I'll have to listen to it again to judge the pitch issues, but for me?
I'm a guitar player who's learning harp, and Buddy Guy has an electric
player's touch, which is great on electric, but with acoustics, you need
to push a lot more, and Buddy doesn't. Which makes it a really quiet
album. I don't think I've pulled it out in years.
