Wait for it, wait for it...
There's some discussion on mini harps on the forum and Eddie shared his home video of Joe Filisko playing his mini harp in Trossingen, Germany last year. Here's the link: http://gallery.me.com/evconsult#100074 Thanks Eddie.
Getting off the subject of the mini harp for a moment... listen to Joe's solo and notice that he doesn't present the upper octave note until the second chorus (without a harp in front of me I believe it's the note D, blow on the highest hole of his harp). He also doesn't present his highest note on the harmonica until after that (I believe the note E, the highest hole draw).
This is an ESSENTIAL skill for the harmonica player... to save notes, techniques, movements, etc. for later in a solo. We only have so many notes. Inexperienced players play them all too quickly. If you play the lower three holes on your harmonica for two choruses of a solo, and when the third chorus comes you play a wailing 4 draw, that 4 draw will be the best note you've played in the hole solo... the 4 draw never sounded so good!... it's because you saved it... you haven't presented it to the listener yet... it's new! Get my point? This is essential for the harmonica player to grasp.
P.S., can you figure out the tuning Joe's paying? It's not the same as what Winslow in the forum describes as the standard available tuning. I'll give you a hint... try the top four holes of your D Harmonica and holes 2 through 6 on your G Harmonica (high G if you got it) to give you an idea. More tomorrow...
P.P.S., Happy New Year!!!
