Hakan, my name is Mike, I live in the northern part of California, I'm 61 years old and have been playing blues harp since I was 13 years old...and I sit here amazed by your performance. Dude, that was just plain, old AWESOME! It's been a long long time since I've sat in with a band...or just a group of folks that like to just sit & jam. Hard to hook up when you're in a wheelchair (MS). Continue to wail on that little beastie, Hakan, not only is it fun, but one can go busking without a ton of crap to lug on the street...and make some cash along the way.(Did just that in Amsterdam many years ago.)
Fantastic, I'm wiggling on my chair. Could be me, like the hat, the sunglasses and the black! I'm good on keys, have to practise my harmonica(s)!! Cheers, Håkan!
Hey Geroge... How is it going so far ? I bought my first harmonica in they key of C... About same time you wrote this comment. I think a couple days more maybe. Are you getting clean single notes already ?
@@georgegandara6054 same here... I run out of air quite faster. Hey... You wanna keep in touch? I know nobody in harmonica world... Not even musicians friends whatsoever. Maybe we can share progress or tips.
Rally nace playing. Thanks for the lesson . I'm learning play harmónica. I,ve got an ECHO honner gift from my father when i was a hoy. And a recent gift from my kids for christmas... a blues harp. Congratulations from Spain.
7 years later hahaha the wife left the dog died and im still struggling with repliclating this.. hahaha lord have mercy... hawk plays the awsome blues and i live them.. i wont give up .. much love still manchester england
Hi Carl, i'm a bit desperate too, started more than a year ago now to study Hakan's GREAT version. Best on the Bluesharp planet....What helped me the most by analyzing this song was buying Chordify, a guitar program on PC. Does not cost much. The thing is that you can manipulate the speed of the song and listen and practice a thousand times ( or more....) bar by bar. I don't have much talent but by insisting almost daily practice i'm now getting somewhere. Think about 60 % now, This weekend i'm gonna try to perform Hakans version on a family meet-up, with all credits to this fantastic , friendly, great player from Sweden!
I haven't played in years (30) and just bought a Big Six It should be here in a couple days. I sure hope i remember how. Your video brings back so many good memories, and i thank you for that.
I watched Blues Brothers the other night in pure nostalgia and today my brand new Hohner Marine Band arrived at my door. Been playing the guitar for years and years but now it's time to blow some harp! Great playing and love your voice! Cheers from Gotland
@HakanEhn  UA-cam Hakan I would like to know about the equipment you use. What make of harp and key for "sweet home Chicago" and also the brand of microphone and amp. Just love listening to you. I have been playing harp for a few years mostly ballads and bluegrass. Just now studying blues and learning the fine points of bending. Best Regards
Great voice Hakan. I love the pronunciation of each word. So clear and precise. You are a treasure, resurrected from the past, when words to tunes were understandable and told a story. Combined with your innate and well honed talent on the Harp, you are definitely in control. :>)
The clip exceeded 40,000,000 because of the hat and glasses and it's great, thank you. I want you to make a new recording for this song You are the best ever
es hermoso saber que este género especial de música fascinante perdura en el corazón de los que tenemos buen y excelente gusto ,es un verdadero despliegue de romance infinito muy hermoso
I go back to this Hakan pre-lizards piece frequently and just have to say how masterful it is and how much I enjoy - and have learned from - it. Be well and keep on, mate!
BRILLIANT'''.........I'm learning this one myself and i keep putting this (your vid ) on to listen to 'how it goes. Hope i can be as successful with it as you are. BRILLIANT '''
Der beste Blues aller Zeiten.
Ja! 🎈🦉😊
Smokin!!!! That tone is freaking badass and oh so satisfying....fat, lowdown dirty honking harp. Love it.
Thank you so much!
I took up harmonica because of you Hàkan. I love learning music.
Thank you very much for your kind comments!
Been reminiscing for a couple days. I was a child of the 60s + 70s. Brings back so many memories. Good and bad.
"Sweet Home Chicago" -- blues favorite -- interpreted by a
harmonica genius from Sweden. Ya gotta love multicultural music!
Thanks so much!
❤
I’m proud I’m Swede now. The best blues from Sweden.
Thank you so much!
Groovin'!!!
Greetings from 10 miles north of the Cheddar Curtain on the west shore of Lake Michigan and 70 miles north of the Windy City!!!

That sounds great with some busking Mike! Thanks!! For some reasons I use to carry a ton of crap to my gigs, but I really need it...
Really strong warbles - Mr Jacobs would enjoy. Also like the black camouflage!
