PT Gazell developed his melodic style of harmonica through playing a range of genres, from Bluegrass, to Pop, Country and Jazz.After his iconic first album, Pace Yourself, he became a session musician and toured with Country bands before taking a prolonged break from playing due to his frustrations at the limitations of the diatonic harmonica. This led him to develop his Gazell Method half-valved diatonic, in partnership with the German manufacturer Seydel.Select the Chapter Markers tab above to select different sections of the podcast (website version only).http://www.ptgazell.comIf you're interested in purchasing a Gazell Method diatonic: from within the US: http://www.ptgazell.com/gazell-method-harmonicas-1.htmloutside the US: https://www.seydel1847.de/epages/Seydel1847.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Seydel/Categories/Products/Specialities/PT-HalbventiliertPT offers teaching either through the online course at Music Gurus:http://www.ptgazell.com/online-instruction.htmlOr you can email PT if you're interested in one-to-one tuition: info@ptgazell.comSome of the equipment PT uses:Audix Fireball V5 mic: https://audixusa.com/docs_12/units/FireBall_V.shtmlBulletini mic: http://www.blowsmeaway.com/bulletini.htmlLone Wolf effects pedals: https://www.lonewolfblues.comPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsor:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com  or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS
