i havent played the harmonica in probably 15 years, but this video got me all excited again.. it reminded me of neil young on bbc when he talks about all of his gear.. looked it up for this comment, so for anyone interested here it is: ua-cam.com/video/HCAlUNmgZtU/v-deo.html
I think, what's often left out is that to play in 2nd/3rd/etc position you need to re-write the tabs or use the seydel tab converter tool, there is no "skill" to do it automatically unless you are a supercomputer or a japanese
Thanks! I have loads of beginner blues videos, just check my channel... here's a simple blues solo to get you started - ua-cam.com/video/PG42U88-aBw/v-deo.html
Liam Watt (,excuse my spelling).Please advise me;I have a brand new Hohner CX12 jazz.One note would not play at all but if I remove the cover/outer casing and blow on that note it plays perfectly well and I just don't get a solution for the problem.Could you please advise as to what I should do.In our town there are no "harmonica mechanics"for lack of a better word.Much obliged.Leon Lombard,South Africa.
Liam…help please. Someone has asked to ply long to song but it’s in the key of Bbm…… any idea what key harmonica I would need for this please. I normally just play second position so A for E and D for A ect but this one has thrown me. Can this be done in 3rd position or will I have to buy a Bbm harp. Thankyou. Great lesson by the way. Cheers
Hi, thanks for the question and for watching my video 😎 You can play in Bbm in 3rd position on an Ab harp. You could also play in 2nd on an Eb harp but you'd have to be more careful which notes you hit as some would come out too "major". I hope this helps!
It is there. Click in the grey coloured box above. There is a link labelled FREE HARMONICA CHEAT SHEET. Fill in your name and email address and the 'cheat sheet' will be emailed to you as a .PDF Conditional, but still free.
Don't be a cheater, become a chromatic harmonica player. With new valveless chromatic harps you can get to play the most beautiful blues. Please rise above the diatonic level, one chromatic=12 diatonics.
omg ..he makes it sound so complicated I couldn't watch the whole video ...confusing ...I'm self taught ...Just take a harp and play what you feel and play by ear :)

Thank you very much for time and effort.
You are welcome!
I’m at a medium ability, (one more way to get single notes is to put the harp at a 45° angle) great class !!
Am begenner and struggle to get single hole. Could you help in
Thank you!!! I was struggling to play single notes until I found your comment, it is simple yet mindblowing for me!! Thanks

It sounds like the reeds are stuck. Try to loosen them with a toothpick or small nail. I am happy to fix it for free if you can mail it to me.
Coooooooool😊
But I can't see the hole numbers when the harmonica is in my mouth and I can't feel them with my lips.
Try putting one finger the holes on either side of the number you want to play.
@@AdamWestUS You must have a big mouth then eh! 🤣
I find u blocking easier than the first and second One, my mouth hurts when I do these
Nice, stick with U block then 😎
the link does not work

Can't relate to this, trying to, what positions are they? Too complicated.
I can't do the tongue techniques... I taste metal
See a doctor!
Great lesson. You teach very well and precise. And you are a very pretty man. 👍
Still totally confused by positions: 1st position, 2nd position etc, makes no sense at all.
Hopefully this video will help - ua-cam.com/video/QIzhQJiXeMU/v-deo.html
Ahhhh...yuk
I’m not good at it

I’d love to see a video on your channel about that!
I'm cheating
Do both.
@@graylad Yes, do both, the new valveless forerunner 2 can do anything.
I'd love to see a video demonstration!

You've found the trick of the world... make everything seem difficult and complicated... causing us to give up, put on our masks, and baaaaaa....
How da fuq do I do that ? 🤔 😆🤣😂😹
@unverifiedverified4418 you have to be able to breathe through your ears
I must agree with the others…cannot find the “sheets” and the rest is confusing to say the least. Sorry…dislike.
Any tips for the triangle 🤣🤣🤣
Step 1. Buy a triangle.
