Kaleena, great job on this rendition! Another Arkansas native also played "Orange Blossom Special" with a harmonica: Johnny Cash, but he also sang its lyrics.
I just want to say congratulations to this girl! I know where she is coming from . I was about the same age when I was trying to accomplish that song. She definitely is doing some of the Charlie McCoy riffs which take time to achieve.. Keep on Harpin". You are doing excellent!!! I am like 63 now and I am now doing his licks on the fast version.. u will get there a lot sooner than me.. take care!
Kaleena, I remember when your "William Tell Overture" video appeared on CBS' "The Early Show." You blew me away back then, and you're still blowing me away now! Keep those videos coming...all the very best to you!
Sorry, Najee, but I don't have the harmonica tab. I learned the song from listening to Charlie McCoy's version and trying to imitate the sound. I'm using F and Bb Hohner Special 20 harmonicas. Hope this helps a bit!
Wow, that was fantastic. I've been learning the harp for about 18 months and not getting too far. You have inspired me to keep going. Thank you - Sam from outback Australia
Great job, Kaleena! I just discovered your RU-vid page today. You have turned into a brilliant player! You really got the technique down to play quickly,fluidly, and effortlessly.You sound fantastic and I can't wait until you put out a CD! Looking forward to playing music with you at SPAH!! Again...great work!
Great job! 5/5 Stars. I want to hear you, Charlie McCoy, and Mike Stevens all harp this out with several good fiddlers and a couple banjos. That would be a real awesome bluegrass stage.
I can not believe you are playing like that, I have been playing for a while and I can;t touch that, where did you learn that.? You are doing very good thanks,
Very good Kaleena! I wish I was that good at 16! One hint that you might try. On the pre-chorus, where you go to two harps, I noticed you go from F blow to Bb blow to F draw and then to F blow. You can also go from Bb draw to Bb blow, change harps and go to F draw and finally F blow. It'll give you 2 draw chords instead of just one. It'll give you more air plus draw chords sound more meaty. Love your work! Keep on harpin'
o.k. ok. menina !! voce toca muito bem, Orange Blossom é super complicado. e voce vae otimamente bem na harmonica. eu até agora não consegui tocar esta musica mass um dia eu chego lá .
Wow, I didn't think you would be this good. I'm very impressed. How did you get the bending note sound without cupping one hand over the back of the harp?
@kymojo1 Thank you! I have a new channel now called kaleena2009. I haven't posted many videos on it yet, but there will be more soon! Thanks for listening!
Outstanding. play over and over. 24 seconds into this you do a little jam. can not get the breathing pattern. any hint on this?. take care.....,your very good
