Tongue blocking has a lot to do with creating that impression of 2 harps. Just remember, if any of this was really difficult, I couldn't do it!

Hi Rick,
This tune just makes me grin ear to ear - I love it.
I'm curious what sax players you love. Who should I listen to to soak up more of this kind of groove?
Thanks,
Bill

This is the "magic" of the groove. It sounds like two harps, but is really one harmonica playing both "rhythm guitar" as well as "lead guitar".
