This my new video. I decided to play Yesterday (The Beatles cover) in bossa-nova style with touch of drum’n'bass. I played all instruments I can: chromatic harmonica, diatonic harmonica, bass, acoustic guitar, percussion.
Thats really cool. I wish i was as musically gifted. Wasted youth .... Lol.
I agree with Nate. I love the diatonic sound. The chromatic just doesnt do the same thing for me. Having said that .. I would really like to learn more on the chromatic. The right things played on the chrom sound very cool. But melodies are drab enough as they are. I think the diatonic adds that cool edge to the melody. While the chrom on melodies just seems a bit plain. Thats just my opinion.
However I really enjoyed the whole song Boris.
Btw ... How many instruments do you actually play?

Very nice, It was a tough decision to make. It took me three listens to make a decision. I am totally impressed and jealous of your diatonic work but I have to vote for the chromatic. For me, it just sounds better with this arrangement. I really do appreciate the quality of your work. Insert applause here …
Beautiful work on both. I suppose, if forced to make a choice, I'd give the nod to the diatonic. I love melodies on harp, and the diatonic strikes my ear with a more raw, edgy feel.
I'd pay good money to see Boris and Todd Parrott in a gospel harp duet/duel. That would be quite a show.

Very nice. Great job on both harps. But if I had to choose one over the other, I'd go with the chrom for this song/arrangement. To my ear it works a tad better here.
By the way, the cat napping on the back of the couch looked quite content. I'm sure JR would give his seal of approval on it. ----------
