    In the lessons we'll be taking an in depth look into the workings of a #TremoloHarmonica with 24 holes, focusing on the key of C we'll look at the individual notes of each hole and how to play the C major scale in 3 octaves.
    Tremolo #harmonicas are a type of harmonica, distinct by having two reeds per note. In a #tremoloharmonica the two reeds are tuned slightly off a reference pitch, one slightly sharp and the other slightly flat. This gives a unique wavering or warbling sound created by the two reeds being not exactly in tune with each other and difference in their subsequent waveforms acting against one another.... for more please see en.wikipedia.o...

    The holes are so small and how do you blow air in one hole while not accidently blowing into other holes?

  • @joephillips4082

    Excellent tutorial. I wish I had seen it five years ago. I have tremoloes in three formats: this one ("Asian"), Richter, and Solo tuned. Each has its advantages. Solo tuned is the most straightforward layout. Richter has the I and V chords for self-accompaniment on traditional tunes. But this Asian layout has a complete scale in the low octave and gives a warm rich tone not available on the middle octave or on a Richter. It's the reason I'm drawn to it. It's also the hardest to master for several reasons. Thanks for putting it up.

    Edit: I have a question at the end for you!
    I've had a C tremolo harmonica since I was very young, it was a gift from my mums school friend. I only ever messed around with it, and with quarantine, I thought it was the perfect time to learn how to play it. I only just figured out today what type of harmonica it even was today, because I was looking into harmonicas and the only examples were diatonic and chromatic and I was like- I don't think mine's either! I don't know how to play a single instrument and can't read sheet music, so I guess I'll just practice as if I was learning how to run without knowing how to stand up! One step at a time, I suppose...
    - How do you blow into an individual hole, wouldn't you blow in or breathe in groups of them together? And also, how do you read the notes?

    • @darkespeon64
      @darkespeon64 4 роки тому

      i think you AND i should start out with a more simpler harmonica with single holes of 10 i kiiiiinda learned how to play it assuming mine was one and it seems much easier and that's coming from someone with music background even the sheets are easier to read

    • @lepj3880
      @lepj3880 4 роки тому

      Blowing into an Individual hole is something you need to practice first. It's important to get a feeling for your harmonica and the positions of the holes

    • @KerinGedge
      @KerinGedge  3 роки тому +1

      For this type of harmonica you treat the holes that are on top of and below each other as one hole... you would only breathe in through a single hole on a tremolo if you were trying to bend a note, which can be quite difficult on a tremolo. In any case I made a video about blowing into single holes a while back ua-cam.com/video/vxoA4ZP5rdM/v-deo.html

    This was very helpful. For a while now, i've only been playing to my favorite songs by ear. But i can pnly go so far if i dont even know how to read the notes or at least memorize the notes on my tremolo harmonica.
    Currently using my partner's tremolo and i use it more often than my diatonic since i couldn't play "Doris Day's Dream a little dream of me" from a diatonic since i can't bend my notes yet this is why I prefer the tremolo.
    Im saving up for a chromatic too, hopefully by next year after i've learnt more of the basics from your channel.
    I'd really like to one day play my favorote jazz sheets from a chromatic or tremolo harp. So im excited. :)
    Also... your tutorial is very helpful. Especially for beginners, other tutorials head straight into bending which i still haven't i've barely done.

  • @captainbroadside8258
    @captainbroadside8258 4 роки тому +2

    i´m totally confused. what i know about tremolo hamonicas is that you play two holes at the same time in the upper or lower row. for example blowing into the first and the second hole is like blowing in the first hole if you have a standart diatonic harp. the harp in your vid has 48 holes which make it 12 possible positions to play

    • @KerinGedge
      @KerinGedge  4 роки тому +1

      I'm pretty sure I say in the video that you treat the holes on top of and below each other as one hole, that is what you mean right?

      Yup, I was confused as well. This may be a different type of tremolo? I have a tremolo harmonica (24) and it works the same way as a diatonic (2+2 is one note), only it has a tremolo sound and you can't bend.

    The hardest part for beginner is that the note is not order at a normal sequence, I think the proper way to recognize the note instead of memory the number about the hole to play a song. If you want to become a better performer.

    • @KerinGedge
      @KerinGedge  3 роки тому +2

      The way the notes are arranged on harmonica is very important and absolutely crucial for the instrument. 1. it allows you to be able to blow into the neighbouring holes without it sounding bad because the notes harmonise together... 2. The order allows you to be able to play the same song on different harmonicas in exactly the same way... the hole numbers will be different but the blows will still be blows and the breathes will still be breathes no matter what type of harmonica you play. If it wasn't this way, if the numbers were in sequence like they are on a piano then the harmonica would only be possible as a single note at a time instrument, it wouldn't even be called a harmonica because there would be no "harmony", also for every song you wanted to play you would have to learn how to play it all over again if you decided to try a different type of harmonica.

      @KerinGedge  Рік тому +2

      Hi Jack, sorry it took me this long to get back to you, but the numbering you are describing is pretty simple. When you see this sort of numbering, it's your harmonicas way of telling you the order of the scale. So if your harmonica is in the key of C all of the "1" holes would be the note "C".... all of the "2" holes would be the note "D", 3 = E, 4 = F and so on. You can still follow the numbers/tabs that I have set out in my videos, just ignore the numbers that are etched into your harmonica when doing so.

    Maybe you should consider a block of four holes as one big hole as in diatonic blues harmonicas. So, you can blow and draw in the same mouth position, like you do in a single hole diatonic harmonica. There's a vídeo in Spanish showing how to do that. In my opinion, is easier to play blowing or drawing a group of four little holes as if were only one big hole. I'm gonna put the link here.

    • @KerinGedge
      @KerinGedge  2 роки тому +3

      Hey, yes I understand your frustration but if you think about it it is made this way for a reason. The harmonica is designed so if you blow or breathe through neighboring holes then the tones will "harmonize" with each other, like chords. If it was made so that the holes and notes went in sequential order this would become impossible and you would only be able to play single notes... the more you practice the more this makes sense :)

    I’m still wondering why anyone made the system the way it is

    • @KerinGedge
      @KerinGedge  4 роки тому +4

      Ok, I'll try to explain. The harmonica is designed so that if you blow in any given hole then the holes on either side will harmonise with that note, like they would in a chord. This is true of a standard diatonic or a chromatic harmonica. If they made it so that holes 1-10 went in alphabetical order, CDEFG etc, then if you blew into any hole the holes on either side would not sound "right" but would sound augmented and you would have no choice but to play a single note only. Now if you were to look at the TABS for any song, you would noticed that the breathes and blows are all the same no matter what type of harmonica you are playing. I think this is why the tremolo is structured the way it is. In theory you should be able to play a song on a diatonic and then be able to play it the same way on a tremolo, only the hole numbers would be different.

      It's either not possible or really hard to do with one tremolo... to play a song that requires sharps and flats you generally need to have a second harmonica that's either raised or lowered a semitone in key so that you can use that one for the extra notes.
