Here is the thing. I've got my first harmonica bout 10 days ago.
And watching many teachers all this days...
All of them teach some sort of train....
But somehow... I knew when i find the Will Wilde train lesson... It for sure would be the best....
And here we are... I was right. 😂
Thanks a lot Will !
I remember when I was a kid and the Cream Wheels of fire album came out. Traintime was one of the first songs I learned to play.
Funny sound, i will try this tomorrow🤗💤❤
Thanks dude. Great explanation.
Will. All your tutorials/lessons/signature licks, (your body of work as a whole is outstanding). To my rudimentary understanding of music, and way of thinking, I feel that this tutorial on chugging is really one of your most important, because it's a teaching of one of the keystone foundational techniques in harmonica playing. From this chugging foundation you open the door to learning, developing rhythmic breathing patterns, which also opens the door to learning the techniques of maintaining our air balance, and learning to use our diaphragm so as to enable us to maintain a proper rhythm pattern. I've only been playing the harp for 4 years, but I find that often going back to practice chugging, with single notes and different rhythm patterns advances my playing as much, and at times more so than learning a more complex piece of music. So 3 cheers to you for laying this lesson out there, and exhibiting that foundational pieces have an important role to play. Lastly, since you asked about some music ideas I would appreciate some John Lee Williamson (Sonny Boy 1), such as "Sloppy Drunk Blues", or some signature licks of his. Your tutorial on "Good Morning Little School" is awesome, and thanks for doing that.
Holy lungs of fire......good exercise
Great lesson Will, THANKS!
The Sonny Terry train is tough.
Thank you very much
Just found this, I am a beginner and have viewed many other sites and I definitely liked your style, multiple variations and easy to follow... thanks, will check out your website.
Still working on it. Thanks for this lesson.
No problem!
Thanks Will..totally cool
Thanks, glad you liked it
Hey. Thanks. You've taught me some really awesome training techniques that I'm sure I will be practicing for some time before I perfect them. First time I've ever seen you on here. I look forward to learning more with your videos as I get better.
Thanks, welcome to the channel!
Just found this. Thank you so much! I also Love your wilde tuned harps, but as a beginner and without any kind of advice like a songbook, I hesitate to buy one.
Wow Will
Awesome
Thanks so very much.
It looks as if you are playing hard ,even though you are not
Sonny Terry: "Wooop!"
You can certainly throw some of them in there too!
thanks Will....great video mate
Hello Will, thank you very much for the video, I just love this chugging style of mixing chords and unique notes, if you can make more videos teaching for example what you do at 7:40, I am grateful thanks, greetings from Brazil!
Thank you very much Will. Really enjoy your hard rock style videos.
Thanks Frank!
Thanks will a great tutorial, very well explained, thank you for sharing.
Cheers Roy!
Dang you make it look so easy , awesome and cool!
Thanks Steven!
@@willharmonicawilde Same here. Even if i study for a short periods of time between my work and everyday activities, I keep adding more and more ability as i play it.
Cheers

Awesome video lesson! I love chugging and have been looking for something like this to work on in my playing. Just ordered one of your Wilde tuned harps in A, can't wait to get it in! I know there are a million lessons on bends, but would you consider doing a video on getting clean, articulate bends specifically?
Good lesson bro i like tukka (inbreath) toodle out thats sounds pretty good or too chukka he haw chukka only out breath is he...
Will Wilde. How about this idea for a tutorial idea : William Clarke's " Pawnshop Bound ". This would be awesome ! ! Just to even hear you play this tune with your harmonica abilities would be spectacular ! ! What a tutorial it would be. Maybe it would be a good one for a "Wilde tuned " harmonica ?
Good suggestion, thanks!
Love this vid, man, saw few others on chugging and like yours best. Watched few other vids of yours and like your style of explaining and the balance of feel/theory/presentation. Well done! Looking forward to progressing more so I can make use of your other vids.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it. More teaching videos to come, so don't forget to subscribe!
@@willharmonicawilde absolutely, subscribed already!
Mate how about the walking blues by paul butterfeild 😊😊😊 that will be a tough one but worth it or even your own version of it
Hi Will, great video! How do you know when you can add chugging in a song that you are playing?
Thanks will. For me is really hard to control the breath. I mean is almost drawing cannot find where to push out the air 😂. Any suggestions?
I both love and hate your videos, it's sickening how good you are on the tin Sandwich. Did you spend a lot of time building up speed with a metronome when you were beginning?
thanks for the video will, a tutorial of some of your songs would be great, also I have a question do you use the F key in any of your songs?
Great video Will. This is the first one if yours I have watched and I am now subscribed. I have practicing this for a few days now and I have been having trouble with regulating my breath as most of this is on a draw I got seem to release on the blow. I try to blow and draw from the diaphragm whilst playing but I just end up inflating. I really like your teaching style so do you have a video on breathing techniques? Keep up the great content, I'll be watching it out for more lessons
Thanks Rob, this video might help: ua-cam.com/video/lQfLPn1TkzY/v-deo.html
I also have an older video called "how to avoid running out of breath" which might be helpful
@@willharmonicawilde thanks buddy I've just watched the first one 👍
Another thing you can do is open your mouth more when playing the blow notes to let more air leak out as you’re playing them. That helps get rid of more air when it’s mostly draw notes.
Hi Will! I would like to know how to coordinate breathing in chigging, when I try to increase speed, I fill up with air and can't find the time to expel it. Thanks!
I breath out through my nose as well when I find this happening.
Lovin’ it. I like the Sonny Terry technique as well. I use “I could eat a chicken tikka” and repeat it quite a lot but I could do with some ideas for more intermediates to see what kind of licks/ phrases that go well with the chugging chords.
Thanks Les. Check out my video "Sonny Terry Signature Licks" for some licks to go with this. Any blues scale or major pentatonic licks will work though.
Ah, forgot about that, I've seen it before so I'll check it out again. Nice one

Will. How do you go so fast and not over inflate your lungs with so many draw notes?
Let air leak out of the sides when playing blow notes. Helps get rid of extra air.
very nice, would you suggest lip percing or tongue blocking
to play single holes?
I would start with lip pursing, but I would reccomend learning tongue block too eventually, both have their uses.
thank you

I prefer to say: "mudder fudder", but my mom gets angry whenever I do that...
Hi Will! I was just thinking about you and your video popped up! :) lol! I was just practicing and trying to figure out how far my lips need to be pursed out for good tone on the harmonica. I noticed that you don't go out very far, which is the way I have been doing it, but I was wondering if I needed to strengthen to purse out like a gorilla...lol! I have thinner lips and a smaller mouth, and have heard that the harmonica needs to be deep in the mouth for good tone...so I was trying to figure all this out? I play clear notes when I play normally, but when I really purse like a gorilla, lol, then it feels like a new learning process to get clear notes. So I was wondering if I have to strengthen my mouth to purse out like a gorilla.? It is rather funny, but I was actually hoping for some clarification here. :)
Hi Mary Beth, it's important that there shouldn't be any tension in the lips, they should stay soft and relaxed. When you pucker, it is literally like puckering to give someone a kiss... The inner wet part of the lip should be in contact with the cover plates to give you a good seal around rhe harp and allow you to slide easily. I hope that helps.
@@willharmonicawilde Okay Will, thank you much. That clarifies it for me. I was on the right track, so now I have to focus on relaxing the lips, which is what I thought, but is easier said than done! LOL! I really appreciate your help Will! And this is a great video you did! I got my "A" harmonica from you a few days ago and going to check it out today. I am looking forward to it!! :) Thank you again!! :)

My train doesn't go fast 😂
Lol. Keep practicing!
