Is the harmonica a meme instrument?
>>130005271Kind of. It could be a meme if its like some sappy negro sat on a porch in the 1930s singin da blues but when utilised well (not like bob dylan) it can be a great sound
toot :DD
definitely overused by some artists (you know which one) but occasionally its tastefully done
yes
up there with the banjo
there are no meme instruments, only meme players
>>130005271Only when played either really bad or really good
>>130005297give examples of "utilized well" and I swear to god if you link cowboy bebop I'll fuck you in the ass with sand
>>130005386Out on the Weekend
>>130005332banjo has the odd distinction where the only time I've ever heard it played is at high skill and high tempo
>>130005399i was thinking Neil Young too, some of his harmonica is very tasteful
>>130005386https://youtu.be/554R4YhXm3U?si=LNaj1N0V1gIbEuevTake a listen bubba
>>130005407I think it's also because banjo has basically 0 sustain so you basically have to keep plucking in order get some sound going
>>130005271nohttps://youtu.be/s11BuatTuXk?si=SdtPD0yhsDyX4Bb2
>>130005386>cowboy bebopI'm more of a midnight cowboy guy

coining the term Harmonicannukah right now. It's a flexible holiday, any day you get a new harmonica (such as the Hohner Special 20), or just any day you enjoy blowing harp
I think there are better contendors for meme instruments. I've heard great solos played on harmonicas during songs. Lots of great blues music from the harmonicaPersonally my vote would be for the Jew Harphttps://youtu.be/5mdvajc9cHU?si=xhTJ-qtCUm7A_axn
Chromatic chads rise up! Doubt theres any on this board, probably all basic bitch guitarists.https://youtu.be/szc-MTQClAM?is=f7zxGc15Xb1Bum-Z
