OK... I listened to Jon's version of People Get Ready. In the midst of the song, he did his "Train Whistle" (as he called it). There was a sound he produced there... like a vibratto, but I think it is something else. I hear this sound a lot with Chicago Blues toungue blockers. I was listening to "Blues...

Therefore the other holding technique tends to be easier for me(flattening my hand out and placing th...

Just kind of curious what everyone's "preferred" brand of harp to play is? As for The Giff, I'm currently playing Bushman Delta Frosts and absolutely love 'em. However, there is a small part of me that wants to try out a Suzuki Bluesmaster - just to see how they feel? Anyone currently play Bluesmas...

Anyone know what key Duane Eddy's "House of the Rising Sun" is in? Great song, wailing harp. It's off of the album "Duane Does Dylan" (even though it's not a Dylan song...) Thanks- nst

Third position often lays out more easily than 2nd position. It is much easier than 2nd oposition from hole 4 blow and above. Below hole 4, it is very important to bend the 3 draw and the 2 draw.
