  • Hey Richard, are you playing any of the overblows or is it all using the bends?

    Thanks for uploading!

  • @LongingCirkel

    No overblows! I have found that overblows are easier to do on this harp, cause they tend to follow a draw note in the same hole for most of the licks that I play.... so I am not hitting them "cold" This harp makes me want to find more time to practice.....

  • Brendan tuned it, and I worked on it as well...

  • I want to buy a good one and get used to it! If it sounds cheap or crappy I will be disappointed and feel like it is my fault and get discouraged. I set my mind to something and will see it through. I just don't want to deal with negative stuff if I can "head it off at the pass!" LOL!

    I would appreciate any help especially in the beginning of my career;) My goal is to play and play well in front of an audience by August! About six mo! I will record from my first attempt, progress and to goal!:)

  • So... your harmonica (someone got offended when I called theirs that and said "it is a mouth harp!" What the heck IS the difference? Thanks) has been "modified by two people? Why? What is the benefit? Why can't people just buy them like that? Can people "modify" their own in the same way?

    "Someday" is here and I am done wasting time not knowing how to play! I am just getting started. Any advice as to which one/s to buy? Brand? Key/s? I don't want to have to keep "buying up" and wasting money:)

  • So, you are Mr. Richard Sleigh. Cool. Nice work. Congratulations. Heard about you from Jason Ricci. Your Harmonicas sound really good. Nice playing in this vid. I also play a bit, I own a Marine Band Low F. Cheers.

  • Great sound.i also have Brandans Power bender. I really enjoy playing it.Draw notes are easy to bend.

    Good harp to have.

  • muy bueno el video amigo! un abrazo desde argentina!

  • sick!!

    

  • ccoolll 

  • Regarding chords -- those middle octave chords sound great when playing the intro to choo choo ch-boogie in second position. You get the sixths and everything. Very nice demo of that capaibility here by the way

  • I was pondering to buy a C harp because I bought E by mistake since I was thinking about guitars, but after seeing this I think I'l stick to it. can't bend though, still haven't figured it out. any kind of hint about getting to do the trick right? I've seen things explaining but none has made any results yet. thnx

  •  SWEET
