Breathless Blues

[SteveG]

Well, Im back 

LOADS of catching up to do ... daunting task!!

Thought I would chuck this one up as its the only bit of recording I have done for weeks. Got a blues harp off Ebay, messed around with it for an hour or so, then decided to make a backer to try it out over, then ended up making a silly little song, so don't take it too seriously, I was not trying very hard here!! Quite like it tho

Heh heh. I love this. Great harmonica and groove. You didn't just learn the blues harp did you? Sounds like you've been playing it a long time.

And welcome back!

Cheers guys. I did mess with the harp a bit 15 odd years ago, but lost the damm thing before I got anywhere with it  This time round I have played it for a couple of hours tops .... pretty easy to pick up the basics, but I expect to hit a huge brick wall real soon

Cool man!!!! i'm new to the harp world still but i'm learning some cool blues stuff, my playing is a little weak so you'll have to wait to hear, i've recorded some harp to "Blown by Fay" and the only thing i like is the tone but my playing........ you know.

Saludos and keep playing!!!!

That was really cool. Good song. It's got rythm.

Did you record the harmonica through the onboard mic? It would be nice to do with a mic with a tele-plug so you can use the guitar-effects. The harmonica player in my band uses a green bullet mic. I have been trying to record him with this, but everytime we finally get som time to play all I do is record the everyone at the same time using a small stereo-mic.

You can use the guitar effects with the on-board mic!!! great Chicago sound, not the same as Green Bullet or Astatic but you have the 90% done with the MBR.
I think crystal mics like Astatic or vintage Green Bullets must overload the MBR input in a bad way, these are very hot mics, newer Green Bullets are dynamic but not so good sounding as the vintage, as ever.
