How envy you make me It sounds identical to the original version, I would say even better. You got the point right.

Im a drummer and have many a musical discussion with musical peers but never felt respected for my preferences in music. So once i decided to ask my band mates what their favourite harmonica performance was and thenresponse were blue standards from 70s rock groups. They asked me for mine and i told them Stevie wonders playing on there must be an angel. A long fave of mine for its fluent , spritely and rather celebratory phrasing. My opinion of this transcription performance as played by the gentleman in this video? Perfect! Yes the notes are accurate and previse, even the dynamics and ornamentations and attack and syncopation are spot on. But if the spirit was even missing a slight i would not call this perfect. But it is perfect! Amazing and actually incredibly impressive to pull off a perfect covering of the original. Actually, this isnt a transcription or cover, its properly described as a recapturing. Im blown away. And too also love the tagging of the second solo played in the somgs fade out, the record kind of fades that out which i never liked. You have it retained here in full glory. top notch playing and i cannot express enough appreciation for how well you play this solo. Youve technique and talent but your hidden less obvious skill you demonstrate here is your musical ear! You deserve praise for this performance. One last thanks for the written transcription. I was planning to try learn it on the piano, right hand melody. Youve saved me hours of trying to write it out myself haha. Great job

Wow, thanks. What sort of harmonica were you playing?

[@andreybox8915]

What means "+" sign right after number? For example: "6+". It's slide for a half tone up with button?

[@sergiorick73]

Amazing! Which harmonic model did you use?

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Thanks, it’s a Suzuki Sirius 56

[@alexlysyj924]

Since you played with a Suzuki Sirius 56, is it a cross tuned or a straight one? I have an SCX 48 & 56 and I'm thinking of getting a Sirius 56 ( either a straight and/or a cross tuned) I'd like to know how well you like them.

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

its the cross tuned / long slider - havent tried a stright one - but prefer the layout of the cross tuned as its similar to the hohner 64 or scx which i am familiar with

Do you teach pls?

Bonjour,félicitations pour cette performance. C'est ce solo qui m'a fait commencé l'harmonica il y a 3 semaines. J'aimerais pouvoir le jouer dans le futur mais comme je suis débutant j'ai acheté un harmonica diatonique C,y à t'il une tablature existante de ce solo en version diatonique?Merci d'avance

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Thankyou 🙏 for the tab, any number in ( ) is draw, without is blow. The + means slider in. Hope that helps

If I could play just one thing on harmonica, and if it took a year of practice, this is the piece I would want to play. But I haven’t even a clue what harmonica to buy

Start with a Suzuki SCX 48, or for something cheaper an EASTTOP Forerunner
