    UNREAL!! I'm learning this song because chemotherapy left me with the inability to play my guitar. I'm picking it up so I can still contribute to the band aside from vocals. You are very insightful! Best lesson I've seen so far :-)

      Hey Bro, play that harp with all your heart. I have GBM. I had a Craniotomy. Radiation and Chemotherapy. You can play that no matter where. or when.
      I have 42 songs. athe Skill sets she's teaching is a big deal. TONGUE BLOCKING can be difficult at first. I have fat lips and use the fat of my lips to isolate holes. Try looking at fingerstyle guitar on UA-cam and play along. Find a favorite and have fun.

    Anna, I usually don't like cover bands but Zepparella is awesome. To take the challenge of Mastering the Music and vocals of the Greatest Rock Band in the World, it is amazing what the group Zepparella has achieved. I also play the Harmonica, Saxophone, Clarinet, Keyboard / Piano. I love the feeling of performing in front of a live audience. It has been forty six years since I have done that. I keep a Harmonica near my tool box in my garage. Sometimes I take a break from working on my cars & trucks and crank out a tune, just to relieve the stress. It works. Keep up the good work. Never stop playing.

    Shucks, many of us that have played harmonica for years have accidentally played one upside down. There is even a video of Sonny Boy Williamson 2 that did it. He just smiled , flipped it around and got into the tune he was playing. BTW Love you ladies and the way cool music you are putting out :)

ALL of what you say here, is spot on. Feel and time to practise is key for the harp. Your explanatory style here is perfect for any aspiring player. Thanks so much. X

    Legend has it that "Percy" Plant nicked Sonny Boy Williamson's harmonica from his dressing room at a concert in England back in the early 60's because he had told him to F-Off after asking for his autograph whilst in the men's washroom. And the rest is as they say, history...Great lesson even for seasoned players.

    Hey there Anna C .. I saw Zeppelin live at the Earls court London gigs .. in the 70's Im 64 & back then I had the long blonde curly hair .. but was a gtr player .. Plus I used to live in London & one day I saw Bob or Rubber plant as he was nicknamed & we were crossing the street from opposite directions in a crowd .. he instantly realised that I had recognised him & smiled & nodded & I did the same .. But anyway I wanted to thank you for your harmonica lesson .. really gr8 .. I started learning on my 60th birthday & I used tp practice while walking my collie dogs in the Forest where my wife & I live .. I stuck a bit of easy peel off electrical tape on the top with a fold where my 1st finger & the 4th hole would match up .. & I used to pretend I was working on a chain gang like a work song shuffle & experiment like that .. We have wild Boar in the Forest & it keeps them away .. my wife says it's because I am the biggest Bore in the Forest .. Lol .. But my 1st Harmonica lesson was from Sandi Thom a fellow Scot singer Songwriter .. who is brilliant talented gorgeous and was generously giving free harmonica lessons with that " it's easy try it " attitude .. Passing it on .. is to my mind the sign of a real musician .. I love the Band .. Have you seen sheryl Crows version of " Rock N Roll " when she stands on the Piano .. .. Thanks again for the harmonica tips .. Give my love to all the girls .. bye stay safe & stay strong

    Re: playing upside down, on the Chess Little Walter compilation, 0:50 into "As Long As I Have You," the first note of his solo is draw 9, then he immediately jumps to draw 2, really an oddball riff, but suggesting he started upside down, and quickly flipped for the rest of the solo - masterfully incorporating a mistake that he controls to great effect. Never panic, act like it was all intentional, Rock On!

    seriously, the first four minutes alone are worth the price of admission alone (of course, being free content--I've more or less negated my own statement....moving on)....but for real, they may seem like small points but if you've ever tried to fumble, smile and joke your way thru any gear malfunction like breaking a string etc, and little pointers or suggestions as simple as marking the top of your harp, and labeling it to be venue-lighting (i.e. dark corner in a bar 98% time) friendly..all essential tips. I can only hope anyone shedding this song finds this video first. Thank you so very much.

    Hi Anna, thank you for these lessons. I am 56 years old and have always been a huge Led Zeppelin fan. I just discovered Zepparella and Oh Wow what an amazing group. In the back of my mind I've always wondered what a female version of Zeppelin would sound like now I know. I have cardiovascular and heart trouble and am wondering if I would ever be able to play harmonica? I loose my breath just taking short walks. Perhaps it might be good therapy for me? Zeppelin produced so much amazing material but When the Levee Breaks has got to be one of my all time favorites because of the amazing harmonica licks. Love your work thank you from now a huge Zepparella fan too.
