Hi Paul.

Great stuff man. Let me ask something. Are you using a marine band out of the box or a custom harp???

thanks and you sound freaking good man!

@plecplec12 Hi Thanks for the compliment....I just use Marine Bands straight from the box ....no need to customise , the sound is all mine .

closest so far! is that a little walter thing in there too?

[paullambmusic]

@Jehoshephat hanks forthe compliment. Yes Little Walter is there also, just the way I kind of mix things up in my own style.

[srvvaughan93]

what type of harp do you use? and the tone? thanks a lot

[paullambmusic]

@srvvaughan93 mainly Hohner marine bands & their Chromatics

I used to think only Sonny Terry could sound like that.

@zembelo1 Hi yes , I was Bravado with another guy called Paul Riordan . It was a hit for us a long time ago with the Peter Waterman record label ....... maybe time for a new one?!

[zembelo1]

In my opinion you are the best harmonica player alive today... Thanks for being on Youtube. Did you have anything to do with the song Harmonica Man by Bravado?

Hey Paul, thank you so much for giving your knowledge to other sonny terry fans. Could you give me an advise how to get this sound on 0:20, 0:25 and 1:33? Is it tongueslapping or warbling or a mixture of techniques? Another fast und famous lick is at 0:38 and 1:02 which is hard to get. Could you make a 'how to' video for this ones? Your Sonny Terry videos are giving youtube that little extra kick, thanks for that
