Thanks David for throwing this contest. Had a great time recording on it.
Song 1
CH1 - Very minimal, that's cool
CH2 - The high end fill are not doing much for me... I recommend you use the more powerful low range of the harmonica
Song 2
Nice meaty fills
Song 3
Open - I like the idea of the shake in the open... I would have opted for a larger, more warm tone
CH1 - Good fills
Song 4
Nice horn punches here. I would revisit your lessons to find out what's appropriate on the V Chord
Song 5
CH1 - Playing small fills is a good idea.
CH2 - Nice fills
I liked the 1st pos. on first tune. It sounded like an organ on second half of that? Second tune sounds good. Third tune is fine too. A little stiff rhythmically on beginning but catches fire in second half. Fourth tune is solid. Not crazy about your approach on slow tune- too unsure sounding & not crazy about tone. Nice space though. Last song is ok. Pretty straight ahead. Could have simplified the 5 chord though.
