Hello everyone, I just wanted to clarify a few details from the video: - *John Popper plays harmonica for Blues Traveler not the Bluesbreakers.* - *On "Miss You" by the Rolling Stones, it's Sugar Blue on harmonica.* - *One of the participants may have been thinking of the Harmonica Rascals, not the Harmonicats.* Hope this clears things up!
Bob Dylan???? These folk singers only used not played the harmonica. I play the chromatic harmonica professionally and most people don't even know or even have heard about it. The great players of the past played the chromatic harmonica--made it a real instrument-which it is. The little guy was with the Harmonica Rascals; not The Harmonicats. I've met many players through various Harmonicafests through the years including a SPAH that I was one of the headliners in Tulsa 2019. I was the lead player in the Harmonicateers. If you quizzed me-we'd be talking for hours. Such a beautiful instrument-such neglect and info. about it with the general public.
I was actually in Tulsa myself for SPAH 2019! It was such a great experience, and I completely agree with you about the chromatic harmonica-it’s an incredible instrument that deserves so much more recognition. It’s amazing how many people still don’t know about it, even with all the great players who have elevated it over the years.
Dylan! Neal Young! Ack. I'm glad the old guys remembered the greats. A quick fact check tells us Toots recorded Bluesette in 1962 or 1964. It's doubtful that dude was even alive then, much less a side man on the session. I wonder if he also suggested "Ornithology" to Bird? Finally, well done, Yvonnick, what an excellent way to meet cute girls 😉
I agree, this video does show why Dylan is such a legend! And you’re right!. There’s so much depth to the harmonica, especially with techniques and styles that go beyond just folk music.
Both men are unimpeachable trumpet kings, but if forced to choose I’m going with Roy. So much stank and straight from the heart soul in everything he played. Nick plays absolutely mind bending stuff (things that perhaps Roy couldn’t do, or at least didn’t attempt) and he can get bluesy in his own right but Roy just got that STANK in how he phrases. His blend of raw unfiltered blues/funk, pure bebop, and hints of post bop harmonic side slipping knocks me out everytime.
Bonjour, possédant un harmonica diatonique en C, je voudrais savoir quel est la meilleure tonalite pour jouer du blues rock et country avec le golden Melody nouveau.Dans l attente de votre réponse.Cordialement.A bientôt
