Harmonica Blazing fastest ripping insane extreme

[simpleman6942]

i thought this song was on Bb

[legalizeshemp]

Micocube. Set on high gain. It's screaming when you don't play. The vox is just another mini amp with decent sounds.

[zoebonham]

hey

can you please tell me the amp you are using because it you say its a roland micro but then on another comment you say its a vox ?

I love the sound that you are getting and I'm tired of trying different guitar pedals to create this sound . And what settings are you using on the amp? as you have to have some effect on it ?

thanks

[threepointsix99]

two words..HOLY SHIT!!

[GhostsonAcid]

I can do that I just don't wanna.

[legalizeshemp]

Bushman harps are the best IMO, but the next best thing is a Hohner special 20.

[legalizeshemp]

Harp is in the key of "C"

[gebzere123]

what key is the harmonica in?

[earthlingPhil]

Love it. I'm new to the harmonica and my friends want me to go with them to do an open mic night and want to do this Zepplin tune. I can only hope to be a fraction as good as you. Love your playing, it just does not get old. Thanks for sharing.

[robbabaron]

NICE!!! Great job!

[koblen123]

You got so pumped watching you play this, fucking sick!

[harpdoodle]

Nice little video ........great sound....

[yimsters]

I love your style and soul, very few people can make a harp sing like you do.....Thanks for sharing ...

[Drachtauring]

Good stuff! 

[legalizeshemp]

Well one thing is to start with a "c" harp. Then get a Shure Green bullet mic. Then get a really overdriven tone. I LOVE the fender Champion 600. Once you get the fat compressed fuzzed out tone, you'll see how you can get notes to rush together and sound cool. I'll reveal one secret...I'm NOT breathing in & out a million miles an hour!

[Andybaby]

Jesus Christ. I've watched this like 50 times and it just never gets boring! I must learn how to do this - where do i start? I looked up Hohner 20 on ebay - what key should I get? I can already play guitar - how long will it take to playing something remotely as good as this?

[Andybaby]

I just listened to this 3 times in a row and it didnt get boring. Wow.

2:17 -2:23 wtf?!?! Insanity. Brilliant.

[VH5150VH]

Perfect! Such a feeling...

[BulldozerBilly]

Dude I want to get a harmonica so I can play this song!!!!!! What would you say I should get to play this song and be a good beginner harmonica? What key should I get and whats a good type???

[jjparro]

@BulldozerBilly i started with a c and find a book on how to learn the blues so you know how to bend a note and other tricks

[legalizeshemp]

Sorry, it was real. How could you fake it? Hire someone? FYI, the video and the sound are off slightly.

[paintballmaster1000]

FAKE!!!!!

[awesomelad666]

Freaking amazing man

[n1znk]

totally awesome

[IGuitarV2]

What key??

[ShowmetheBlues]

led zeppelin

even better than robert plant

[Xxmurrayman69xX]

hells yea man

[legalizeshemp]

Thanks for the responses everyone!

I would suggest you take a listen to one of the best harp guys alive today. Darrell Mansfield.

[pazzmanmusic]

really really truly great

[mejavina]

what key is your harmonica in?

[bEEarCUB]

Truly impressive.

[paintballer2630]

Were you able to bend like that with it right out of the box? or did u have to work with the reeds a little? thanks

[bubbs74055]

What key is your harp.

[BigJoeMoFo]

Dude - thanks for posting this. I have an 11 year old son who just started playing and I can't wait to show him your video.

[chimmister]

What mike n amp are ye usin'?

[legalizeshemp]

Shure 520 DX mic. The amp is a little 5 watt vox. I was just messin around here.

I get the best tone from a Fender Champion 600 reissue.

[chimmister]

Dude thank you sooo much, and you amazing man, you inspired me more than any harp playa I've seen.

[Cakid88]

I like your style. Its really intense.

[beanerlaroo]

holy fuck and a half

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE

woo woo

[chiefburningtree]

Man this is just f*cking awesome.

Two questions though:

1. Why is the title "ripping"? I'm new to the harp but haven't seen that term yet.

2. This one is probably a dumb question, but when you hold those high notes, are you doing a vibrato or are you just switching back and forth between holes really quickly?

Thanks man. This is definitely some great inspiration to mess around with it for the next 10 years.

[thumbcollector6]

I think he might be swishing is tung side to side.

[TheoBurke]

Reminds me of Jeff Beck; that's a good thing.

[alignment12]

G major

[RIFFRAFF15]

Very nice! What key is this in?

[MattJoyce]

you should definitely post a tips video for that tremolo effect, it sounds reallllly good. not just stutter-tongue tremolo fast either, it sounds really unique.

[legalizeshemp]

Off and on for 10 years.

[legalizeshemp]

My techniques are simple and cheap. The mic is a green bullet and the harp is a hohner special 20 or a bushman delta frost. I went to a Vox DA5 amp.

[cugemar420]

how long you been playing

[MattJoyce]

for the fast parts, are you using a basic tremolo tongue-blocking technique, or is it some really hard breathing pattern that... i won't be able to do? because it sounds awesome. hah.

[webwillie1]

KILLER!

[maestro48239]

bows down in awe...

[TheBurgerThing]

Quite good, the amp is very nice. It's really not THAT fast, but still very good.

[quinoacat]

TheBurgerThing, If you woulda listened at 56 seconds he got pretty fast there for a few and again at 1:45 for about 25 seconds he tore it up pretty fast again. I don't think you listened very close if you don't think it was some fast playing at several points, just as advertised in the title.

[drcranger]

fuckin great man!! ive been learnin the harp for a lil while now. but aint no where near that good. my lungs would collapse if i tried to play that fast!

[quinoacat]

I want the Microphone you are using. How much will you sell it for, lol. This is killer. Give us MORE please. Thanks. 5/5 Stars *****/*****

[bludrums]

Want a job?? your hired!!

[cc407]

What are the amp settings for this tune? I have a microcube on the way and wondered how it would handle harp.

[Andybaby]

devastatingly good!

Suddenly - I urgently want to buy a harmonica!!!! (what kind do i get!??!?!)

[maestro48239]

do what i did, buy a cheapie 1st, just to see if you like it, i got for 7.99 a cheap swan harp, a book and a CD on how to play...I myself play everyday, and have been doing so for 2 months now, im far from good, but i see the improvements. good luck!

[marketman88]

what kind of harmonica are you using?

[74maverick]

i like it man!! Keep it up. Where are you located?

[Mazblues]

what the? just copied the BLOW YOUR SPEAKERS video and renamed it...nice technique though!

[legalizeshemp]

Yeah, just trying to keep it alive. I've got some free time now and will make some new videos.
