Joel Andersson incredible solo harmonica medley and interview

This is a must watch if you are harmonica fan. At the 2019 Harmonica Masters I had the pleasure to meet Joel Andersson, a brilliant exponent of folk and Irish harmonica and a master customiser too. As a blues player I loved hearing this completely different side of the harmonica which has such an energetic and positive vibe. You need serious skills to play like this! It was a pleasure to speak with Joel and hear him play. I hope it comes across in the interview. 1:09 Amazing solo harmonica medley 4:43 Joel explains how he layers the different elements of the tune using tongue blocking 12:34 Joel talks about his approach to harmonica customisation Joel begins by giving us a fantastic demonstration of the harmonica sounding like an accordion and violin at the same time with a harmonica medley. In my opinion his playing showcases the best of the harmonica's abilities and his ridiculously good tongue blocking technique which enables him to layer single notes, octaves, vamping and drone notes to powerful effect. Joel is one of 7 people in the world currently approved as official Hohner harmonica customisers and reaching Joe Filisko's standard. In the last part of the interview Joel talks about his views on custom harps. If you like this interview checkout Joel's album of solo Irish Harmonica https://www.jaharmonicas.com/webshop....
