[Harp-L] Re: Bruce Springsteen - Magic- Scream - U2 Desire
Well said Clay. I got started on the harmonica because of Bruce Springsteen and childhood memories of the movie Crossroads (not the Brittny Spears movie). Springsteen's use of the harmonica places you in the setting of the song instantly. That is the kind of musicality we need to strive for as we develop our technique.
A similar bit of harmonica simplicity at its most sublime is the U2 song "Desire". Towards the end of the song Bono blasts away on about three chords. It pushes the song over the edge, no pun intended, and if you have ever seen U2 live you will know that it sends the crowd into an ecstatic frenzy. I am pretty sure everyone on this list, including myself, can play this part. The magic is knowing that it should be played.
