Hi David,

I've been listening to Charlie McCoy's recordings after watching his iterview videos.

I like his bluesy and dull tone. Sounds like every note he plays is a bluesy tone.

How does he do that? Is because his customized harmonica? Is a particular model of harmonica? My hearing problem?

Thanks

 

Simon

Hello Simon. There's nothing specific that he's doing... it's just a good harmonica player playing the harmonica. Now go practice. :-)
