  • Thanks for the star.

  • Great Jason!!! hey, on overblows does your harp have to be set up for that or can it be done with a harp out of the box?

  • I agree with Daddy Rich! I recorded three albums with tons of overblows and over draws on Golden Melody harmonicas with only the reed gaps tightened a hair!

  • Smoking is an addiction. Very difficult to quit. I smoked for 30 years and tried to quit for 29 before I was successful. You have a choice whether to act with class and empathy towards someone who contributes much of his time and effort teaching other people. Instead you resort to insults and vulgar language to show your disapproval. At some point Jason Ricci will kick his addiction. You however sir, will always be an asshole.

  • Nice dude! Good to see a harmonica enthusiast! Its a great instrument and hard to find a good player.

  • dude-

    i'm new to the overblow thing--like, 15 minutes new. i just followed your instructions for cleaning (with purple kaboom), and when i put my harp back together it was playing funny. i loosened a screw or two, tightened a screw or two, got everything back playing and all of a sudden I've got the 6 overblow. it sort of comes in and out, and sounds like it's going to explode in between the blow and overblow, but... But it's only on the 6. What's my next step?

  • great lesson! Thanks Jason! You're the man, did you ever end up playing with Nick Moss, like you mentioned in the vid? I met him through Gerry Hundt at a local Tuesday blues jam. Great players that would let me sit in on harp. Anyway, thanks! I notice this comment thread to be way off the subject of Harmonica playing, You are a smokin' player! No pun intended! Cheers! Bryan

  • It is a step in anyones "addiction" to have something or someone that we ENJOY. Whether it's good for us or not...And SOME people have a hard time realizing that these things have control. I'm glad you "quit" as you have said :) But someday you will need to come to the conclusion that it is you, and not the other person who's problems that you must face up to ;) Cigarettes cost over $50 a carton here in Iowa. I smoked a carton a week....
