What harp can I use without doing the adjustments that you made to yours. Thanks and very good job! My band wants to play this tune and I'm just a beginner on a harp so this is very helpful to me.

[HakanEhn]

If you want to play exactly like this you need to adjust it yourself because you can't buy this tuning. But I think you should try a harp with standard tuning, maybe the possibilities that harp gives you is just right for you. But in that case you will not be able to catch all important notes for this song unless you are able to play overblow in hole 6 very good. Another possiblity is to try an A harp in Natural Minor. That will not be exactly the same, but it will give you a more minor blues.

Your the best harp player i have heard on u tube keep up the good work you should be on tv

[HakanEhn]

@156dave

Thanks for your comments. It's only weird things on TV. Youtube is the place.

[bernied55]

Is it possible to get the backing track from somewhere?

[HakanEhn]

@bernied55

No backing track is not available. The best backing track, if you want to practice is probably any of the Doors versions on youtube.

[nilla003]

@HakanEhn Thank you for the reply.

[CoreyMorley94]

[StellarChi]

[guitar62751]

Awesome playing ! How long have you been playing the harp ?

I just bought an key of A harp at Guitar Center this week.

I'm trying to play this damn thing but it's tough to do.

[huicho99]

Excellent playing. Only, if I'm not mistaken, it wasn't Lee Oskar on the Doors track. It was actually John Sebastian from "Loving Spoonful". Like I said Excellent playing.

[deejaydavet]

SICK!!!! wish i could play like that!

[DMPFace]

Great job! VERY close to the original

[either785]

You can convert this or any youtube video to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[animeyska]

hey you were really playing the harmonica? if so pass me the notes of the song please

I like that song

[Normanskie]

I don't want to retract from your expertise but there is a problem from separating fact from fiction, you are playing the harp with background drumming session. If so you are doing a fantastic job.

[Vodichka9]

Do you have a band, do you tour, will you come to the US? Interesting how many Scandinavians love blues and are great players, going back to the 1960's-maybe earlier?

[virgilita]

One of the best harmonica players I have ever heard! Just watching this gives you the incentive to keep trying!

[hooplemott]

Ok, now I feel bad. Thought I was doin ok till I heard this man play! LOL

[myztainzydeout]

You have a rough sounding harp... mine sounds like an aye-aye mating call while your sounds like a rhino rushing down a mountain!
