Hello, my name is Luke "Playa T." Clebsch. Thank you for watching my beginner harmonica lesson entitled "Harmonica Basics 12 - Harmonica Lesson How to Play Trills."
In this harmonica lesson I demonstrate how to play harmonica trill between the 4 and 5 draws. This is a very common sound heard in modern blues harmonica. So if you want to learn how to play blues harmonica, you have got to get this tool in your belt!
I then demonstrate some ideas for trilling like -4 and -5, to +4 and +5, to -3 and -4. A really nice little lick on the Harp.
Finally I demonstrate the idea of bending the notes down while your doing the trill to give it that down and dirty sound!
I hope you find this free harmonica lesson youtube video helpful. Thank you so much for watching. Please let me know if these videos are helping, and/or if there is any subject material you would like to see covered.

Hi Alex - I cover how to hold the video in my second video "Harmonica Basics II" Let me know if you have any further questions...

[@rhmtoo]

I love the way you demonstrate the sounds with your mouth to hit each of the bends... 😂
The technique is useful and memorable 🙏

[@oliverstieglitz]

Your trills are awesome. But trills in combination with bendings is still hard for me. It will take a lot of practicing. Thanks a lot and greetings from Munich.

[@FunkyHarp]

You can do it!

[@oliverstieglitz]

@@FunkyHarp Hi Luke. Is there a trick to combine bending and trills?

[@emilcolina9930]

[@mel66foehren]

Good Video !

[@deputyseal409]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who plays the guitar and the harmonica at the same time

[@thetruth418]

+deputyseal409 Uh, people have been doing that for decades. Ever heard of Bob Dylan? Smh. Was the point of your comment just to brag about the fact you do both or what? What a tool.

[@Bryt25]

What a nit-pricking prat you are. Leave the guy alone for his honest comment.

[@MrAjmorley1]

Can you do a video on how you hold your harmonica. Thanks

[@joelgraham1]

Killer videos Luke! Many thanks for all the cool lessons.
peace, jg

[@XsK5]

Hi! Thanks a lot for the videos! :) Is there any video where you show the whole lick, not only the Trill? Cause it sounds really cool :)
Thanks again ^^

[@jonathancant4555]

Can I ask what make of harmonica you play on these videos? It sounds great!

[@Salokhnir]

Jonathan Cant its a hohner special 20

[@jonathancant4555]

Cool, that's good then...same as the one I bought. I can hope then that with practice I can get somewhere near the tone you get on this. Thanks for the reply.

[@FunkyHarp]

Actually it's probably a Lee Osakr. I don't have any special 20's any more because I kept blowing them out...

3.00-3.05 ...awks
