- Part 1. Everyone was asking for beginning harmonica instruction so here it is in a short three part series. Taken from a three year old instructional video that never saw the light of day until now.

Who would of thought I’d be watching this 15 years later 🎉
Not me!!!! 😆
@@jasonricci time flys when you’re having fun 😺
you're a far better teacher then the other videos ive watched and the books ive read.
thanks for the inspiration!
That is very touching! I have nothing to say back but thanks for pulling me out of my little selfish world and letting me hear this! Tell that boy all the tone comes from inside and hand vibrato is for old timers and cowboys!
Look at you in this one Jason, looking like you just got your license 😜
You’re awesome.
😆 🤣 😂
"Tell that boy all the tone comes from inside and hand vibrato is for old timers and cowboys!"
Perfect, Jason.
That's just what I was looking for.
Thanks again.
Man, I´m just beginning, but I wanna tell you that your lessons are helping me here in Brazil to learn to play harmonica. Thanks a lot!
Nice! We're so lucky to have UA-cam.
Loved it. Great videos. Subscribed! Thank you and have a great week ahead
Thank you!
Caught your awesome show at Telluride last fall. Jason, the way you rocked at that altitude, you must have some super human lungs. Now, influenced by you and Mr. Mel Melton, I am learning to play blues harp. Thanks for sharing the techniques behind the magic and your anguish in "Broken Toy." You are an amazing talent!
Thank you so much Jason. I am a women 58 old living in Switzerland AND NO MORE ABLE TO HAVE A JOB BECAUSE OF SICKNESS but now I will realise my dream as I see I have time. One week ago I bought C D and G blues harps and since I exercize each day and look at the Net. I missed lesson for breathing now I found it by you. My mothertongue is not english so sorry for mistakes. I subscribed your lessons. Please have you any good type for me? I have not enough words to give you sincere compliments. chSt
Yep, I brought three friends. My friend really liked the "Broken Toy" song. Some of the music was a little too heavy for my girl friend but I had a good time. I'm playing guitar in a Christian band for homeless people downtown Orlando and I'm learning the harmonica right now. Thanks for all the inspiration. God bless you buddy. P.S. RJ Harman did a great job opening for you
So many years ago!
I play guitar since I was fifteen, now that I'm almost twenty-three I felt the urge to discover new sounds and I found on a shelf an old arrow C harmonica... I tried to play it and in order to find some inspiration I searched the web for some lessons and I found this GREAT video! By the way, me and my friends really liked "Done With The Devil"! That overdriven harmonica sounds adds a more passionate mood to the songs... Cheers from Italy! Rock on, man! :-)
Can say nothing that hasnt' been said before, just want to say thx for all the videos you make and share with the world.
Huge thank you. I've been playing since I was ten and never learned most of this stuff. I can't get enough. -- Keith
Thank you so much your english is just fine! Comments like yours and lives like yours are the reasons I make these videos. Keep watching and keep writing...I will do my best to answer any questions you might have.
Jason
Started playing because of steven tyler, learned to play because of you....you fekkin ROCK bro...keep up the awesome job. I hope to catch your show when i get back from Afghanistan.
awesome the best harmonica sound's i ever hear!! keep it up men its fantastic!!!!
Thank ⚜️ You ❤️
I gotta say I just love listening to u play
Jason, hi
When my son decided to try the harp I instantly thought of you. So hopefully you'll be teaching him stuff that he'll enjoy for ever.
He's quadriplegic, so he'll be using a neck-style holder rather than his hands.
Just wanted to let you know that you're banking good karma!
And to say thank you.
Don't worry about Jason's hair, I've known/followed him for years and it will change next week. Also if the Adam you referred to is Gussow, don't kid yourself when he let's loose, he plays a way mean harp! Just more true blues.
Man the way you control the tempo is awesome ,.
Hello Jason so I was thinking that if I want to go to the next level in playing the harmonica and getting the free on line lessons it has to be you ,you have a unique way of teaching and you are very good at both playing and teaching ,I started by playing the harmonica by tongue blocking and notice in 2007 2008 that I like to play single note lol but there’s so much more to learn on this little harmonica
Thanks for all your videos and all you do
Ok, I "discovered" you last Friday and lo and behold you are playing the Plaza Theatre in Orlando tomorrow night! I will be there and bringing friends too. Thanks for all the help man
Man, that dude is good!
i just wanted to tell u what an amazing performance you delivered in sacramento for spah. sacramento needs more talent coming through and please come back. also loved steve baker
you blew me away
no words....blues on lips....
Very nice impro! last thing I heard before actually going to by my first harp!! Hope to be as good some day!!
This is great =D everywhere i look on harmonica practise. I can only find songs, like jingle bells. But some breath practise is great! Thanks for Putting this up!! :)
Jason,
Thank God you started with tone!
I hate harp players who start without this fundmental aspect of learning.
Nice little starter piece as well.
Cheers

The 70s called, they want their shirt back! Just kidding, GREAT lesson! Thanks for posting. I'm gonna get this even if it kills me!
You Rock my friend! Thanks for the support. Steven Tyler rocks too.... Be safe getting home to us!
J
Just RIPPIN' thanks Jason!
fucking killed it man! nice funky little groove.
Hmmm..
Maybe you should address this, Jason.
You could be remembered as the guy
who forever changed the world of harping.
Maybe work with a manufacturer to develop
teflon-coated cover plates.
Or Ricci snap-on cover plate covers,
something like those iPod skins.
Or how about Ricci Lip Glide,
a sort of hybrid lip gloss/personal lubricant...
