This song uses the Key C
I owe my musical pathways to this harmonica Riff. When I was 13yrs old I heard this on a television commercial and something inside me said you need to do this…..
Many years later my harmonica skills have toured me around the world selling over 150k albums and also taught over 30k students with my 67 lessons harmonica course called ‘Press Play & Blow Away’.

I’m so grateful to play the harmonica and would say it is one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Im still learning new licks & tricks everyday.
Feels so special to be able to share these lessons with you. I hope playing the harmonica puts a spark in your life that shines for the rest of your life.
Keep learning and having fun!

I just bought a harmonica a couple of days ago, because I sit in a forklift all night on an industrial site in Northern Canada. But, I'm not that busy. It's no place for me to bring my guitar, and I've always wanted to learn a harmonica. And if you think about it, it's pretty ridiculous that there's this weird character, in the dark, sitting in a forklift, playing a harmonica.
So, I was looking around on UA-cam, and I found you. Since then I've been entertaining the heck out of myself in my forklift, because I've been learning from your videos.
But that's not why I'm taking the time to write a comment on here. The reason I'm writing a comment is because I want to tell you, that you're maybe one of the coolest people I've ever seen do any kind of instructional video on UA-cam. Just your vibe, is so awesome. You are definitely a very rad human being!
Thanks mate. I think your very cool jamming when you get the chance. Keep having fun!
I am 85, my sister and daddy played but I never tried . This makes me want to get one and see what I can do. You are FANTASTIC👍❤️🙏!
That’s great. I would recommend this lesson first as it is easier. m.ua-cam.com/video/atTJlGR6K9w/v-deo.html just need key C harmonica. If you need one please check out

Still 85yrs young 😊
Great job. Will move from melody to enlarged chords.
Tks😅
It's never too late to start, you can do it!
Carolyn i just started today is my third day practicing ❤
👏👏👏👏👏 I hope you be always safe ❤❤❤
A good teacher makes you believe that you can do something and enthuses confidence and belief, this man is cool.
Thanks 😊
@@JuzzieSmithUA-camwhat kind of microphone you are using. I never saw this one.
Never thought I would be saying I'm so glad I have this in my algorithm.
That is an iconic riff and I'm now dusting of the 10 hole to master it. You are amazing teacher and listen to your music while I ride my motorbike coz it got soul. 😊
Thanks. Have fun learning 🎶
I mean I'm trying.. u make it look easy
Love this lick. I never could get the guitar and harmonica together. I spent the late 60s and early 70s driving across Texas at night traveling from one rodeo to the next holding the steering wheel with my knees playing country songs on the harp.
Your the best teacher out there! It shows how much you love what you’re doing. Take care.
Thanks 😊
Juzzie Thanks for sharing !!
Thank you! I have never heard anyone play as well as my grandmother - I wish I had a recording of it. Yours is the first lesson I can follow, so I hope to take your formal lessons soon!
You’ve got me dude !
Childhood dream of mine to play like this - I’m on it - thank you !
That’s great 👍
Me too!
Thank you for showing us a very simple riff. I've been playing around with the harmonica for a couple of years and really enjoy it. I play only by ear and would love to see more of your videos on riffs for the blues. You make it easy to understand how to either draw or blow on the sound that is needed. Thank you.
Great you learn by ear. I’ll keep posting so stay connected 😊
What a really pleasant teacher, great personality, I’m looking for my blues harp right now. Thank you.
You are such a legend bro, genuinely smiling and learning and you have a great way teaching. Big thanks from a beginner.
I got a harmonica a month or two ago. I learned this riff from this video in a day, it blew my wife away that " I had gotten so good so fast" what she doesn't know won't hurt her. You are the man. Can't wait to amaze her some more after watching your videos. YOU ARE THE MAN.
Haha. That’s great. Keep surprising her 😁
I was privileged to hear Paul Jones of the 60s group Manfred Mann and he could sure play harmonica ❤
Juzzie your a talented artist and someone everyone can relate to. You have a love of music and it shows . It Brings out the best in us beginners and makes us want to learn . You found your calling . Thank you . Keep the videos coming .
Thanks Randy 😊
This man's vibe is pure bliss and love. He is Godly.
Most likely the coolest video I have ever watched on UA-cam. Do not watch it in a rush!!!
Thanks 😊
Because of you (and Gussow, Wilde, Ricci etc;))i made people happy this weekend . Thank you.
