  • It's a close call but I think I like this 2nd version a little better. I think there's a little more use of arpeggios and vibratos, which are definitely a strength of yours.

    C'est un appel à proximité, mais je pense que j'aime cette 2ème version un peu mieux. Je pense qu'il ya un usage un peu plus d'arpèges et de vibratos, qui sont certainement une force de la vôtre.

  • @DesertRatDan

    Please stay with the english ;)

    In fact there's no arpeggios here (not even one of them)

  • I prefer your first Version. I like the parts with the higher notes you played in the first version. This version sounds unhappy and sad.

    Frank.

    Thanks for watching and giving your point of view...Personally I prefer the second version because yes my sound is better, it's a personal vision of this song, and the mood of the harmonica is exactly what the lyrics are saying....This is a very sad song

  • complimenti bravissima....

    

  • Yes, I go with the 2nd version, too.

  • j'apprends l'harmonica. les deux versions sont magnifiques. Comme c'est souvent le cas je préfère la première que je prends comme la version "originale".Néanmoins quel talent ! j'espère voir encore beaucoup de vidéos. Bravo.

  • Obie wersje są naprawdę niesamowite. Jeżeli miałabym wybrać jedną lepszą, to wybrałabym wersje numer dwa..:)

  • Christel, you are amazing. I have to say my first instinct was to say I preferred the 1st version. It's been on my personal playlist for a long time and I listen to it constantly. I love the way it sounds and I can hear it in my head when I'm not listening to the video. It is, by far, one of my all-time favorite videos.  However, I do like the second version, as well. I think I will listen to both videos, but I will listen to the version that fits my mood at the time of listening.

  • both. Perhaps, the 2nd it's much more near to the soul of text.

  • I very much prefer the second version (May 28, 2008). After spending hours transcribing it and hours upon hours practicing it note per note, I performed it in church and got a standing ovation. I gave you full credit for the arrangement. I don't know how much time you put into working out your arrangements, but they're all top-notch.

  • I prefer the second version too.

    Greatings
