Low F harp, Bug's one man band practise... and you thought traffic was harder now!Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rainEvery night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rainTakin' pills and cheap whiskey, just to try to ease the painIt's hard to gamble when you lose every betHard to save money when you're twenty years in debtThe blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rainI'm gonna take a shotgun now, people, and disconnect my brainI made some mistakes, had some bad breaksNow my mind don't work and my whole body achesBlues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rainMy life is like water, just swirlin' down the drainTried standin' up, keep on fallin' downTried standin' up, keep on fallin' downEverywhere I go the blues is all aroundIn 1905 There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads.The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!in 1905Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn't been invented yet.Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. (Shocking!)There were about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home.Five leading causes of death in the U.S in 1905. were:1. Pneumonia and influenza2. Tuberculosis3. Diarrhea4. Heart disease5. Stroke

Open G = 1/5/7 low C or C harp diatonic , the low F harp means playing blues in C which as the cbg is open G means playing up the neck or with a capo. for Open D use a G harp etc see below etc
Hohner special 20 are good, Im a keen fan of the turbo harp (but it doesnt hold to my mic stand), and sidel big six when its stuck on ya mic stand (the box set is all you will ever need)
the Sidel sound warmer as has brass and wood comb.. also susuki are quite nice
Lee oskar's sometimes you get a good one and sometimes you dont but you can change the reeds for £14 which is cheaper than buying a new one

Thanks Bob... I have a few harps now so maybe I should try do a review sometime..
I mainly play open G tuning a lot so mainly play mainly a C harp, them low tune ones sound nice though.
The Sidel big six blues harp has no bum notes for blues so you can't really go wrong whatever you play lol... usually that works for me ;>)
Great vid and Outstanding performance!... accompanied by very some useful information
