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!
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 juzziesmith.com/store/juzzie-smith-blues-harmonica/ Still 85yrs young 😊
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...
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. 😊
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 .
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.
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.
I was a commercial electrician fo 25 years...I used to take my harmonica to work .. when I got comments I just reminded everyone how weird it was to me that every one so attached to their phone
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.
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.❤
I finally let my desire to play music take hold pretty late in life. Started to learn guitar at 37, had a good teacher who through trial and error finally got it to click for me when he started me playing the blues. I imagine that’s the way for many given the relative simplicity of the blues. I took up the harmonica a bit later and can play along pretty well to any song when I know the key and can get the right harp. This little set of lessons is really good Juzz. Reminds me very much of my guitar teacher. You break it down nicely into logical structures and your casual passion for emphasising the importance of the feel and enjoyment just takes it from there. Very cool.
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.
Thanks David. If you would like more weekly lessons my patreon has lots of great content for learning in a fun way. It only costs $3 a month so really great value. Here is the link if you would like to check it out 😊 www.patreon.com/juzziesmithofficial

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
I got a my harp when i was 11 years old. Thats now 17 years ago. It was getting dusty in the drawer ever since. A couple weeks ago i took it out and learned the iconic riff from once upon a time in the west for the birthday of a friend of mine. Now i stumbled across this friendly looking and authentic guy. Thank you, i already learned a lot. You‘re creating a great athmosphere in your videos! Great guy
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.
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!
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
the first time i seen you play at the redcliffe markets in qld australia i sat there listened to your whole set, i loved your sound, i brought all your cd's that day then brought a set of harps now i play while driving while listening to your how to play harp cd. to anyone out there wanting to learn harp, buy juzzies cd.
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!
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
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.
Eighty three years old , started at thirteen, stoped till my wife died 😢. Just started abut one month ago. Don’t have time to advance to far , fun trying. Play gospel music, trying to bend, can’t tell I am able to tell if I am successful or not. You are a gifted teacher, thanks and God Bless. 18:45
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. 😎✌️
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.
I'm 73, I like you loved it since I was a young about10 years old, my Hero my Dad got it for me. I became a school Bus driver later in life and would play blues for my kids loved it...and would ask me to play it for them...the school band would come on with their big instruments... I would then say here is my instrument of choice... Fits in my pocket and goes every with me. Thanks for your expertise I think your a fun fantastic instructor and its very enjoyable watching you...Thanks again.
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.
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.
I've played that lick on harp for ages and I watched the whole video just because the things you were saying were so true. Yes y'all should check out Muddy and yes you do get a little dizzy (AND look a little psycho) with yer eyes open, shaking back and forth on a tremolo note. I wish I could teach half as well as you do. Good heavens! Way to take something and break it down but keep the joy in it. Bravo!
I've had a harmonica for a few years now and tried to learn how to play and until I saw you here on UA-cam I just havent enjoyed it. I loved this lesson, thanks and keep them coming!
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
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.
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!!!!!
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
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
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.
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.
Watching you play harmonica is so fun. You are having so much fun playing it. I’m not even trying to learn how to play. I just enjoy your music. Cheers man!
awesome mate ..those moments when young and you hear that something that triggers ones life.. for me and the love of guitar was hearing the song radar love by golden earing when i was 6 ....50 odd years ago still love that tune ...great content mate
Merci beaucoup. I'm a piano Newbie and learning music of all types is inspirational. I'll jam along with the 88's but I learned what you said about keeping the rhythm.
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 😉
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!
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.

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.

Thanks mate. I think your very cool jamming when you get the chance. Keep having fun!
the only weird thing about the image you painted is if you didn't paint it!
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.
I mean I'm trying.. u make it look easy
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

Juzzie Smith, You are the BEST !!

wow. what a story.
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!
Your the best teacher out there! It shows how much you love what you’re doing. Take care.
Thanks 😊
Juzzie Thanks for sharing !!
What a really pleasant teacher, great personality, I’m looking for my blues harp right now. Thank you.
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 🎶

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.
Most likely the coolest video I have ever watched on UA-cam. Do not watch it in a rush!!!
Thanks 😊
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!
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 😊
You’ve got me dude !
Childhood dream of mine to play like this - I’m on it - thank you !
That’s great 👍
Me too!
I was privileged to hear Paul Jones of the 60s group Manfred Mann and he could sure play harmonica ❤
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.
You are such a legend bro, genuinely smiling and learning and you have a great way teaching. Big thanks from a beginner.
Sounds like you’re one of the luckiest men alive. Thanks for giving back.
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 👍
Learning to play at 46..love the sound of blues on the harmonica.. Will b watching intensely...
Great. 46 yrs young 🎶
Because of you (and Gussow, Wilde, Ricci etc;))i made people happy this weekend . Thank you.
I was a commercial electrician fo 25 years...I used to take my harmonica to work .. when I got comments I just reminded everyone how weird it was to me that every one so attached to their phone
You're a quirky fellow
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😢😢😢😢
This man's vibe is pure bliss and love. He is Godly.
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.
I finally let my desire to play music take hold pretty late in life. Started to learn guitar at 37, had a good teacher who through trial and error finally got it to click for me when he started me playing the blues. I imagine that’s the way for many given the relative simplicity of the blues.

You know how to transmit your passion, it's really cool to learn with you and your good mood. Thanks again!

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.

That’s so cool 👍🎶
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.

Favorite beginner riff tutorial out there for beginner harmonica
I’ve always done the 2/5 blow split. I like the 4/5 chord. Thanks👍
Juzzie thank you I'm Italian and you're the best teacher that I have never seen.
Thanks 😊
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!
Love you Juzzie, we are true musicians we play because we love 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

Thanks David. Great your interested again 👍
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. 😎✌️
It's been on my To Do List for years. But geez, Muddy Waters.... This is bookmarked and I will eventually get to it!
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'm 73, I like you loved it since I was a young about10 years old, my Hero my Dad got it for me. I became a school Bus driver later in life and would play blues for my kids loved it...and would ask me to play it for them...the school band would come on with their big instruments... I would then say here is my instrument of choice... Fits in my pocket and goes every with me.

youre like a better version of mathew mcounghey
Matthew mcoughnehey and John c McGinley
Great tuition Juzzie, simple explanation for an effective sound. Thanks
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
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.
I've played that lick on harp for ages and I watched the whole video just because the things you were saying were so true. Yes y'all should check out Muddy and yes you do get a little dizzy (AND look a little psycho) with yer eyes open, shaking back and forth on a tremolo note.

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.
Great lesson. It shows that you have a lot of experience teaching....

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! 😊
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.

Merci beaucoup. I'm a piano Newbie and learning music of all types is inspirational. I'll jam along with the 88's but I learned what you said about keeping the rhythm.
Best harp lesson j have ever had ,,great teacher mate ,you make us relax with the instrument ,,thanks cobbah
Great to see u still playing juzzie. Hi from up in cairns brother 🙋 inspired me to play the harp too. Thanks for the coolest sessions mate .
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 😊
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
The harmonica made the Blues so much more than it could be. My other favorite harmonica pieces are from Midnight Cowboy and Moon River.
You are the best ever in teaching from the heart exactly the way I have reached my own son tony and he is booming now❤
Great video. I'm just getting into playing. I like the way you teach. Thank you
You revived my love for the harmonica thank you so much!
