Wow, I didn't think you would be this good. I'm very impressed. How did you get the bending note sound without cupping one hand over the back of the harp?
Very good Kaleena! I wish I was that good at 16! One hint that you might try. On the pre-chorus, where you go to two harps, I noticed you go from F blow to Bb blow to F draw and then to F blow. You can also go from Bb draw to Bb blow, change harps and go to F draw and finally F blow. It'll give you 2 draw chords instead of just one. It'll give you more air plus draw chords sound more meaty.
o.k. ok. menina !! voce toca muito bem, Orange Blossom é super complicado. e voce vae otimamente bem na harmonica. eu até agora não consegui tocar esta musica mass um dia eu chego lá .
Wow, that was fantastic. I've been learning the harp for about 18 months and not getting too far. You have inspired me to keep going. Thank you - Sam from outback Australia
Kaleena, I remember when your "William Tell Overture" video appeared on CBS' "The Early Show." You blew me away back then, and you're still blowing me away now! Keep those videos coming...all the very best to you!
I don't know how you play the fast parts so relaxed. Are you breathing in and out real fast? Kind of like panting? I get all cramped-up when I try that tune! Please tell me where I can get the backing tracks to OBS and William Tel Overture and backing tracts in general. I've played since I was 12 (I'm 60 now) and never got to your ability level. You are super! Any pointers on OBS fast parts would would be deeply appreciated. I keep trying because I love the sound of harps and chromatics.
all i can say is WOW im still in shock that was the best version of orange blossom special ive ever heard on harmonica! truly talented girl awesome awesome awesome! added to favorites:)
THANK you for your comment. I wish you many luck and success in music and health.Good musicians helps this world forwards with there talent and personality.
I did start playing as a baby, but I didn't really learn anything until I was nine years old. My parents are older, and very supportive of my harmonica playing.
That is great! Must say you play very well do you know were you can get the harmonica tabs for charlie mccoys orange blossom special? would realy appreciate if someone knows, thanks.
I'm sorry, I play by ear mostly. My version of Orange Blossom Special is a lot like Charlie's because I listened to his version over and over until I came up with something.
Great job, Kaleena! I just discovered your YouTube page today. You have turned into a brilliant player! You really got the technique down to play quickly,fluidly, and effortlessly.You sound fantastic and I can't wait until you put out a CD! Looking forward to playing music with you at SPAH!! Again...great work!
I actually just put out two new CDs. One is called "Stirrin' Up Dust" and it is a folk album, and the other is called "A Joyful Noise" and it is a gospel album. Both feature me on the harmonica as well as vocals. I can't wait for SPAH either! It's right around the corner!
Great job! 5/5 Stars. I want to hear you, Charlie McCoy, and Mike Stevens all harp this out with several good fiddlers and a couple banjos. That would be a real awesome bluegrass stage.
I like performing! I used to get really nervous, but the more I do it, the less nervous I become. I still get nervous sometimes, but I've noticed that I get more nervous performing for people I know or in front of small crowds than I do playing for big crowds of strangers.
Great job! Have you learned to blow octaves, yet? I'm pretty sure Charlie uses a lot of them in his version. If you want to sharpen your skills (which are already very impressive), try the youtube videos from Adam Gussow. Search on Gussow 001 . He's got over 100 lessons on line, and he's good: definitely for the advanced player.
I just learned it from listening to Charlie McCoy's version over and over. I added a little of my own, so that it wouldn't be exactly the same. I mostly play by ear, so most of the time I don't use tabs. You could probably find the music for this song somewhere, though.
Thank you, it's taken me awhile to get this song down, but it's my favorite song to play. I listened to Charlie McCoy's version over and over and then added some of my own things to it.
For whatever reason, there aren't that many female harmonica players. You play great and are only 16. Keep up the great work, we'll be waitin' for more. Thanks, EPB
better than Johjnny!!sounds more like charlie mccoy.Kaleena you must be 20 now,new vid's please!!

You are so very good. I wish I had started at your age. however I was so poor I couldn't buy a Harmonica.
I am cross harping in those keys too. May I ask one more question? The train rhythm --I can't follow. Are you drawing once and blowing twice?
jshelbyk 3 years ago
You draw in and say "Ducka" and when you blow out, you say "Shicka", and the "sh" when you blow sounds like a steam engine.
