You are a very talented harmonica player, I first heard this song watching The Outlaw Josey Wales, This is my favorite song and it reminds me alot of my father. Keep up the good work

Sounds great! I love some old time style harmonica. I play guitar, drums and sing but I've been teaching myself some harmonica.

Would you recommend low F for most old time tunes?

[@1seesaw2]

Thanks for listening Aaron. I use Low F a lot, but sometimes I use other keyed harmonicas. It's just up to the player as to which key harmonica they feel plays the best for the song they want to play.

[@aaronflinner6431]

@1seesaw2 okay. I have several keys, but I've mostly used C and G. I just posted a video of me playing an old Civil War song called Lorena using a Low D though.

Could you comment on your methods used on this song? Tongue blocking perhaps? Thanks

[@1seesaw2]

Hi David, thanks so much for listening. Yes, tongue blocking method to play the old time style.
