Kyren Harmonica
Приєднався 2 чер 2023
My name is James Kyren Allen I am a Blues Man trying to make it to the top.
Formally known as James Bellowin
My play style is a lot more modern and fast paced similar to the Great Jason Ricci! But that doesn't mean I like to slow it down and feel the blues as well!

This is a really fun one and I was trying to play like Jason Ricci as much as possible so let me know what y'all think. This video and my playing is inspired by a video Jason did a while back and I got a few licks from that video if you'd like to take a listen. The song is in the key of D and and I'm playing a custom MBD by Bobby Crow in third position. Inspiration: ua-cam.com/video/fG_XpD5wlmA...

I probably overblows a couple too many times in this solo but what can I do but learn from it. Please let me know what you think and I'm always open for tips and constructive criticism. I don't like how thin my tone sounds in this one probably a mix of my embouchure and I just need to set up my amp better maybe I should get a distortion pedal? I don't know.

How To U-Block On The Harmonica Like A Pro! (Beginner To Advanced)

In this video I breakdown each aspect of U-Blocking but of course I ramble a lot in this video so I made timestamps for the ones that don't want to waste their time listening to me. There is very little info on U-Blocking on UA-cam and when there is most of the time it is negative so I made this video to shine some light on the GREAT EMBOUCHURE U-BLOCKING and the advantages it can have!

