You only said that so you could say G-string, didn't you?

Mhm
Coughing and then almost swallowing one of these things could be a slightly awkward turn of events.

Huzzah though, a fellow blues harper! Do you use it for actual blues music, or folky stuff?

i'm a newcomer to it
but my old man played harp at a gig last saturday with canvey pub rhythm & blues legends Dr Feelgood as he used to be in the original band they formed from.

but yeah i like real blues

Real blues is cooler than a glacier
but jazz is nothing but a blues quartet falling down a long flight of stairs.

Listen to the Larry Adler version of that
it's mighty impressive, but not really something you could learn in an evening, I think

if it's pitched in G then you'll be playing cross-harp in D
coincidentally, I've just dusted off my harmonica to do a tune tonight

try finding an Elmore James tune in D, he liked D

Heh, when I first saw the message I thought he was playing the harmonica through an amp.
Then I had to lie down for a little while after that notion.
(LordMatthius has finally gotten Elements, and is now seam free!, Fri 16 May 2008, 20:02, archived)
why?
people play harps through amps all the time...

theres specially made harp mics to use when doing so (by cupping it in your hand).

Little Walter
He was the man for me. Sometimes managed to make his harp sound like a saxophone, I never could work out how he did it.

Sonny Boy Williamson
