I'm glad too.... EVERY DAY... how's the harp? When's the harp gonna be done? Any progress on the harp? send me a file of how it sounds? do you think it gonna be a good harp? Send me a picture of the harp.
UGH...so after quite a few STFUs and a couple of months he's got the damn harp and I can move on to other stuff.
nice man. what over blow do you keep hittin? the one that seems to be a popular one. sounds like one that jason uses alot too. im still learnin to overblow so i cant pin point it yet but i hear it.
Buddha, you know you love me!!! hahaha. I don't think it was everyday, and I don't remember asking for soundclips :-D But, when I order another I won't ask I promise :-D
It's great to see the passion that he has for playing and instruments.
Like myself, Zack has worked on customising his own harps. So when he sees a good harp he appreciates all the work that has gone into it.
I just finished customising a Bb Marine Band and all I have done all day is sit here playing it. Because it's such a nice instrument. Mind you I'm still looking for ways to improve it though! :)
Elwood, you rule! You should see the video I got of me opening up the package. I looked amazed. Maybe I'll upload that since it is only a minute long or so :-D
So true Kingley, I understand the hard work they do. I am beginning to be able to like doing it. At times I'd get so angry. Now it's peaceful with a glass of water and a fan on low or something. I LOVE it. :-D
Yes I'm tongue blocking the overblows. Did them for the first time two days ago. Holes 6 & 5 are pretty easy on a Bb. Hole 4 is a little harder to get.
I plan to practice them until I can get them fluidly on every key harp. That should also help with my quest to play all my blow bends tongue blocked in every key as well.
I currently play everything except blow bends tongue blocked as I find it easier and quicker to navigate around the harp like that.
Thanks so much Arbite! Yes, I do that as I haven't heard many people do it, but one notable person that does is Paul Butterfield, especially on Driftin' and Driftin' off of his live album. Thanks so much man :D I believe it is 3 and 4 draw. More three, with a touch of four.
Well Kingley, that harp sure sounds good and loud. As for the overblows I can't tell where they are, so it seems to me they're played perfectly !
