Your lessons are much appreciated. I've always wanted to learn to play the harmonica. my grandparents played it great but we never found good times together for them to teach me
I've always played with two fingers blocking the holes on the sides 😅. For the lip pursing, I find it hard to suck in air without getting multiple notes, blowing is pretty easy though.
It's funny... you can hear someone explain something you already know in a slightly different way and suddenly you realize something about playing... I'd never really thought about it but when I'm playing simple chords for a song I'm usually not playing say, 3-4-5 around the 4 hole, I almost always instinctively play the 4-5-6 first inversion C chord. Now I'm going to have to think about whether I do that when I might have some better options for harmony. I do seem to emphasize the 4 hole in that scenario, blowing harder into it than the other two. I like the whistling analogy but I actually open my lips farther than one hole but the whistling kind of fits how I shape my tongue behind it. I had a big debate with Larry Eisenberg on MBH once about whether it was possible to shape air farther back in the mouth with your tongue. I do a weird thing where I angle the harp back and forth to hit the note to the left or right of the hole I'm on with 3 holes open at the same time and when you mentioned whistling I for the first time realized that the way I shape my tongue to do that is the same way I shape it to whistle. /Old Maid Lips... I remember that line.
what is the different between the harmonica that have 8holes and 10 holes and 2x14=28 holes? and how compare, with my 2x14 holes 2-8 number with others
single notes are coming alright but when I move the harmonica my lips are sticking to it and i can't really move up. or down the harmonica without opening lips
Just ordered 3 Harmonicas for my daughter, son and for myself. Should arrive in 2 days. Your methods are easy to follow and understand. As we got lock down due to lovely Covid-19, this is good way to spend the day together as a family :) Who knows ??? we may even become Pros in this :) Keep the good work bro God bless and keep you safe from this pandemic! Whoever puts their thumbs down on you is not good enough people.
I uploaded this to Reddit in the Harmonica room. I rarely do this but damn man I thought this was very important lesson for most harp players new and seasoned like me. Thanks Tomlin, I am Amcanblues
I told my girlfriend...You so fine..and curvy.... Im gonna play You ..like a sweet guitar....She said.. I'd rather have you play me like a Harmonica'.........
I've learned how to play single notes now without too much difficulty. Challenge at the mo is how to make my notes sound more 'bluesy'. Thanks to your previous video (EASY Train Harmonica Blues) am feeling hopeful I can get there. Many Thanks 👍🏼
Thanks a lot for this! I thought I was having my mouth shape wrong, but turns out I just keep blowing off-center. Gotta practice getting it right each time I guess
I just picked up harmonica and for me personally, what’s really helping get single notes down is playing taps over and over. Easy to learn initially but takes practice to get the leaps and I feel like I’m starting to understand intuitively the intervals on the harmonica. Thanks a lot for this video, I really needed help with technique.
Amazon finally delivered my first harmonica, day one is today. Working on trying to isolate single notes. I'm a trumpet player for 20 years and trying harp. the books say to use tongue blocking, which i find difficult to figure out from a book lol. Thanks Tomlin for this one, works well for trumpet players who are used to tight amishers. Hohner Special 20 in C and A is what I bought to learn on.
I am also trumpet player who started to learn on harmonica Hohner Blues Harp in C, 3 days ago. For now I am struggling with single notes and proper breathing.
Hi there Tomlin. Thanks so much for this beginner lession. :) I didn't find playing single notes hard because I've previously gotten 7 years of training as a flutist. However the draw notes were significantly harder than the blow notes, will have to practise more on those to get it. Playing easy songs and simplified versions of songs from my favorite artists is off to a great start! Will be watching more of your videos. And if anyone else who've played the flute happens to see this comment - I strongly urge you to learn to play the harmonica as well, it's a natural & easy transition from the flute. :)
We have a 24 hole harmonica as a family heirloom. It was from my great grandfather and now it's mine. I don't like using it cuz it smells like old metal so I just admire and look at it lol. It's also very out of tune
That was kinda funny... i started learning three days ago and i tried to isolate one note since. Took less than three minutes of your video to be able to do that, thank you.
VERY awesome videos! Thanks so much for your free course. That is most generous of you! I am 68 and started playing about a week ago. Already got my Special 20 in C from Ebay. Looking forward to learning how to play this thing! Amazing instrument.
I just started playing the harmonica after seeing Robert Plant live, where he killed a harp solo on when the levee breaks! I’m finding your lessons very useful , thank you!
Hey Tomlin, I'm planning on using my harmonica in conjunction with my guitar using a neck holder thing. Should I start by learning with my hands or go straight to that? Thanks for the great video!
One trick that can help is to make the whistle pucker as usual, but tilt the harmonica up towards the nose so that the single hole will be easier to hit as it goes into the crease in The middle of the lower lip- kinda hard to explain properly, but tilt the back of the harmonica up till you are hitting just one note instead of two or more. You are c,owing down the hole of the whistle position even more by doing this.
@PolishArkadas true, me too. I'll be ripping along and thinking it sounds pretty good and then hit several notes at once lol. I'm not,quite ready f9r the stage - won't be for several years I guess, but it's still fun to learn
The first book I got when I got my first tin sandwich taught tongue blocking, so I learned initially that way. I still can't get as good of a tone with lip pursing. I'm not sure why. It also still feels a little bit like playing left handed, but getting better.
If you can bend cleanly while tongue-blocking, maybe don't worry so much about lip pursing. You are already in company with some of the world's best players.
Hey Tom, new sub here and new student, hopefully. You seem like a good teacher. That's what I'm looking for, so we'll give this a try. Thank you for the free lessons! I can't tell you how much I really appreciate that. We're kind of "at ends" right now and that's just what I need. Looking forward to it, Tom. See you soon.
Okay so at the start of the video you demonstrate what most people do but what’s the name of the song you use I really need to know I started playing cuz my grandad played when he was alive and He played that song I just can’t find the name so I can carry on the song
😢like Tomlins teaching sofar looking at his free course conderin singing up on classes lots of other things on you tube to look at and try but course instruction could be helpful
I'm a music teacher and play guitar, bass, ukulele, drums and a little piano. On all of these instruments, there is a time for playing just single notes and a time for playing diads or triads. You just said that when people play multiple notes together on a harmonica, "it doesn't sound very nice" and I am wondering why this is always said about harmonica when more than one note is played at a time. I understand the need to learn how to play single notes as sometimes you will need a single note but are you claiming that people should only play single notes on a harmonica? Multiple notes sound just fine to me and I have almost perfect pitch. Is there not a time for multiple notes on this instrument and a time for single notes like there is with every other instrument that has the ability to play more than one at a time?
thank you! I'm trying to get clean notes for a few days now, sometimes I get it right away,sometimes it takes me ages, but that's how muscle memory works in the beginning, I guess. I'm trying the simplest of songs I could find, my neighbors must hate me by now hahaha anyways,thanks again!
I think I'm UA-cam illiterate. I can never seem to find these links that are advertised in the video below the video. Thank you so much for the free four week offer. Where can I find this link please?
Great lesson, I am worried though that other tutors insist that for beginners you should learn tongue blocking from the start as it’s easier that way and difficult to learn later when you have become used to pursed lip. I must say I trekked tongue blocking for 30 seconds and wanted to give up the harmonica! Thoughts?
Thanks to your video I was able to play some single notes without making mistakes! Started my harmonica journey 3 days ago, and my current mentor did not really emphasize the details on "whistle" form technique. Thanks a bunch
the bend wasnt quite a bend more like a wail country harpblowers bend very well..Mickey Raphael is Willie’s ‘No. 1 harmonica player’ for more than 40 years .