At 66 you got me alllll Revved up on the C Harp Juzzie! Whoooooooooooooooooooo Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
That’s great. Have fun 😊
Honestly I've wanted to learn the harmonica for years as I always though it was such a cool instrument. I bought one a few months ago and kind of gave up pretty quickly when I realised how long it must take to master. However, your videos are so easy to watch and understand, and then there's how good you make them sound, you've given me a second wind to stick with it. Much love.
That’s great Scott. Just play 15min each day and you will go a long way 👍
Awesome mate love the video.
If I may suggest when starting…if you overplay your lips and mouth get tired until they “muscle up” and your lips develop “calluses”. I got frustrated at first until I got past that. 15 mins is a good start.
So Good, please put more classes guitar and harmonica, you are the best👏👏
Learning to play at 46..love the sound of blues on the harmonica.. Will b watching intensely...
Great. 46 yrs young 🎶
Thank you for sharing! You make it fun.
When I first discovered your music and personality, I was an immediate fan.
Thank you for your contribution to the ocean of talent with your amazing perspectives!
Thanks Mark 😊
I love this rift and your way of teaching. It’s simple enough for me to grab a hold of it. I’ve been blowing the harmonica for a while, but have never been able to play along with a blues riff. I love this sound so much.❤
Just to say, after a couple days, it’s getting better and better! I am enjoying this so much.
Picked up a harmonica for the 1st time 2 weeks ago ...after watching one of your performances on youtube ...now absolutely addicted to learning it .Thankyou for the inspiration
That’s great. Keep having fun
Very cool. Your clear passion and joy for music is infectious. 🤠
Juzzie Smith, You are the BEST !!
A good friend who played harmonica for 65 years recently passed away. He could make the instrument
walk and talk, and was a joy to hear, solo, or with the many musicians he jammed with over the years.
When she learned that he played harmonica, the doctor in the ICU put together a multi-hour blues
harmonica play list, to help ease his passing into the next world... Bless her heart...
Some time later, his friends discovered his legacy, a mini-SD card [ one-quarter the size of a postage stamp ]
containing hours of his playing and jamming, material for a CD he never got to put together...
OMG, What a Treasure ! His friends will be playing along at his memorial...
You have made me sooooooo happy! I have wanted to be able to play that for about 20 years, finally bought a harmonica and with your help I am doing it!!!! Didn’t think I would be able to do that EVER! Thank you so much!!!!!
That’s great. Keep playing! 😊
You know how to transmit your passion, it's really cool to learn with you and your good mood. Thanks again!
💯
My father bought me a harp when I was eight years old and he taught me the easiest tune to learn on a harmonica "three blind mice" I mastered that tune in a day and I've been playing the instrument ever since and I am currently teaching my grandson's to play anything they want just like their grandpappy 😉
That’s great 😊
I pick up the bass last April (2022), never play a instrument in my 63 years. I know play in the band at our church and have sat in on a few jams. The mouth harp has always been on my list. Yes Muddy Waters’, “Manish Boy”, is THE song. You can Juan, improve lyrics etc. Your tutorial earned my subscription.
I love listening to you play (and teach).
You are an awesome talent that i frequently share.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Hey, I'm from Bali, Indonesia, I'm 68 years old, just learning harmonica🫢.
Surprised to find someone like you who is so much fun to watch, so friendly, so simple; the people around you must be so much fun too.
I can't move from note to note beautifully yet, but with the help of your video, I will keep practicing.
When you get a chance to travel to Bali, please let me know, best regards🙏🙏🙏
I've enjoyed watching your instructional videos. My uncle was a harmonica player. He passed away recently and I inherited his case of harmonicas. I've thought of learning to play them and after watching your videos; I think its time to begin. Thank you for sharing your gift of talent.
Thanks. Great you now have a harmonica collection. I’m sure your uncle would be happy 😊
Do it! You won't regret it.
Enjoy,if u got them passed down,clean them and then enjoy them,my all got ripped off at a house party in1972,am still pissed Abt it😢😢😢😢
Cool Life story, thanks
Turned. 77 a couple weeks back. Harmonica set gifted to me because I love the blues. Your tutorial has got me hungry… thanks pal!
That’s great. I look forward to hear how your going. Have fun!
Thank you so much for a good start for a 71 year old harmonica player wanna. Ordered my C harp.
That’s great. Have fun!
