Subject: RE: Leadbelly's strings
That's right Roger. You have to use overblows too; but I have never figured out what they were. Levy plays chromatically on diatonic harmonicas.

I forgot to mention last posting that Leadbelly used a plastic thumb pick and a long metal pick on his index finger. You can try that to get closer to his sound.