Here's another drug delivery, and the best part about biking through a city like this is that cops don't stand a chance against our boy. What are they gonna do, chase him in a car? On a bike, you fat fucks? Plus, if anyone asks, he works for Uber Eats. Now, if you're wondering how he's able to navigate through the city and execute such complex maneuvers, let's just say he tested out some of the product before his ride; he had about four lines of pure, Colombian cocaine.
Does this work with cheap harmonicas? I have a Silver Creek Black Gold one that i gotnat guitar center for $15. Im having a hard time isolating one hole with the lip pursing.
Hello Tomlin I have heard about different Tunning again and again Examples [7 Limit] Intonation only old models Marine Band Temperament Tunning Golden Melody Compromise Tunning Seydel Tunning I myself couldn't make a big difference Up to 10 cents hardly audible, deviations in tone can only be heard from 15 to 25 cents What is your opinion on this subject ?

What kind of compromised tuning is not such a big deal to me (7 limit intonation, compromise, etc) but I do prefer compromised to equal temp. It makes the chords sound a lot richer. Hope that helps :-)

I’ve been playing homonica. Sine I was 3 yrs old I play just about every instrument my mom showed all my sisters how to play catch us at a farmade near you brokenarrow and war party phlimayA
Thank you so much for this video!!! it has helped me a lot, although I still struggle to get all the right notes on the first try, I improved a lot just through this single video
Hi Tomlin. Awhile back I came across one of your videos where you played each draw bend note to help us learn exactly how they should sound. I can’t find it and was hoping you would provide the link. Your videos are the absolute best on UA-cam! Thanks!
Right before I clicked on this video, literally seconds before, I figured out how to play single notes with the tongue blocking technique. The lip pursing technique is really cool too though!
I just got myself a harmonica on my trip to St. Louis last week, and I've been trying to learn this technique! I heard that there are at least 3 ways to do this! #1, I can cover certain holes with my fingers! #2, I can pucker my lips on the instrument! Or #3, I can cover certain holes with my tongue while playing!

