Title: Harmonica? Who here plays it?
Post by: Ranbat on February 15, 2011, 11:07:44 PM
Cuz I am totally missing it. I've looked up some tutorials online and haven't had much luck. So who here plays and what was your break through moment?

All you need is a green bullet and small combo amp, and your harp will howl like a goose getting a stiff red bugger from a rutting coyote.

Pete from Goatsnake basically has a Harmonica sewn to his lips! I'd love to play Harmonica too, always digged it.

I have harmonicas, but I didn't "get" them either.  Probably spent a couple hours a week for a month or so trying.  Maybe I just need someone to show me.  I have a hard time learning from books.

I have a bunch of them. I have one that has a reverb/delay effect that's kind of  cool. I can do a little bit but even playing a simple melody is tripping me up. I wish I knew somebody that played that could give me some tips.

I'm guessing boxy with a lot of unpleasant feedback. Not sure they're designed to handle those SPLs.
