VERY NICE, You are a craftsman Greg

Wow!!! Great sounds here.

Natural teacher & great analogies !

Well played

I don't think anyone explains blues harmonica better than Dave. I'm really glad I found him, and through buying Special 20's, lol. I've signed up for the one month free, but will definitely become a paid member for the next several months at least. Thank you Dave, for sharing your talent with the blues world.

Ik speel LLE harmonica ik hoor nieuwe geluiden super 😊

Hi. I am a retired engineer who has an idea for a new kind of reed based instrument (prototype works!) and would love to talk with you how I might fabricate some custom reed plates and fasten reeds to them. Would be happy to compensate you for your time. How might I contact you?

I've been looking at Vintage 47s for a while. Now I'm going to have to buy one. This is awesome.

"The song is the picture, everything else is the frame." Such wisdom!!!

great video. Thanks for making it!

Génial ! belle improvisation 👋

So is this a solution if you can’t overblown?

Yes! Brings back great memories. Thank you, David.

This was great stuff. Looking forward to November this year.

Good insight by the master.

Glad that monkeys off his back.

Funny

Far Out

Wow.

Awesome video! Thank you for the tour

Sounds a bit like " Last night " Little Walter !!

Oh yeah!

Thank you for the bideo

Been playing harp 47 years. Regardless, it's always good to review fundamentals. Billy highlighted some great points.

Is that Steve Baker on lead guitar??????

I use to take lessons from Dave back in Morgan hill… like in 98(ish). All these years have gone by and he’s still blowing my mind.

Sir question : I read from Arzaq (I think ..) that when a reed was gapped , it was better to wait 1-2 days before closing the harmonica because of metal (brass in our case) strain relaxation. I didn’t believe too much but …I must say that it did happen on my MB on the 2 reed blow. I had gapped it the way I wanted . But it wasn’t consistent. I had to go to work etc. 2 days later , I tried it…and voila! Simply gorgeous she is now . Coincidence? Comments?

Vraiment bien!

Thank you for addressing this touchy (but needed to mentioned) topic. Yes, soundcheck and getting the amps closer to ear level with proper stage mix - 100% spot on. A real 'band' that plays gigs together with a setlist and stable personnel HAS to have a consensus about what is it: is it a power trio? They might not want a harp player. Vocalist / guitarist who likes the tone color and shadings that blues harmonica excels at? (Muddy Waters / Chicago classic sound): this can be a perfect fit. Getting less experienced players to listen to how Jr Watson, Jimmy Vaughn, Myers Bros back up a harp player can be wonderful mutual growth. Everyone listens better and appreciates everyone's input. If the band is built around a singer its the harp player's job to listen and DO NOT step on the vocal...of course a nice pad / following chord changes can sweeten the mix immeasurably. Pulling a person aside really helps, esp singers: "hey how does this fit?" "this isn't clashing is it?" Genuine appreciation for everyone's contribution means alot. Communication can be nonverbal as well but having (or creating) a role needs to come from some consensus. I heard a trio once with harp playing very low chunky rhythm...later he switched to bass gtr. It was wonderful Earplugs (one ear?) to deal with a loud member / best monitors & placement help too. Thanks again for your video.

Found you here also ! Cheers HarpCraftsman!

David is better

Thank you

Great advice from a legend ❤

He is such an amazing player!

0:20 Professional stand for the chassis.

Very important to learn thé difficulties of the instrument Extra I'll listen every Day 😅

Yoda and Mister Miyagi had a child together...that child grew up to be...David Barrett, the world's greatest sensei.

Aspiring blues harp player here. Kim is the guy I’m listening most to, he’s amazing

Maestros de la armonica !

Que bien que sea traducido al español , muchas gracias , me facina el blues !

Lo disfruto mucho , gracias

Magic Dick and Kim Wilson are the reason I learned to tongue block. I spent months learning songs, but it was missing something… so glad folks like them share info so willingly and have moved the craft upward and onward.

Beautiful amps! Which one of you modes do you make specifically for harmonica?

I suggest Forust to produce custom, 3D-printed wood combs at volume. Submit your own designs for printing using the Forust process. Forust Edition Shop System™ is an easy-to-use 3D wood printing machine.

Y’all’s phrasing and dynamics are incredible. 👏 I hope you don’t mind if I steal some licks 😂

Mr. Portnoy is one of the most intelligent and talented harmonica players in the world. He learned from the best and perfected his skills . Great musician . He interprets the blues better than any players today.

Shades of the Andrew's Sisters! Awesome

Love it fabulous
