that. The title just shows how successful false advertsing can be. 666,205 suckers and counting.
In the immortal sentiments (though probably not word for word as they spoke) of Freddy King discussing a certain white blues guitarist with Albert King. "...too many notes, man". "Yeah, not enough FEELIN for the blues"
Son, Your playing brought tears to my eyes.... because I'm a music lover and a harmonica player. Best in the world ??? I wouldn't even call you the worst, because you're not that good. Give that harp to someone who can use it, you shouldn't even be allowed to play the radio. For a moment there I almost wished I was deaf.
There is nothing new here that hasn't been covered a thousand times by Charlie McCoy and Terry McMillan...really best in his world perhaps. While it is certainly good playing the hubris involved in saying best in the world is just silly...
"The Best", huh... That ALWAYS set someone up for failure. He's not bad, but he's limited. Listen to the really good players, like Paul Delay, Walter Horton, Little Walter, Howard Levy, Little Sonny, Carlos del Junco, David Burgin, Jerry Portnoy.... Listen to del Junco's "B Thing", or Walter Horton on "Evening Sun", or "Walkin By Myself", or Norton Buffalo playing anything! NO competition.
A good harmonica player but not the best. Want to see the best? Look up Jim Hughes, Philip Achille, or Buddy Greene. Those three guys are some of the best Harmonica players you'll see or hear in this lifetime.
@Vodichka9 Agreed. Buddy Greene is pretty awesome as is Philip Acchille and his mentor, Jim Hughes. Sadly, there aren't many videos on Jim but he's got several recording under then name James Hughes and appears on a number of Classical albums. Oh and I just discovered John Popper thanks to another person who commented to me about harmonica players. He's pretty rad too!
playing harmonica fast is better? nothing like the lowdown blues harmonica, that's talent! and feelling. Not this! (good player, but not the best in the world)
What makes him 'the worlds best' harmonica player? I play different from him and IMHO a lot better, so I should feel slighted, no? Everybody's entitled to opine, but be realistic. I know dozens, no hundreds that are way better than him
im a beginner and want to know when you have the harmonica in your mouth while your playing it, are you meant to have your bottom and top teeth apart/open or teeth shut/biting down. And if they are meant to be open how far apart should they be?
Maybe it should say "one of the faster harmonica players in the world" but "Best" is way off the mark. Go listen to Marc Ford, Kim Wilson, Sugar Blue...just to name a few. Fast does not equal Best.
IDK - I got "the harmonica player in the world" part - and after watching it a couple of times, still don't know what the "best" refers to...sorry, i just don't understand... :(
Best in the world? Only thing he´s got is speed. muppet. my five year old doughter have more feeling and soul then him, and she´s only been playing for 1 year
Hey Monkey Man the Dude rocks, and I'd love to see your playing with musicality, dynamic range, phrasing, variation, and tact, then I would say no way bro You don't.
O..m..g.. Talent!

It's called a harmonica for a reason (harmony), alone it gets very tiresome to listen to.
It's like playing the bagpipe well: yes, it's consonant but I don't want it to go on for more than 45 seconds.
Save the heavy solo stuff for the melodica.
