    Love your stuff. I love Sonny Terry but a lot of blues isn't really my thing. Your style of playing is so inspirational and full of life. Real nice change of pace from all the cross harp and 12 bar blues when first learning.
    Great to see the instrument being used for other styles of playing

    Loved these licks, sir! To expand a bit, 7 is a nice cap on the -6 like every 8 bars or so. Also, 1 -1 is an octave down from 4 -4, which sounds cool between the main riffs.

    Juzzie you are an absolute legend in my eyes mate. To be totally honest with you I've never really been into Blues music or any instrument other than the guitar I started playing when I was 9 and stopped when I discovered beer and kebabs (18 or 19) 😅. Anyway back to you and your inspirational videos, I came across the one with you teaching the 3 grooves and after watching it, I genuinely went on Amazon and bought a harmonica and even paid for next day delivery 😂😂😂. I'm sending The Long Haired General (my wife) round the bend. She has even had the cheek to compare my practicing to a cat walking round on a hot roof and I keep reminding her that she sounds like that to me when she starts nagging. You are a really cool guy and I'm definitely going to keep up the practising and hopefully I'll be able to jam with some friends of mine who are in a band or 2. Keep them coming mate. Cheers mate.

    I bought my second harmonica a month ago. (The first one 35 years ago, but didn't learn anything).
    I've found myself a handful of very good teachers on YT.
    You're on the A- list of course.
    But do you know what differentiates you from the others (your competitive advantage they would say in marketing)?
    Pleasure!
    Right off the batt, you give the absolute beginner permission to get pleasure from his learning.
    And that's a great experience.
    Thanks.

I don’t care if it’s from China as 90% of stuff made on this planet is now made from China and there’s no getting away from it even stuff that says things like Made in the USA or Made in the UK etc on it most of it is made in China then just stamped from a different country.
