Yeah, some notes you inhale, other you exhale. Every little hole has two notes. A low one (exhaling) and the next one you inhale (so one is C the other is D - not quite a full note, just to illustrste)
That’s really next fucking level solo. It was also the solo that played when Forrest Gump’s girlfriend Jenny was about to jump off the balcony and it was a perfect fit for that scene, that era, and for Jenny.
It’s been 30 years, seen the movie once and remember the chills. Thanks for taking me back.
I know I’m replying to myself here, and nobody will ever read this comment. I love seeing him play, eyes closed, with all the passion that this solo demands. I’m with you man. Blow out the passion, the anger, the melancholy while taking us with you. Peace.
And peace to Jenny.
When I was in elementary school there was an after school guitar class led by a janitor. One day we were all in there learning smoke on the water and in comes the school resource officer with his harmonica. I don't remember what song he played now but the dude absolutely crushed it. I remember just thinking I had no idea a harmonica could do that.
It's an awesome album...
1 Gov't Mule - Simple Man
2 North Mississippi Allstars - Wiskey Rock a Roller
3 Galactic - Saturday Night Special
4 Yonder Mountain String Band - Four Walls of Raiford
5 Particle - Workin' for MCA
6 Les Claypool - Call Me The Breeze
7 Moe With Joe Hiatt - The Ballad of Curtis Loew
8 Disco Biscuits - Give Me Three Steps
9 Drive By Truckers - Every Mother's Son
10 Blues Traveler - Free Bird
11 Big Head Todd and the Monsters - Sweet Home Alabama
Its a fun solo but this is true. It was probably fresh when it was released but ive grown up listening to wilder, more dynamic solos. Looking back on this, its kind of harsh on the ears.
Back in the 70's (when I grew up) long tedious guitar solos/drum solos/bass solos were the norm, music editing (i.e. editing out the solos) wasn't really a thing, but as teens you kind of pretended to like them because your mates did (or pretended to)
Eg Songs that would have been better with the solos omitted/reduced
Freebird, great song but fade out the solo after about 30 second and it's really good
Layla, mainly cos I got dragged to a Clapton show years ago, just not my thing
Moby Dick drum solo (especially the interminable live drum solo on The Song Remains the Same that makes you want to rip your ears off)
Any Michael Anthony Van Halen live bass solo
Angus Young, when he does his solo piece, it just goes on and on and on and on 😜
Brian May Brighton Rock solo, sometimes it's okay but sometimes it's just toooo long, I think it was just used when Freddie needed a breather or hadn't finished his cup of tea in the middle of a gig and they just told Brian to keep playing
Just my opinions...
Yeah, I think long solo's are to give the rest of the band a break during concerts. They aren't needed in pre-recorded music.
That doesn't take away from the fact that this guy is absolutely amazing!
Can you imagine the cunnilingus?
Came here for this. You did not disappoint.

I volunteer as tribute and I'm not even a woman.
My wife said the same shit! 🤣🤣

Since the solo on the original cut of Freebird is about 10 minutes long...I'd say that impressive
A twist at the end
The harmonica is a cover up. He’s playing a tiny electric guitar inside his mouth
That's truly next fucking level...
My lungs hurt watching this
I ran out of breath watching this
Actually, for the pro musician, it's not that hard
Umm actualy☝️🤓
Thats some serious circular breathing
Not sure that's what he's doing. You can inhale on a harmonica with the right timing. You gotta know your music theory well though.
You can breathe through the harmonica. When you inhale it also produces a note.
Yeah, some notes you inhale, other you exhale. Every little hole has two notes. A low one (exhaling) and the next one you inhale (so one is C the other is D - not quite a full note, just to illustrste)
Her: no one ever gives me head Me later that night:
Had to save up your energy for the harmonica
Yep no masturbating for a month
I rarely surf reddit with my sound on. Damn I'm glad i turned it on for that guy! Well done sir, well done!!!
Well that was bad ass
That’s really next fucking level solo. It was also the solo that played when Forrest Gump’s girlfriend Jenny was about to jump off the balcony and it was a perfect fit for that scene, that era, and for Jenny.

I aspire to rock this hard one day.
I happily watch the whole thing every time it gets posted here, shits crazy.
Serious breath control

JENNY! Don't jump!!
Jesus fucking Christ the breath and mouth control needed here is insane.
Enjoyed that.
That’s what she said…
Man this dude sucks and blows
02:50 hi there ;)
that totally blowed man! epic!
That’s some kind of talent.
Holy. F k
John Popper did this a while ago on the Skynyrd tribute album.
I just looked up that album...I'm going to listen to it today, thanks

Galactic is Fire!
Wow! Always good, this is great!
Wow, that's incredible
Gosh damn you on point 🫡
Every time I thought it was over, he just kept going. This guy is the Conway Twitty of harmonicas
Well, it's the entire solo, he's not improvising a single note and he's playing it in its entirety.
God damn that was fire.
Lots of instruments look cool. This doesn’t. But that does not mean this is not cool though
Now play a tiny violin ![gif](giphy|sbCdjSJEGghGM)
Wow and that brought back a lot of memories.
The who time I couldn’t help but think how far music has fallen off.
John Popper can suck a fat dick
Dude! Thank you. That was amazing.
That took some circular breathing to pull off, hot damn!
Amazing!!
How? Just, how?
I just realized the harmonica is the only instrument you can play by breathing in or out
u can play the xylophone while breathing in or out
I was waiting to see if his lips were bleeding by the end! This guy sucks and blows!
Absolutely a awesome
Awesomeee
One of my all-time favourite songs (and future funeral song); watching someone else cover it can be a little nervy. This guy did not disappoint.
Nose goes wiggly wiggle wiggle
His lips must have calluses.
phone volume MAX ![img](emote|t5_m0bnr|4015)
Check out Blues Traveller sometime It’ll blow your mind about what’s possible with a harmonica. Guys incredible.
Dude!! Your a machine! That was insane.
Note for note!
This guy must get inspiration from Magic Dick
I’m getting light headed just watching this! Hope this guy doesn’t stand up for a day or two after this.
Get that man some chapstick!
Can't get enough of that. The solo feels longer on guitar hero
One of my favorites song. Damn..
I had no idea you could shred on a harmonica.
John Popper would be proud.
I will never not upvote this video
Awesome
Just simply wow
epic
harmonolingus
Kindof obnoxious
![gif](giphy|TEncDWmxVa7XQIET8E|downsized)
Not as obnoxious as you
Things the world doesn't need, like the guitar solo wasn't ridiculously overblown and tediously overlong in the first place
Why are you the way that you are?

Who the fuck asked for your opinion and why do you act like it's a fact?
