For those wondering - Playing a harmonica fast is just a fraction of the story. Getting good voice and accurate notes is the 99% of the rest. Good stuff.
So I’m just going to say this, I’ve been playing harp, using rotary circular breathing, since I was 8. My top speed as of my last concert, was 345 BPM and yes, I will be contacting Guinness
So lets see a video of the world record speed setting "Oh When The Saints Go Marching In" because this video is just utter bollocks. If you are mistakenly sucked in by this, I suggest you listen to some decent harp players with amazingly accurate fast chops. Jason Ricci, Will Wilde, John Popper, Norton Buffalo and too many others to list. This guy will give Lee Oskar harps a bad name!

Howard Levy plays a Blue Grass time called Rocky Top on a C harp at 340 bpm. His playing makes sense.

Well I slowed it down and it just sounds like slowed down nonsense rather than sped up nonsense
Playing his example at 0:45 at half speed sounds like me trying to get comfortable in my chair. I really should oil this thing.
Tabs?
1:23 at First Glance, it Looked like He got Hit by that Train. 😨🤣
Awesome!!

check out Scott Henderson "milkbone"..The solo is amazing. You will not be let down..
If you can play it slow you can play it fast
Nicky Shane is all jive
I play 200 notes in 20 seconds... try me.
Its what your like playing a slow song, and what you add to it with your harp. Sorry this doesn't impress me at all.
Nickys good but I'm the world's fastest harmonica player and clearly noted don't believe me just check it out.
yes mitch your a much better player, is this really in the Guinness book because i can play faster, i can certainly play nonsense better than he does.
Nicky Shane is the real deal...he's not only a great guy, he rocks in music.
you're harmonica playing remains a joke for all time
This is absolute bullshit 😂
