Cronins Hornpipe on D harmonica, sorry...G, harmonica.

[HectorAwol]

Very nice!

[iantheo1]

as a break from blues I too like playing jigs etc and have this tune as one to practice.Sounds great and never mind the negative comments. The road to lisdoonvarna is a good one that I have mastered among others as also play on old button accordion [in G ] as well as lots of Aussie folk tunes .Have the printed version so will give this one a go. thanks for sharing. Ian.

Why don't you ask before you comment...I CAN'T READ MUSIC........can't remember what I was looking at...

And you play an instrument......so what's your problem?....leave the comments out and get back to playing.

[theloveboxquartet]

Hi Mate,

Yes...you're absolutely correct....it's played on a G harmonica, not D.

Cheers.

[shasskeenfavourite]

Superb, a real master, I thought Sonnys mazurka was great too,, .will be listening out for more.....well done from a fiddle player (sort of)

[theloveboxquartet]

Hi mate,

I've got loads of other harmonica videos on theloveboxquartet2 if you fancy a gander.

Cheers,

Joel.

[diaton]

superbe

[guitarharpman]

Do you need a special harmonica setup to get this syle? Great playing

[theloveboxquartet]

Hi,

I use totally standard harps in Richter tuning as they come out of the box. The whole mouth and tongue chording technique is the harder part, especially if you have already learnt single-note style, but if you can play a tune out of the right corner of your mouth, you will be some way there.

Cheers for comment,

joel.

[guitarharpman]

Thanks Joel,

I play a lot of blues on the harp, I can tongue block and that, I am going to learn some reels

[theloveboxquartet]

Nice one.

Reels are great when slowed down and grooved with a 2/4 reggae drumbeat.

Try Michael McGoldricks' album 'Fused'

It's Irish flute but it gives you the idea.

Try learning some of the tunes and play along.

Cheers,

Joel.

[gbdre]

very nice! this is the sound that I am trying to do. I can't quite seemm to get it yet. Are they any artist that you would recommend for me to look into for a little help?

[theloveboxquartet]

Cheers for comments......

There aren't many people in the world playing in my style, most play single note stuff....i.e. Brendan Power. There are some old or dead players you may find recordings of...i.e. Tommy Basker or the Murphy Family (Phil, John and Pip) Rick Epping is worth seeing, as is Steve Shaw from Cornwall in the UK.

Other than that...watch this space!

[SteveShaw1951]

Hello mate! Thanks for the mention. I love your style of playing, which I can't even begin to emulate as I don't tongue-block! Brilliant stuff!

Cheers

Steve Shaw

[theloveboxquartet]

Hello again,

there is an Irish guy named Scully who has a tuition tape(CD) and book for learning the style with tongueing and although it's a bit geared towards tremolo harmonica, as I remember, there are still some great tunes. Hobgoblin will probably do it online.

Cheers,

P.S I have loads more tune out-takes on theloveboxquartet2

[theloveboxquartet]

Or listen to loads of concertina players.

Cheers.