Santana Style Harmonica Jam (D Harp)
Can’t get a 7 overdraw to save my life
You ball lefty.....but you play harp righty!!!!! lol.
I'm left-handed and I can only spin the ball on my left hand so I played right handed
Great combo! Some harmonica and some hoops! Hell yeah!!!
Damn how tall are you? You dunk with ease! That’s crazy!
Good practice for me. Thank you.
Baller
Excellent, This is stuff that I should have practiced hard forty years ago but never did, completely. You are inspiring me to work harder at it. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I'll get one of me riding a horse and roping while blowing on my harp.
Great lesson! Are you using a regular OOTB harp or has it been customized?
It's a regular out of the box Special 20. I've just bent the cover plates back and painted the barriers.
@@KyrenHarmonica Why? Isn't an OOTB Special 20 good enough? (I just have Blues Harps and one Arkia). And what do you mean by barriers?
Great work.
Great stuff, motivates me, thanks!
Thank you! You motivate me to keep making videos!
Started harmonica 2 months ago (special 20), loving it, but I really dont know how to proceed. Your video motivates me, but how to get to that level, where to start is hard to understand. I'm thinking of buying a 100 lick method and go through them but i dont know if it's the right way.
Licks are good for beginners but once you get more comfortable on the Harmonica I'd say get into Jason Ricci videos and learn the Minor Pentatonic Scale so then you can play whatever you want!
@@KyrenHarmonicaOk, I will put in the work with the help of your videos and some licks for few months and see where it gets me. Really hyped by this new hobbie and watching a cool young dude like you perform so well is inspiring. Keep at it pls, thanks
@Saitamacz34 If you ever need help with anything hit me up on one of my social media accounts always willing to help!
Good video! “4 stages”, yes!
That's cool man You Are Pretty Good With The Harmonicas Have Ya Been Turn On To Roger Troutman He Plays Harmonica To if Not Check Him Out 😊
I haven't I'll have to check him out
I remember in the 90's when Jason Ricci was playing through an old Fender Bassman and added an Octaver pedal. As I recall, he used to the lower octave when he played through the Octaver. ~ Greg G. 🎵
I love the ramblin man vlogs! I always put em on while I’m working on reeds. Dude I thought I ruined the marine bands deluxe and I think I managed to fix it. I’m also going through a lot of the same things trying to learn to work the harps to play better. You’re so right: when you realize that your blow reeds affect the draws and bends, that’s a revelation! 25:13 made my head spin 😂😂 I need to work on my speed
Man it's crazy these reeds be working! It makes no sense to me but whatever 😂 And all I'm doing is the 4' 4d 5d super fast but being a U-Blocker helps a lot because I can move the harp and my tongue at the same time which basically doubles the speed
sounds good man, what venue is this?
It's at some bar and grill restaurant
Now ya need to keep expanding on fx for your harps. Experiment with many more fx!!! Let me suggest getting your hands on a Pigtronix Resotron!!! You can plug a Korg SQ-1 sequencer into the expression jack of the Resotron, and SEQUENCE THE EXPRESSION!!!! Subscribed!!! 😎👍
Thanks for the ideas I have no clue what those are but I'll definitely look into it!
@KyrenHarmonica They would be tons of fun with a harp! And really wild! the SQ-1 sequencing the expression would give ya a rhythmic element to play along with. 👍👍
WoW challenging! I know its just scales but you are good Kyren! How long have you been playing, man? Im gonna subscribe!
Thank you! I've been playing for around 2 and a half years
Man so cool you heard that Sun Ra "Enlightenment" song. Such a haunting number.
It really is! One of my favorites for sure!
💜❤️💜
My bro!
Totally fun to watch and see how someone else is doing it. I've got some of the same harps, learning the same stuff you've already got down, and I started years ago. You sound great. Keep it up!
Thank you I really appreciate it! I love making those longer videos it allows me to talk more 😂
I really love my Easttop. I still haven't set it up because it's almost perfect out of the box, better than my Hammond out of the box. I'm going to buy a few more to fill out my keys
They are a great budget Harp I still play mine almost everyday!
Excellent video lesson! I played on/off for years and when I started watching Jason's videos and especially his Major/minor pentatonic scale and exercises it really opened up the harmonica for me! Scales are a great way to learn, thanks for the lesson 🎶😎🙌
Thats the kind of exersises i was looking for, if you have more of these in minor pentatonic please share them, thanks in advance!!!
There's an infinite amount of combinations! It's extra fun trying to find your own combinations.
Excellent.... Jason would be proud!
Pretty good.
Big fan of breaking it down. Thankyou. Been learning from Jason but practice time is hard to come by.subscribed to you also now so thanks for the time you spend to teach
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Fine playing, versatile pedal, clear demo. There are vocal processor pedals that will do a a good job on the harmonica but this one has a lot going on and it takes an expression pedal too.
Some of the most important training .
Bravo !
More scale exercises yay!
Dude...very nice chops. Those types of pedals are a lot of fun for sure. I'd love to hear you through a small vintage tubeamp. .
Me too! I love the sound of those small distorted amps!
Cool pipe organish sound.
Very good lesson and excersises, thank you, brother. It inspire me. Regards from Poland :)
1st , you seem like a fantastic kid who I hope keeps playing and becomes even more of an excellent player. and...overblowing is so darn frustrating. Good job on the video...but I still cant do it. LOL
Thank you so much! And sorry I couldn't help
That sounds killer! Like a pitch wheel on a old keyboard meets an organ patch?! super cool man 🔥
I know! It's super cool!!!
17:34 ... I really like how you spin the harmonica around in your fingers so quick. I love a good turn around!
😂 thanks it's fun to do!
Absolutely insane my dude. Lower octave bends are incredible ;). Tongue blocking worked well too. I can really feel the Ricci coming through! Maybe it's just my habit but a couple of variations in note length (inc big ol' wahs) might give it even more funk. Your playing is brilliant dude thank you for putting it up here for all to see.
Definitely agree with you on the note lengths! I think I was just trying to show off my speed to be completely honest 😂 But thank you very much for your kind words!
@@KyrenHarmonica It worked my dude!!! Not just the speed but your accuracy is brilliant. I'll take a few hints from you and do a little (WAY) more funk! You're welcome man - but the pleasu're mine.
Thats Minuete in G
That pedal is awesome!
It really is!
Wow that's awesome pedal.. game changer
Vc é excelente garoto.
5:58 woahh génial !
Accordion
Thank you! 😂
Have fun. Merry Christmas
Major cool!
I use a cave resonance peddle with my harmonicas! This peddle sounds incredibly fun
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your channel 💯
Thank you!
