@mikelisacarb 1 minute ago (edited) Lee Oskar was amazing in the way he used his instrument as an inside voice of the "War" R&B fusion horn section. Nobody else has ever really done that, and it absolutely makes so much musical sense. Once you mic the "harp", the sound can be colored in many ways, but the breathiness is always there in the background. Every once in a while, it peeks up out of the inner texture, but he seldom has it in your face as a constant solo instrument, the way that most blues harp players do. Through most of their songs, you'd swear it was a saxophone. Sometimes you really hear it more as a harmonica, but it always serves the needs of the song! (see him doing his thing at 2:00 ) A real musician's musician, as all of these hit-making guys tended to be! It's all about the groove!

It’s a giant version of the notation chart for the different types of harmonica in the Lee Oskar range that comes included in the box when you buy a Lee Oskar harmonica. Hole numbers are on the black line with the blow notes on the top line and the draw notes on the bottom line. I’ve been using Lee Oskars for for a little over 20 years and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

The first time I played a Lee Oskar harmonica, about 24 years ago, was like a breath fresh air. Admittedly I had only played a cheap Hohner Pocket Pal before then, which was the starter harmonica I first learned to play on, and I found the Pocket Pal to be hissy, hard work and just plain nasty. At first I thought it was something wrong with the way I was playing. But the first Lee Oskar I played was crisp and clear and ridiculously easy to bend notes on. I still use them now and can get them to do pretty much whatever I want them to do, and are really responsive. They are notoriously hard to overblow on, but since I don’t really overblow anyway that’s not an issue for me.
