Thank you to sharing your experience Tomlin and thank you for all the explanation; very useful, especially with the notes, remains to see how I will handle with the blues tricks :)
So nice and relaxing. Please enjoy 'Silent Night' performed blindfolded on piano by me, Richard Moonstone, to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Peace and Love.
Thanks for this Tomlin! So this Christmas I'm supposed to play Silent Night harmony as a duet with someone playing melody on a hammered dulcimer. My harmonica level is such that I can follow tabs, but tabs for harmonies are hard to find. Is there a trick to transcribing notes to tabs? Anyone have a suggestion for getting the harmony for Silent Night in tab format? Thanks in advance!
Cool vid, saw another silent night lesson, explained it an octave higher, which i prefer. Would start with 6 hole then, right? Is there any other difference? Are these tones easier to play with the air (breath in, and out)??
I'm sure you already figured out your answer here, but for anyone else: The big difference of playing it starting on the 6 hole is that you won't have to bend any notes. All straight blows and draws.
@@facepalmdaily4404 Only downside for a new player is that it's pretty hard to draw those -8's and -9's. I prefer the sound on the lower end myself. It is however a great song to learn those high notes on. :)
@@deascycles1655 Very, very true. It was my experience as a beginner that the ability to hit those high note draws had a lot to do with the quality of the instrument. Not all of it, of course, but the harmonica itself certainly played a role. I first started on a Fender, which isn't bad.... but those high note draws were a nightmare. Switched up to a Hohner and it was an entirely different ballgame. Even in my early days just nailing down scales I had zero issue with any note on the Hohner. For any beginners out there, spend a little extra and get you a quality harp. It'll make a world of difference.

Very nice! Well done Tomlin!!!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the video!
What a pity there is no playing along for the full song at the end of the lesson.
My pleasure! Sorry I didn't do a play along at the end.

If you play it an octave higher it sounds better and no bend is required.

My 3 draw whole step bend is sounding more like from a trumpet than from a harmonica. :X
Mine is terrible too!
where is the tabs men ? I can not find the full tabs in anywhere for this version!
where can I see the full tabs??
Thank you! Happy Holidays and warm wishes for 2017
Aw thank you! Happy holidays and warm wishes for 2017 to you also :-)
It sounds better in 2de with a majeur 7th on the 5th draw hole.
Merci - je vais essayer en seconde :-)
I just bought a 12 set of harmonicas and I'm trying to learn any tips, anyone?
Hello - I would recommend that you start with my beginners course - tomlinharmonicaschool.com/p/complete-beginners-harmonica-introduction-course
Was this a 10 hole harmonica ?
Yes - 10 hole diatonic in C major :-)
Why not play this song in the middle octave and avoid all the bends?
Silent night meets home on the range
I cant get the 3 draw to sound in tune.
Bending 😭
Was hoping to hear harmonica solo. The background music is drowning you out.