Great Vid, thanks for the post. Very in depth.
Hey Jason it's a difference but fun.
Greetz
This video inspires me.
hello from MUSIC MART. you rock !
Thanks Music Mart!
Thank you very very much.!!
Jason
dude!! you're awsomeeee, after watching this vid i went and bought a harmonica maan, I'm learning on my own hahahaha
Очень завораживающая музыка. Буду ждать Новых композиций.
thanks, awesome lesson!
- That's pretty cool! :D
Nice finish on that Dot Studio.
awesome *__*
cause of that i bought my first Harmonica 10 secs ago (:
keep posting ;)
just saw you at the blues fest, AMAZING
old school j.r. ... sweet
@GrumpyGet, if you haven't figured it out in the last two months, go for the cross harp. lots of youtube material for playing blues in cross harp.
@00boz Exactly the same here! (except for the 'learned' part, for that is still in progress).
Cool.
Cheers to Ricci and Tyler!
Very helpful. Could you give hole by hole demo of a pentatonic scalefor the harp?
Yes, That harmonica is called a tremolo harmonica and its not supposed to play single notes.
Great video!
thanks for facebook friending me brother!thanks for being such a great teacher!
Cool...
This one happens not to be customized minus a little work I did on it open the backs setting gaps etc...Thanks for watching this ancient vid!
*cough cough* holy shit that beginning part made me nearly faint. That was epic.
wooow cool
it is my first day learning harmonica and i typed "harmonica tutorial" on youtube. i didnt know you can use it this way
3rd way to play is U-blocking. Norton Buffalo used this style. I do think the pucker offers more options when playing. I started out as a u blocker, but now working hard to get the pucker style.
thats the harmonica i got!
Sorry I've been busy sometimes I actually will wet the harp...but I think more or less after time you just get use to developing some kind of subconcious lubrication system...It's actually a great question becuase i'm afraid i don't really have an answer.The reeds STILL get stuck often(With Me)especially when I'm playing too hard from spit ...Playing softer and relaxing will give you just as much volume and more control less spit in the reeds and I THINK(Not Sure)more lubrication or less need
waooo! wonderful!!!
Like, share and subscribe. Thank you.
Can you Improve on perfection?? Fast forward to 2023 😮😮😮
Awe man too sweet!!!
A-HA! I should have start watching your vids from here. But I didnt😂 doesnt matter, heres a cup of coffee 😎
😆
Thanks man!
There's no 2 videos of this guy with the same hair-do!
fredo gumbo lol 😂 nice
great vid has inspired me. A am prob an intermediate guitar player and I'm looking at learning the harp to go along with it. I play alot of acoustic blues stuff mostly in E. Should I go for a harp in the key of E or dgo for something known as "cross-harp" and get one in A. I'm a bit confused...........any help/ideas anyone?
@HeIsLegend14 golden melody
hey, thanks for the lesson man it was awesome but i think you didn't specify how to lippurse.... i mean... do you do it putting your mouth just like when you whistle or do you do it other way ???? cause I got a C harmonica and a little paper came with it that said that the "whistle style" was a way t
hey, today i bought my first diatonic c harmonica, i start to play 2 hours ago, and i can play the basic blues riff (3d 4b 3d+blending 3b 3b 3b) and loveme do-the beatles,,, is that good, or normal?
good video, but technically diatonic means each hole has two notes, one on draw and the other on blow. by no means limited.
this is insane!!!!!!!
anything you do in music can be explained in theory. thats what theory is. there arent any restrictions because theory isnt rules. but please, tell me exactly what restrictions you think theory has. list them out please.
This is the first lesson, -1 or -2 may be is something simple?
That will do it.
Thanks did you make it out?
J
theory is used to explain music and help us understand music, not make music. if you know theory, you have a better understanding of how music works. when you have a better understanding, its easier to solo and make songs and make more complicated songs.
is this harmonica a custom made? i mean i know you customize all yours, pretty much. I have a Hohner Bluesband in C, and I'm wondering how you get it to play that great, raw sound instead of the tin-ey "fresh from the box" sound.
Maestro
thanks man yeah mostly all improv there...I'd have to watch and stop the video and relearn it to play it again. Thanks!
Jason
...was a way that allowed you to play single notes, but in the video it doesn;t seem like you're whistle styling....anyway... i hope you can specify, or clarify that, thanks... i really wanna learn how to whistle style but i only know how to tongue block
I am about to purchase my first harmonica and I want to know what you think about the suzuki bluesmaster as a first harmonica?
Paul Gilbert's doppelganger plays Harmonica? I'm not surprised.
hello thank you for sharing , in this lesson harmonica type what use? diatonic or chromatic ...
diatonic
Key of C
Thanks Theo! RJ Rules!
Amazing! Thank you! It will be a great pleasure for me to meet you here in Zurich the next time you will come: you can send me a mail via youtube before. ;) we have already 2 thinks to share!!! Best regards.
jason help me out herein the c scale the flat third is an ed what note do you hit do yo have to over blow the ed
cool : )
i'm getting my first harmonica, in what key should i get it
What kind of harmonica do I have if it plays the C major scale but also has an extra two notes? So it plays C D E F G A B C D E
diatonic means 2 noted
@00boz I started playing because of Bruce Willis :D
Excellent video.🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈🐈🐈🐈93
can you put up the tabs for a couple of riffs? thanks
Shite..this is going to be a lot harder than I thought!
no manches buay!
seriously - what technique to start for best benefits later on - lip blocking or puckering lips.
I AM AN ABSOLUTE BEGINNER...so.
