Kind 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

>>130005271
Only when played either really bad or really good

banjo has the odd distinction where the only time I've ever heard it played is at high skill and high tempo

i was thinking Neil Young too, some of his harmonica is very tasteful

I think it's also because banjo has basically 0 sustain so you basically have to keep plucking in order get some sound going

no

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 harmonica

Personally my vote would be for the Jew Harp

Chromatic chads rise up! Doubt theres any on this board, probably all basic bitch guitarists.