I can't express how good is this
Love you Juzzie, we are true musicians we play because we love it !!!😎👍🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶
Wow, I’ve been working with your videos to help me learn to play harmonica. I’ve been at it for about a month now and the fact that I am able to follow along with you and I’m beginning to understand your “short hand”, I’m really, really enjoying this journey. I’m a 59 year old man who has never been musically inclined and here I am actually learning how to play an instrument. I am beyond grateful for the knowledge that you have been sharing with us and I am looking forward to seeing all of your videos and eventually engaging in your classes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You are an Awesome Artist. Be well.
Just did a road trip with my daughter. Stopped at the cumberland gap and bought a harmonica. Seems as though Juzzie will be my teacher. Thank you for breaking so much down in your videos.
That’s great 👍
I stumbled across this video and honestly can’t remember how I ended up here lol. I have played guitar so long it just comes naturally. So music is in my blood and I said what would be a fun add on instrument. So one day on a trip I stopped by Cracker Barrel and picked a cheap 10$ harmonica and had a lot of fun. Well I was gifted one in the key of E and had good intentions for it but I never was able to get it to do what i wanted to do with it. This video was one of those were it’s like oh it was that simple but I would never had figured it out. Great video. You did an excellent job explaining how to play. Now I wish I still had my harmonica in the hey of C lol.
What a great lesson. I'm 70 years old and I'm straight to the music store to buy a harp. Cheers
That’s so cool 👍🎶
Thank you
67 years old, and just picked this thing up. I might be too old. But I am not doing this to impress anyone. We will see how far it takes me. Been looking for a little bit on here. And so far you are the easiest for me to follow. Thank you.
Yes!! Where have I put my harmonica? It's been decades.. thanks fore reminding me what great fun it is❤
A big hello from the UK 🇬🇧. I have just ordered my first harmonica at the age of 34 and I am really looking forward to my new adventure whilst following your channel ❤
You are my brother, it doesn't matter when, in what country what nationality - this is the power of music. The power of love. Thank u, Juzzie!
Thank you, teacher🎉
Had a guy at a bar give me my first harmonica last week. Always wanted one, never bought it. Then I found you as I looked for lessons online. What a breath of fresh air you are, sir! Your energy is fantastic and you're always smiling. The world needs more of you. I ordered a Hohner Special 20 the other day, hope it's got the growl I'm looking for but either way, I think I'll take your course and get after it. You have truly inspired me with this little lick here and with some practice I'll get it down. I confuse the suck and blow lmao. I hope this message finds you well and thank you for the great energy!
Thanks Shane. Have fun learning the harmonica 😊
Your the best ,I’ve been trying to play all my life ,saw a old guy on the street corner in Philadelphia when I was a little kid and was hooked now I’m 66 but can’t play very good but this lesson here is just what I needed, thanks
Thanks James 😊
Finally, I've had my blue's harp since 197?. Juzzie, I found someone I can learn from. Thanks 👍
Thanks Juzzie, your teaching is unreal, what an inspiration. Fair play to you. I'm sure you've made so many peolpe's lives better. very grateful to have found your videos. Cool af as well.
Thanks bloke, you got me hooked
You are really good at teaching, keep sharing that talent that God gave you.
You do something very good to this world.
Thanks 😊
Juzzie thank you I'm Italian and you're the best teacher that I have never seen.
Thanks 😊
This is so FUN! THANK YOU JUZZIE!
It's been on my To Do List for years. But geez, Muddy Waters.... This is bookmarked and I will eventually get to it!
Always wished in my life that I would have met someone like you you seem so easy to listen to and it's obvious you just love what you're doing and I do too thank you
This is awsum and renewed my interest in learning the harmonica. Best lesson I've ever heard
Thanks David. Great your interested again 👍
Great teacher,I wish I had seen him fifty years ago
Your in the top 3 teachers of the Harp, thanks a million !$!
Excellent teacher !
So much joy in your music...come to uk please
When I was a kid my dad played a Hohner harmonica and would allow my brother and I to blow on it. He could play a few songs on it but for some reason never taught us. Now at 76 I'm learning both the harmonica and the ukulele. Such fun! Great teaching!
Cool! My boy likes the harmonica and can't play a note and neither can i. I will show him this video. You made that so simple i believe he will take off.
Thank's
That’s great. I would recommend 3 easy grooves as it is an easy lesson and you will both sound amazing. Have fun
m.ua-cam.com/video/atTJlGR6K9w/v-deo.html
Sounds like you’re one of the luckiest men alive. Thanks for giving back.
