Hey it takes some guts to do that TylerLannan. Well done. I bought a webcam but it was so slow it was next to useless. One day I'll give it a go.
It was alright for a bit of freestyle improv but can't really comment further because there's nothing to compare it with. Your hand work was good (little bit of Jason Ricci thrown in there?). Hitting clean notes, had a bit of trouble when you went for the nine blow, it's hard to shoot up there and get back down again in a clean musical way. Phrasing was Ok for just "off the top of your head". Doing well for six months in my opinion. Your next one will be better cos you've jumped in with both feet now.
Better than me after only six months. Keep going. Hey! Would have liked to have known what harp and key you were playing.

Good job - wish I could have played that well at six months. How often and how long do you practice?

Wow, that was good! I must be slacking on my woodshedding because I've been playing for a little over a year and can NOT make my F harp sound like that. I agree with oldwailer's comment on tone practice. Although I have a really hard time with tone myself on any harp above a D, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But it might just be the microphone quality on your camera or computer. Keep it up!

Checked it out, nice work. Youve got a lot of good techniques going on there in your improv, I think youre going well for 6 mths and you will make a very good player.

Tyler,
There is hope for me yet. I was afraid you were gonna say hours. You obviously have developed at a faster pace than me. Good work!
