I started to learn harmonica when I sow harp summit 98 all my harp heroes was there,I learned tonque blocking from start I am In to the blues but this man is unbelievable! He and Victor Wooten bassist you can learn so much from those guys
Great exercise, Howard! It's funny...whenever I play the 2 draw and then the 3 blow, or vice-versa, I think I'm making some sort of a mistake, even now, after playing for 16 years!
When I just listen to what you are playing, the diffrent patterns give me diffrent feelings.. Some sound curious and one sounds spooky. One sounds like a cloudy day to me.
Ok, it sounds curious but I can't figure out how this helps me targetting the right notes. I don't see it. On the contrary, after practicing this exercise I'm totaly confused as to which note is where on the harmonica. What should be the general lesson and help of this exercise? That notes are located in a non-uniform way on the instrument? Sorry, but I knew that already.
I have often had "in my head" that notes from one hole ....Say 6 to 7, seemed to be further apart mechanically. But logic told me the holes are the same distance from a mechanical design. It still is difficult to force myself to realize that when practicing. Weird.
Howard legend,maestro pianist and harp player,still such a nice guy

Great to find this channel, I'm an apprentice of harmonica, a Hohner Crossover in C which gives me a lot of fun.
Very interesting on how deep one can learn on this very curious instrument. And you Mr Howard bring this out, Thank You!

Sorry, but I knew that already.
I thought you mentioned you had books to support your videos. I looked at the shop and only saw cool T-shirts and hats. Do you have Books for sale?
Absolutely! You can find “Rhythms of the Breath” on Amazon.
