Hi Gaukur, so pleased you could take part in BYBO2. It was good to hear your harp playing. Stop by on the forum occasionally, it would be good to hear some more.
Yeah, very nice. I wanna learn a bit of blues harp now. What sort have you got? I'm buying one next pay lol (no jokes). I take it you've been playing for some time now. I play some blues guitar and know all the minor pentatonic positions, do you think it'll take very long to learn?
@GermanHarpist, what makes you call me a member of Modern Blues Harmonica site? Just because I am friends with Adam does not mean I ever joined his site or forum. I have viewed it but did not choose to participate by logging in.
@GermanHarpist ..and ...just because someone says"this could be a fake" does not mean he SPREADS hate or negativity, you know that right? you know that...
@GermanHarpist i never gave a negative comment on a harmonica video before, the only reason why we had our thoughts, was that the first version of this video looked very suspicios to us, im well aware that this guy plays better than myself, and thats cool, im singer in first place, not a harmonica player, so, no need for me to be jealous here, the only reason for my comments was,...if this was a fake(yeah we know its not fake), it would not be fair for the other contenders of this competition.!!
@gaukur you show the harmonica to the camera, it is not upside down, and its NOT mirrored! but you blow low notes out of the wrong side of harp... explaine it
@DannyGrease, @DannyGrease, both of your comments seemed very cynical to me. And my reaction, typical internet keyboard guerilla style, was the same. Which doesn't make it any better. I didn't want to start a feud. The 'fakery' issue seems to be resolved now. Peace. Btw. I forgot to log out of my alternate account. myrecipies is of course me.
@GermanHarpist....his first video was a joke. It was what started the suspicion of fakery since it was a contest video. Notice I told him if he keeps up good stuff like this I'll be impressed. So keep em coming and good luck. I don't hate. Notice I sub him and we are friends.
@quinoacat,... is this a joke? With your sherlock holmes observation skills you should have noticed that the Sp20 had it's covers opened up... This harp also sounds as if it's some kind of custom job. Stop hating and this poisonous suspicion. Coercing a MBH fellow to put a vid named "this is not a fake"... ?? you should be ashamed of yourself. That was f-in awesome. Very good technique. A lot of feeling... OBVIOUSLY not a fake. That was way cool! Thanks gaukur.
@quinoacat, cool... I overreacted myself. I'm kinda getting sick of the 'fake' attitude on the internet and without knowing the backstory, both of your reactions seemed excessive. Having slept over it, I realise that my comments were exactly as agressive as what I thought to criticize. Peace.
@Maximum366 he deleted his first upload a few minutes after Q and I commented on it, it was stranger than this one, i downloaded it it, you will see thats faker than this one..i will send it to you via iCQ, Buddy
@DannyGrease, I kinda got enraged by you and Quinoacat. But it's sooo obvious... hahaha, you're both jealous. C'mon guys, take it easy, and let this guy overtake your musical rut on the fast lane. It's a shame that the internet gives people like you such a big platform to spread the negativity in your life.
@quinoacat if this turns out to be a fake(and my opinion is, it IS a fake), this guy is a shame for all the guys out there, who try hard everyday to become good harmonica players..
I'll have to reserve judgement until you get your technical issues resolved. So will Adam Gussow and crew, I'd bet. You show some skill in your 42 second video that has ZERO "synch probs" detected. Could you upload a clip, slapping out a riff or playing something on your guitar next? If you keep showing promise I could end up helping promote you.
Why not just re-do the video if you were having "synch" issues? You managed a non-accompanied demo of 42 seconds of playing that demonstrated you have skills playing as proof you played this. If you could manage that it should not be tough to do a video of you playing to this backing track that does not appear so suspicious. I should think you would want your contest entry to appear above reproach. Just re-do it and we will be convinced.

@quinoacat lets hope so
you started "playing" on the wrong side of the harp
@GermanHarpist its no fake and we are cool now, arent we... :-)
If you are 19, I'll eat my hat. The Leather one that cost me 35 bucks!
@quinoacat, it was a guess, obviously wrong...

BTW....the first video, cmon man, that was more than just "Synch" issues. It looked more like BAD MIME.

@GermanHarpist btw, liekd your "einfach irgendwas BYBOII" video :-)