Great tuition Juzzie, simple explanation for an effective sound. Thanks
Thank you for explaining what I have been doing for 60 plus years. I could never tell anyone how I was playing I just figured it out and played. lol Nice job.
I'm 66 years old. Bought a harmonic many years ago and didn't really mess with it much. Now I'm retired and really want to learn to play. Thanks for your videos and giving me things to practice and work on. I have much to learn. 😎✌️
Great teacher. You make it sound so easy!
Your rhythm is incredible
Hi Juzzy cheers for this I have your cd's in the UK I met you a few times on the sunny coast where you were busking I love your attitude and positive disposition. I smile just watching you be YOU!I look forward to seeing more here and hope you make a million from UA-cam you are the man!
Thanks Graham 😊
No Problem :) I'd love to see you do a collaboration with Christelle Bertherone! :)@@JuzzieSmithUA-cam
Many Thanks Juzzie! what a great groove and so nice to play! So much feel to it!
Wow that was fabulous. Thank you so much. I am now inspired to practice again after becoming stale and getting bogged down. You are truly inspiring. What a wonderful teacher
Real cool bru.love the groove.Greetings from East Londo n South Africa
Thank you for teaching us how to play watching from the Philippines
Your welcome 😊
Dude you rock. Thanks for the simplicity!!
Thank you, helped me a lot. I didn't realize I have improved over the past months just playing from the little music in my head. I'll get a beat in my head or hear something that sounds good ,like what I just heard you playing and I try to replicate it on the harmonica, then I'll record it because it helps me listen to my mistakes. I'll never be professional, really not trying to be but just playing something from my mind, heart that makes me and others feel good. That's what I believe music should be to make you feel good, happy and put a smile in someone's heart. I truly believe music and laughter can bring healing to the body and soul. I love music and I love laughter but more than that is to give or bring that out of people and we all can make this joyful sound that makes music and make someone's day better and they leave a better person. Thank you again. Subscribed and make this world a better place with joyful music.
That’s great. Keep playing and feeling the joy 😊
Very friendly lesson . Great!!!
Thank you so much. I just started on the harmonica and this is fun and simple to follow. Awesome thank you!
Great Lesson 😊
Loving this and having fun!
Awesome. Well done 👍
You are an absolutely brilliant instructor. I’ve only been learning from you for about a week or so and already the difference in my sound is noticeable. I’m grateful to have found your work. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Juzzie, great teaching methods, why feeling in your body, and say it before you play it, Awesome help. Thanks
Way cool, Rock on Bra... Musician my whole life and I'm 64 now..
Thank you very much Juzzie.
Cheers JS... I'm getting slightly better everyday thanks to your inspiration. x
I watched this video and it gave me the courage to order my first harmonica. Itching for it to arrive! Can't wait to get started. Thanks Juzzie.
You make it look so easy. Awesome. Thank.
I really appreciate you sharing the knowledge of your talent. Please, please keep them lessons coming.
Thanks and will do 😊
Great lesson. It shows that you have a lot of experience teaching....
Thank you, Juzzie! Can't wait to try it out 😁
Never seen you live, but I've seen you on UA-cam, and always been entertained. Charlie Musselwhite said to me once, the blues is fun, And I agree. With him and and you. You are a great teacher. I played guitar, but wanted to play Neil Young, so I bought a stand and a hohner blues harp. Once a reed broke off, and I sucked it down into my lungs. Forgot about it. After a long time I stated coughing blood, so doc sent me to an X- ray. I got called back, and the radiologist said I might have a tumor, but it was rectangular, he'd never seen anything like it. " Can I have look" ? That's my G- reed! ☺ Just left it . Thanks!
That’s a crazy story. Is the reed still in there?
I am enjoying your lessons so much and to my surprise I am actually beginning to feel like I’m learning every time I follow along with you. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you and I’m fortunate to have found your channel. You have become a part of my daily routine and if I can get even close to your level of knowledge and understanding of the harmonica, I’ll be better for it. Again, thank you for your unconditional support. Be well.
it's really fun, I just bought my Suzuki Bluesmaster C key yesterday, and confusing to play this harp, and then I can play harp. thanks for sharing Juzzie Smith
My father wrote in his diary every day of practicing his harmonica… and I finally ‘get it,’ thanks to you.
Thank you, Jussie, from Jessie
Best harp lesson j have ever had ,,great teacher mate ,you make us relax with the instrument ,,thanks cobbah
