[Harp-L] Bluegrass harmonica





Like I've said before I'm a bluegrasser, but seems like there's not a lot 
of good bluegrass harp out there, so I thought I'd pass this on from 
Brokenjoe...

Where I'd probably be doing more of a mandolin-like hard chord chop 
between leads, this guy, Jerome Godboo has his own way of doing it. I look 
to the mandolin for my inspiration, it's obvious to me this guy is looking 
more at the Banjo. He's playing a very crisp, banjo kind of rhythm.
That's the way to fit in with bluegrass, look at one of the other 
instruments for rhythm guidance. They're Canadian, but that grass will 
grow in West Virginia.

Here's my bluegrass, by the way....
