[@banzai166]

Girl, you got it!

[@MrTimmo3]

Might be worth mentioning that she is playing an instrument that costs about $35 US. Nothing fancy, but in the right hands (lips, tongue, mouth…) the wooden comb produces such a sweet and rich tone. Amazing vibrato! Mahalo for sharing… 😎🎶🤙

[@rehamkcirtap]

Good to note for people. It's the time honing the skill and this woman has clearly put in the work.

[@edgarmartinez2046]

I bought a lee oscar for me but i cant play a single note like that.

Hey, Tim. I bought myself 3 Fender Blues Deluxe harps and they sound pretty good, especially for $12.99 apiece, but which model is Amanda playing here and what key?

[@MrTimmo3]

@@timnron according to the KZbin description, “…Hohner Marine Band 1896 in A.”

It's so cool to see the younger generation getting into the Blues. I'm 62 yrs old and have been playing over 40 yrs and love jamming the Blues. I'm still learning myself.

In 1967, in a still rural fringe of Bethesda, MD, I was on a balcony maybe 4 floors up. I couldn't sleep, & there was a cool breeze & a deep quiet that extended into the surrounding forest 100 yards away. There were 3 towers to this apartment complex, around a simple courtyard, & I was smoking my cigarette in peace when a dark figure ambled out to the concrete center & sat down on one of the benches. I felt like we were close in our sharing of the night, when from that figure came a blues harmonica solo that absolutely blew me away. It lasted maybe 5 minutes, followed by maybe another 5 minutes of ambience. I was in an afterglow, & didn't want to ruin a perfect moment but calling out. Then that solitary figure ambled back the way it had come. I never did know who that was. That was 54 years ago, & I can still hear it, & feel it. This reminds me of that moment.

[@johnnyacevedo681]

Wtf It must’ve been Little Water you were listening to or Sonny boy Williamson

[@Chief.BigKnees]

Thanks for sharing

[@brandonlee1547]

I love your telling of this encounter. Idk if I’m just really zooted but the way you described it. I felt like I was there. You should be a writer.

[@freshbooz4756]

You know how to capture a moment

[@johngates8212]

That's so cool

[@williamcarter4242]

Man, i’ve been playing about 55 years myself, but I’ve never played like that… Back then when I first watched an old black fellow played before me, and I loved that sound I told him, he said here I’ve got an old harmonica, I’ll let you have… He said, here’s an easy song for you to play and learn it was called old brown jug, he played it I picked it up and I played it the first time, he said, oh you’re fooling me you’ve played before I was only 11 years old… I said no I’ve never played my life. He looked at me and he said young man that’s a gift from God.

[@TroyQwert]

So, if you're gifted by God and she beats you, she's the Goddess. 😊

[@normanheslington9912]

I have been playing harmonica for 50 years this is as good as it gets. She is brilliant..just brilliant

There are thousands of talented harp players out there. IMHO your assessment is overstated. Just sayin'.

[@norfolknwhey4787]

@@MrSpanky2001 she makes it sound easy, but what she’s playing is very technical. Her bending accuracy and intonation throughout is stellar.

[@raythompson6819]

I'm 57.. I wanna play like her when I grow up ! I'm a rookie.. but encouraged by this solo

[@TroyQwert]

Son, you have a lot to learn. All I learned to do with my harmonica, I can either blow in or out. Now I am learning how to blow a note. One step at a time. No rush. By 90, I hope...

[@Chimp_Titty]

I always felt like harmonica is the one instrument that can truly express how i feel without needing any words. Such an amazing sound from such a small little box

[@bonestasher]

...that's what she said....

[@Mike-jv8bv]

it is the instrument closest to the face and mouth. so that would make sense

[@daniellebaupain-wo4rg]

Du sens, de l’expression, plein de groove, des tripes, un peu de technique, ça, c’est du vrai blues , qui fait vibrer mon âme. Bravo et merci.

[@emac2340]

Amanda you are incredible. I'm 77 and have always owned a harmonica. As a traveling sales rep I spent many hours on the road and basically just breathed through my harmonica. I discovered you on line recently. St. James infirmary and The Way-Blues solo and others literally brought tears to my eyes. You have totally inspired me. I wrote down the score from St. James Infirmary and I will learn to play it first. I am very happy for you. You have a Blessed future in front of you. Thank you so much. Sincerely, your very inspired student, emac

[@JhaeMo777]

Man…when played right the harmonica has such soul. And you played it right!

[@adriftbubbles6817]

if you close your eyes and listen to the harmonica, you can feel your heart dancing to its vibe

[@iambeloved496]

People in my age group (20s) seem to listen to mostly rap but I never saw the beauty, art, talent, or effort in that. I'm not exactly what one would consider a blues fan either but the harmonica has been an instrument to me that you can really feel. Sometimes you don't need a song but to sit outside at night stargazing and playing whatever feels good. I find it funny yet I'm grateful in who I am to be in my 20s yet here I am going to rolling stones and eagles concerts and I play the harmonica. My mom says I was born in the wrong time 😆

[@questioneverything4633]

Where is this girl on our jam nights?! The world needs more of this.

[@junefrost8017]

Awesome! Beautiful, soulful ... and I am thrilled that a young woman is the musician making that mouth organ sing the blues. Keep up the great work Amanda - you are gonna shine as a Harmonica Star!

Ain't nothing like a good Blues Harp, My dad played in a lot of country bands. The last song I heard him play before his death was Good Night Irene. one of my favorite Harmonica's he had sound just like an Organ . It was almost a foot long.. Amazing Harp. By the way you sound incredible!
