[droverboy1]

Sounds killer Chris!

Nice lesson thanks.

[Miehadtje]

Very interesting lesson!

At the end,, are you playing the RE10 right into a PA or amp? You don't seem to have much distortion on the sound, and I like it.

Hi, where can I get all this in writing in a book or at a website?

[angrykoopa]

2:00 - 2:27 is amazing...what position is that?

[chrismichalek]

sounds like 3rd position

[jarbasrs]

First of all, sorry for my english...

Which one is the best method for Chromatic Harmonica? What you sugest... I like to play Bossa Nova. Thank for your lessons!

[suzannahespie]

you should have a listen to the sonny boy williamson version.

[chrismichalek]

for what reason?

[bettifamily]

dam.. you play some hot first pos! not heard any that good before!

[baobazz]

very good sound, chris! ;-)

[tisenderbluesman]

Your are doing great in 3rd position! I also love to play in that position.

Thanks for the information. So my favorite effect is a fan then! Obviously it's largely organic. My best. d p.s. You purchased my H.G. and I purchased (from your purchaser) your POG.

[chrismichalek]

I made a vid on all of my effects last week.

In this video it's just me into my board via wireless with only the BOSS DM-2 activated and then into one of the original harpgear amps

[bigdennism]

Chris. Do you mind exposing your effect(s) on that video. I know it's not the purpose but there seems to be some subtle delay or reverb and here and there an added octave. It may all be your brilliant organic quality but if there is an effect it is wonderfully understated adding to the tonal quality. Thanks. d

[chrismichalek]

ya know, the ceiling fan is on too that might have added to the sound. I hear what you mean by the "octave" effect it seems to come out on certain notes. I think it's the ghosting effect people talk about with tube amps when they are overdriven. The harpgear is what? 5watts? I'm surprised it isn't blown up! LOL

[NewHarpGuy]

This is Great stuff, Chris!!! Just the kind of thing I have been looking for. I want to know this - do you have any recommendations as far as any text that would explain this?

I really like the 3rd position stuff. Great playing & great teaching!

Thank-you for sharing.

[chrismichalek]

texts that teach harmonica or modes (music theory)?

I'm getting set up to give private online lessons so that may be another option as well.

[NewHarpGuy]

Music theory - Thanks.

[chrismichalek]

The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine is a must have. You really don't need anything other than that book. Don't get his Jazz Piano book because it's almost the exact same thing but with less information.

Nice job, buddha. I am learning a lot from your instructional videos. I also liked the G harp best
