Hakan, my name is Mike, I live in the northern part of California, I'm 61 years old and have been playing blues harp since I was 13 years old...and I sit here amazed by your performance. Dude, that was just plain, old AWESOME! It's been a long long time since I've sat in with a band...or just a group of folks that like to just sit & jam. Hard to hook up when you're in a wheelchair (MS). Continue to wail on that little beastie, Hakan, not only is it fun, but one can go busking without a ton of crap to lug on the street...and make some cash along the way.(Did just that in Amsterdam many years ago.)
I haven't played in years (30) and just bought a Big Six It should be here in a couple days. I sure hope i remember how. Your video brings back so many good memories, and i thank you for that.
I watched Blues Brothers the other night in pure nostalgia and today my brand new Hohner Marine Band arrived at my door. Been playing the guitar for years and years but now it's time to blow some harp! Great playing and love your voice! Cheers from Gotland
Rally nace playing. Thanks for the lesson . I'm learning play harmónica. I,ve got an ECHO honner gift from my father when i was a hoy. And a recent gift from my kids for christmas... a blues harp. Congratulations from Spain.
Hey Geroge... How is it going so far ? I bought my first harmonica in they key of C... About same time you wrote this comment. I think a couple days more maybe. Are you getting clean single notes already ?
@@georgegandara6054 same here... I run out of air quite faster. Hey... You wanna keep in touch? I know nobody in harmonica world... Not even musicians friends whatsoever. Maybe we can share progress or tips.
Fantastic, I'm wiggling on my chair. Could be me, like the hat, the sunglasses and the black! I'm good on keys, have to practise my harmonica(s)!! Cheers, Håkan!
7 years later hahaha the wife left the dog died and im still struggling with repliclating this.. hahaha lord have mercy... hawk plays the awsome blues and i live them.. i wont give up .. much love still manchester england
Hi Carl, i'm a bit desperate too, started more than a year ago now to study Hakan's GREAT version. Best on the Bluesharp planet....What helped me the most by analyzing this song was buying Chordify, a guitar program on PC. Does not cost much. The thing is that you can manipulate the speed of the song and listen and practice a thousand times ( or more....) bar by bar. I don't have much talent but by insisting almost daily practice i'm now getting somewhere. Think about 60 % now, This weekend i'm gonna try to perform Hakans version on a family meet-up, with all credits to this fantastic , friendly, great player from Sweden!
es hermoso saber que este género especial de música fascinante perdura en el corazón de los que tenemos buen y excelente gusto ,es un verdadero despliegue de romance infinito muy hermoso
Ro ert Jhonson y Los Blues Brothers fueron quienes dieron vida a esta melodia del Blues que para mi es un himno para los cooedores de este genero y no simples fanaticos del mismo el Blues en su mxima expresion nunca Muere ni morira jamas posdata El Lobo estepario bay 06 10 2020.
Great voice Hakan. I love the pronunciation of each word. So clear and precise. You are a treasure, resurrected from the past, when words to tunes were understandable and told a story. Combined with your innate and well honed talent on the Harp, you are definitely in control. :>)
Makes me wish I could put it in reverse and go back to my sweet home Chicago in the 50's and see all the Blues artist's playing on Rush St. Chicago......
Classic and iconic microphone featured in the first video shot, was a favorite for musicians, singers and speakers. I own a set, gleaned from an estate sale, and they are classic and old school. In their day,..."state of the arts", for microphones. Plus they look cool,..like streamlined cars.
I go back to this Hakan pre-lizards piece frequently and just have to say how masterful it is and how much I enjoy - and have learned from - it. Be well and keep on, mate!
Der beste Blues aller Zeiten.
No doubt the best Sweet Home Chicago harmonica rendition I've heard....by far !
Thanks so much!
Awesome, truly outstanding and I play the blues a lot. I am from Belfast Northern Ireland.
Best music I ever heard in my65 years . just blows me away. Never ever heard anything like it.
Thank you so much!
"Sweet Home Chicago" -- blues favorite -- interpreted by a
harmonica genius from Sweden. Ya gotta love multicultural music!
Thanks so much!
Been reminiscing for a couple days. I was a child of the 60s + 70s. Brings back so many memories. Good and bad.
I´ve listened to this many a time - it´s still grand!
I’m proud I’m Swede now. The best blues from Sweden.
Thank you so much!
Como pode ter 4.3 milhões de visualizações e apenas 40.3 mil inscritos? A música é simplesmente sensacional!!!
Thanks!
For the first time in my life commenting on youtube, I want to give my knees. Calmness, skill, freedom，That is what I felt from your performance.
Thanks!
Grymt bra!!! Underbart sound och ett otroligt gung!! Coolt!!

That sounds great with some busking Mike! Thanks!! For some reasons I use to carry a ton of crap to my gigs, but I really need it...

Thank you Sir!
¡ Sin palabras! No puedo describir lo maravilloso que toca la armónica. Increíble!
Excellent, i live in France but because of you an Freddie King my sweet home is Chigago. Thanks, great cover.
Thank you so much! France is very nice. I've been to Paris, Lyon and Bourdeaux. But never to Chicago.
Simply the best. The voice really puts a great atmosphere.
Thanks so much!

what a mic there at the begining, glad it got the camera time it diserved.
It's beautiful
I go back to this Hakan pre-lizards piece frequently and just have to say how masterful it is and how much I enjoy - and have learned from - it. Be well and keep on, mate!
