Salute to you , dear. It requires 4 brains to  play like you. Thanks. Fantastic work

@ElizabethGS i'm not saying he's the best ever. i am saying he is very good for what he does. he is no bluesman, or anything but this guy is saying he has no melody. for Dylans songs, he plays harp pretty damn well.

@v0rk check out Brendan Power, James Conway - both have YouTubes of their harmonica playing available.

@ripthisjoint908 Dylan's still alive so don't talk about him in the past tense. He plays harmonica 'okay', but is in no way a 'fantastic' harmonica player. I gather you're a guitar player and don't seem to be exposed to the world of harp players. There are literally thousands of phenomenal harp players out there who could all leave Dylan in the dust. That's not to say that how he plays doesn't have its charms or fit his music. But 'fantastic'? Not quite.

Yeah, I tried this today, Epic Fail! Kinda like texting and riding a motorcycle while beating a monkey off your back.

@101rabit uh dude, bob was a fantastic harmonica player.

@chocolatedonut31 Bob Dylan only sucked & blow some random notes here & there, no melody. Dude, I'm sorry but this guy is continually harmonica melody & backing his harmonica with his guitar, he will be doing this with different tempos and genres of music for about 4 hours per gig, without singing a note, this really takes some doing. Concentration, no, dedication yes.

@101rabit First one? Ever heard of Bob Dylan?
