jason you are amazing ,how lucky are we people seriously,to have you is amazing ,,, its like madonna or richi blackmore would never give so much back to people like you do. thank you so much for gifting yourself to us ,love you to bits man.
Back to the future ! Hello Young Jason !
😆 🤣 😂
Jason is playing an A harp
i recommend getting a solid two draw bend before you even try three draw. The two draw bend is vital for good cross harp (2nd pos)
important to understand also is that, every half step is a note. the third draw can be bent 1.5 steps, thus you can play 4 distinct notes on the three draw. The two draw can be bent 1 step, thus allowing for 3 possible notes.
Great lesson. Thanks a lot.
Thank you!!!
good lesson - thanks & Happy Christ mas
Hey brother, billy blue from up at Eugene. I hadn’t caught this one before! Great lesson. Thanks man.
Hey bro!!!!
thanks jason, i swear you're from another planet man. i'm 64 and been playin since the 60's, and you help me tremendously just hearing you. this was a very instructional piece, as i play some third position with our band. it's helped me alot
Jason Ricci, you are a great inspiration to us!
Thhaats itttt by little walter. The dogs nuts
Jason I have only been introduced to your music recently, and I've been blown away by your expertise and your willingness to share your expertise. My musical expertise has been in a plateau for a long time, but you have have inspired me to take into another level. I always had the killer album collection in the background to learn from, but I lost my inspiration. I'm grateful for the education, I would never figure this stuff out on my own. Jake
fuc.... best teacher ever
Love you man! Thank you for the lesson, you are such a PHENOMINAL THOUGHTFUL AND GENEROUS teacher!!! Can't wait to see you live someday!!!

cheers jason,if your ever in the uk,uv always got somewhere to kip mate youd be welcome here,keep it up mate,your awsome.
Regarding Harp he is the best I think
The penny has finally dropped!!Thanks Jason.
Not sure you'll see this but...first of all, very helpful video...thank you! I thought that in 3rd position, the 7-draw is a root note. At the end of your video you say "just learn your blues scale up there," which ends on the 8 draw. Sorry for my confusion... hope you see this! - Dave
Blues scale 2nd octave: 4 draw, 5 draw, 6 blow, 6 draw bend, 6 draw, 7 blow, 8 draw.... Extended: 8 draw, 9 draw, 9 blow, 9 Overdraw, 10 blow
7 draw= 6th note of the major scale in 3rd...
@@jasonricci Wow...can't believe you got back to me...thank you! (I don't have PayPal. Do you have Venmo?)
@@davidwalsh8673 On the house buddy! Thank you!
Those licks are sublime. Really gonna have to get to have to learn some 3rd position stuff. With that echo, it really sounds cool. Cheers man
You are a cool cat J. !
Awe thank YOU ❤️
Just master
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS,IT'S INCREDIBLY HELPFUL.
Thank you The Miller 48!
Great instructional video. I like third position on a number of songs (it sounds cool playing along with Sonny Boy II on "My Younger Days"), and I think I usually get to the right notes but never understood what I was doing. Your explanation and demonstration was very clear. Rich G
Thanks Jason, this lesson taught me the third position.... You're so clear and... Don't know how to say it... but your lessons really work!
Thank you so very much and keep checking back more vids all the time!! A Moon Cat loves and appreciates all y'all!
Thanks much. This was a bit of a dead zone for me too.
No you rock thanks for watching, learning and commenting!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Hey, thanks for sharing this... It has rained ehh... 😉 I thought that third position was minor... Just what it's said usually...
Hey man your my favorite by far!
This is really helpfull, thanks for posting Jason. I hope you are doing ok, you have crazy skills dude :-)
Hey I use crappy old tuners like "Korg" etc...they work good enough for me...You can get a great tuner like a Peterson strobe tuner...which you can now DOWNLOAD a digital version of! those work better obviously...but any cheap 10 dollar tuner with a microphone will work.
Thanks
J
Try using a T sound at first...if all fails look up adjusting action/offset on the reed...could be the harp...
Love

Right indeed on a 16 hole chromatic.
Hi Jason, Nick from Sheffield , South Yorkshire here..On the the 3rd at the beginning..I'm having trouble gettin the bend...any tips. And i thought i was good..lovin it man!
In third pos. it is the two not the major or the minor really just the two and it's part of many minor scales (Dorian, Harmonic minor, aeolian are three off the top of my head...Try those.
I'd like to ask you a related question about playing fifth position. I hit on using fifth position for Hound Dog Taylor's "See Me In The Evening" mainly because I don't have an F# for second position or a B for third. I think this sounds kind of cool and my (limited) understanding of fifth position is that you start on the second hole blow which I think works here. My question is what other notes fit - I may be using them or some of them but it would be nice to know. Thanks Rich G

So if I have a C harp the band is playing in Dm or D major??? I was told 3rd position is for minor key songs. I’m so confused because the chart on the back of the Hohner box says 3rd position is a whole step below, so Bb for a C harp. Then again the
same chart says 2nd position is F for a C harp.
I also can’t get the 3 bend anymore than a whole step but I imagine it’s cause I’m new
I’m so confused
Yes you're right! 3rd Position is a harp a whole step below the key of the song and it can be for minor OR major playing despite what most people say. 2nd Position in 4 whole steps up "C" for example: c, d, e, "F" harp !
I think I play in 3rd position over the V chord 'simply because of the turnarounds I've learned, but I've never considered using it over the I chord. If you start a song using 3rd position over the I chord, what do you do when you get to the IV and V? Or can you simply use the 3rd position blues scale over a whole progression, as long as it's in a minor key?
Soulful... slow playing at the start. Scale note tutorial starts about 5 minutes in...
Awesome video.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Thanks for that! Would I be right in saying that Little Walter plays third posish on 'I Just Want to Make Love to You'?
I was trying to give an overview....sorry...