Hi Tomlin Leckie
Please please could you please share Harmonica C notes for 10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord Oh My Soul song)??
Much appreciated.
3 years later, did you stick to it? How good are you at it now?
@tosa1052 what a coincidence, 1 day later and I was gonna ask for an update too
@@L4ngyAgesame I want an update too lol
How are y'all at it now?
Feels like one of my holes is jam when I try to breath in, couldn't breath in at all and it's hard to make a note for that particular hole
moisture build up. Shake it on your palm, then blow in and out.

I feel like flute players would be able to pick up harmonica really easily because the embouchure is pretty similar.
was moving my head haha, your tips already made things sound much clearer! thanks a ton!
They should make note holes 2 inches apart, plenty of room for most lips.
my expectation in playing was easy and now i can't even get a clear note of C😂 it sounds like souls being tortured in hell
Thank you so much!! This really helped, I just got a harmonica from my dad and I really wanna learn how to play it. Thank you 🙌🏻
I'm currently in AIT and have been in a VERY strict quarentine after HBL, so I got a harmonica and am trynna learn for the past couple days.

Hey Tomlin, do you have an advice to play from holes 7 to 10 correctly? Kinda need a lot of air to make them sound.
Yes - play a lot more gently with relaxed air flow - ua-cam.com/video/RH0TUCTP4TI/v-deo.html

What if you can hear your breathe while playing the notes but you’re not breathing heavy?
Drawing is harder than blowing than it is to suck.

Hello Tomlin
I have heard about different Tunning again and again
Examples
[7 Limit] Intonation only old models Marine Band
Temperament Tunning Golden Melody
Compromise Tunning Seydel Tunning
I myself couldn't make a big difference
Up to 10 cents hardly audible, deviations in tone can only be heard from 15 to 25 cents
What is your opinion on this subject ?
Many greetings from Germany
I think there is a big difference between any kind of compromised tuning and equal temperament tuning. What kind of compromised tuning is not such a big deal to me (7 limit intonation, compromise, etc) but I do prefer compromised to equal temp. It makes the chords sound a lot richer. Hope that helps :-)
Many thanks for the answer
So far I've always played Hohner's Golden Melody
Equally tempered mood and knew nothing else
I am currently dealing with mi 7 Limit at the Hohner Crossover.
The difference is not that big with chords, I will continue to deal with the topic
Very interesting

Dale Gribble plays the keyboards. Get it right😊 ! Jk.
Wouldn't pushing the lips out to hear single note just result in tensing the lips? this seems contradictory to all the other "relax the lips" advice.
Maybe i have a small or wrong harmonica, because this is imposible for me, i need my fingers to block the adjacent holes.

What do you use on your lips before playing?
If u can read notes music theory ..y play a harmonica?.do you plug it into that Gert monitor speaker behind you
How come I see everybody playing the harmonica on the net move their head instead of moving the harmonica?
Hi thank u for sharing. Can I ask how to.play d notes. I mean where is Do Re Mi..... Etc
Hi Tomlin. Awhile back I came across one of your videos where you played each draw bend note to help us learn exactly how they should sound. I can’t find it and was hoping you would provide the link. Your videos are the absolute best on UA-cam! Thanks!
That's a mouth organ not a harmonica. Harmonicas have a row of holes across the top that you use your fingers on similar to a flute.
Thank you so much for all the tips! You're a great teacher!
haha...I just left the SAME comment...you and me?..:brothers!
I struggle to make the higher pitch notes make sound when I'm sucking air, any idea on how to get it right?

Right before I clicked on this video, literally seconds before, I figured out how to play single notes with the tongue blocking technique. The lip pursing technique is really cool too though!
Brother I want to learn harmonica,

I just got myself a harmonica on my trip to St. Louis last week, and I've been trying to learn this technique! I heard that there are at least 3 ways to do this! #1, I can cover certain holes with my fingers! #2, I can pucker my lips on the instrument! Or #3, I can cover certain holes with my tongue while playing!
Hi bro tomlin, why do i feel headache after blowing the harmonica?
