@FreetheReeds thats awesome, great job. Thanks for posting
Thanks!
I decided to properly tackle the Terry McMillan version of āAmazing Graceā and I love how this turned out. I recorded and mixed this by myself last night.
For my software: I used Waveform 13 for my DAW, ALSA sound drivers, and PulseAudio for my recording output. The microphone I used is a Blue Snowball and my harmonicas are Gen 1 Hohner Golden Melodies in C and Db. For those wondering, my laptopās operating system is Linux Mint.

@Luke This is the Terry McMillan version, with the harmonica part removed with MVSEP.
I just noticed this about my harmonica tone. It now sounds very warm and raspy compared to my early Youtube videos (2020-mid 2022) which sounded more thin and bright. I donāt know what caused that shift in my tonal quality, but I do know that my lessons with Todd really helped me out. Iāve been a pucker player my whole life but my harmonica sounds like itās groaning because I lower my jaw, open my throat, use tall and rounded lips, and breathe from my diaphragm. The growls, tongue blocking techniques, and throat vibrato are just little extras I like to throw in because I think they sound cool.

After 19 months of B2B and hundreds of open jams and total immersion. A man seen me at open jam and invited me to play with his ESTABLISHED blues review! Offered to pay me to play with him! After I picked my jaw off the floor I accepted! The 18th is my 1st paid guest gig! Probly not a big deal to most of you however, NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I would play for $! Thank you Luke Clebsch and B2B. And everyone that keeps answering my questions and encouraging me!
One happy Harper! Eric.

Thank you for listening, I really appreciate your comment. I love playing and will never lose that happiness.
I realize Iām jumping the gun a little here but I happened to be at home and wanted to take on your challenge so hereās a quick second take of playing with the backing track you sent. I realize there are plenty of mistakes and probably many other issues but I wanted to to share my version to see what you think.
Thanks so much again!
