I can't believe you can play this on a harmonica. The breath, the speed, the power of your tongue and dexterity of your fingers. Is it possible? Last week I would have said no, and now that the proof is right in front of me. I am in awe. Mr. He, you truly are a GOD among insects. Now do it with 4 harmonicas please.

@otakueric My good friend Jia Yi is a great player...not a doubt. However the real purpose of 3 or 4 harmonicas is to facilitate playing diatonic scales in a variety of keys. Since "Bumblebee" is extremely chromatic, multiiple harmonicas would not make playing it any easier...best to stick with the button!

@AirChina23 yes, this is an amazing performance, but i do not agree that AGT chose the wrong harmonica player. i would prefer harmonica pierre. this is my opinion so dont hate on me

Phenomenal. I was about to jokingly say, "Yeah, but let's see him play 'Oh Sussanna'" and then I got pwned at the 2:58 mark.
