I know a few basic things about the blues harp. Having said that, I can't say that I am harp player per se. I couldn't even play a whole song without a guitar backing me up.  :-(  Anyway, let's just say I am an aspiring Harp player.  :wink:

I love the warm sound of the Hohner, blues harmonica.



Favorite harp song - ang dami, pero the first song that I thought of was - Life will be better - Charlie Musselwhite

can't find a CM vid of this song, however, this is a good cover. I think he used a Bb harp for this playing the 3rd position.


Of course, who could forget the legends - Howlin Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Paul Butterfield, Junior Wells, even Big Mama Thorton, dami!

Oo nga pala, si TomCat! - Lampano Alley! Listen to Barkin' Up the Wrong Tree!

Cheers bro!

Oo nga pala, I have seen one blues band played in Hobbit house in Malate and the harp player was pretty good. I forgot the name of the band though...  :-( 

Ito yung isang photo ko sa harp player nung band (sorry out of focus)  :-))



Sorry, OT ata.

Blues harp heroes ko ang mga 'yan. But I like to listen to the Alone and Acoustic by Junior Wells and Buddy Guy.
I use to favor Hohner Proharp (Black) and Hohner Special 20, but now using Hering Delta Blues (Parang matibay ang reeds, thicker reed plates, tsaka wooden comb).

Ang tindi nga ng harp dyan tapos si Mike Bloomfield sa guitarra.
Paul Butterfield recorded a bluesharp course before he died. I think it is available online.
Paul Butterfield's "Work Song" and "Everything's Gonna Be Alright".

JJ Milteau's 'Fragile' is cool. Sounds like he is using either a Hohner Soloist or Extreme bender Xb-40. Halos parang saxophone ang tunog.
