My first jaw harp arrived today!
Out of all the videos.. you explain it the best. Its easy to learn an keep up with
Incredible. Just got my first harp. 👍🏻
That is wonderful. Enjoy the journey.
holy crap that helped. i had no idea what i got myself into lol like,.. "what monster have i created!?" im having a blast learning this sucker. day two of having my first instrument!
I am so glad to hear this. ‘Its a slippery slope of a journey into the harp.
I received a P.Potkin jaw harp from the Harpery for my birthday last week and these videos have been SO tremendously helpful!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge!!!
Great video! I found your explanations about stuttering your breath and how you camouflage your breathing into your playing to be very helpful for where I'm at right now. While experimenting with them I had that "ahah!" moment and got really into it but had to quiet it down when I heard the baby shift behind me!
I've actually found I can play pretty quietly by pressing the armature against my lips instead of my teeth. It gives it a very muted quality with no travel, but when I'm just sitting working on my strumming or something, it keeps me from disturbing my wife or kiddo when they need quiet time.
That is what I love about playing the Jawharp, it is all individualize to our own essence and personality. And to play well all you have to do is to play and learn to use your Whole Breath.
You don't have had to already known how to play or have learned any other instrument before.
But your information is of great help in learning. Thanks Jamie
Just ordered my first harp … thank you so much for all the info , very helpful…
Just got my first jaw harp I'm from WV my dad and uncle played one when I was younger and always fascinated me. Love your videos.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been playing for about 6 months after hearing someone else play in a ceremony. I play all the time and I’m starting to get my own style now. 🙂
The music of the harp is the music of you. Love hearing this and good luck on your musical journey.
Just started. You explain the best. Thanks
So good great video and info 👍👍🇬🇧🎶🎶
This was super helpful. Still super new to this instrument. I’ll be coming back to this video, if there are other instructional videos on jaw harp like this send them my way!! ✌️👽

I think it's fun to do this with a tuner app on sometimes, so I can not only hear the changes I'm making but see the difference as well 🙃
Ohh wow you do help me a lot! I have my first harp from Steven Stoop and with your technique advices i already improve open/close very fast,what a vibe!
As a didgeridoo player, mastering open/close technique is key to circular breathing
Yes love these videos! I recorded some practicing on my channel, not really sure where to improve.
I needed that, Jamie! Thanks a million!!👍
No problem. Your melodic play has been improving since your first lesson. It was definitely a struggle for me at first and I am still learning everyday.
I got mine last week and have had the most info frommyour vids, day 8 glottis experiments.
My housemate is suffering but, as she said its kinda her fault: she was the one who is addicted to cowboy movies. 🤣👍
Secrtly ive always wanted one, dont tell her. 😅
I would Like to See a Tutorial with a Dan moi! ❤
Thank you lord Leonidas
Is the video black for anyone else? Audio is fine but video is just black
Edit: wait nevermind, yt was just playing up. Great video, very helpful! :)
I've been listening to a lot of jawharp music. And boy! do styles vary. I may have my preferences but sifting through what's available recorded is a confusing task. I'm not that keen on shamanistic playing and I like some of the hip hop jh out of Europe. So I'm asking folks if they have any recommendations for players I should listen to. Indeed what are the essential listens, do you think?
I just subscribed to you so i can learn some techniques. I got my harp today and i already love it.
The only thing that bothers me is that when i hit the trigger/loop it resonates like a metal sound, like, you'd flick a thin metal. I'm not sure if it's supposed to do this. It was cheap for 10 bucks so i guess that's normal? It's an Ozark Harp.
What is the name of the harp? You can also polish the trigger a bit and it works when a trigger is rough and does this.
Bebbcorp Harpery its an ozark i think? Or Schwarz. They both have the wide handle when i google them. It's small and the trigger is like an L, quite sharp. Not sure if this helps haha. I'll look up about the polishing. Thanks for the reply!
Can this technique be used with a Pavel Potkin Vargan, or is that harp not really designed for melodics?
Potkin tend to vary in quality. I have en Potkin that are perfect for this and some others that were pretty fuzzy. But also practice most to all techniques on any harps you got.
@@bebbcorpharpery7331good to know. I’m still deciding which harp to get first.
@@bebbcorpharpery7331 I'm still deciding which one to get first. I'm leaning towards the Potkin, but I like that the Drymba isn't as loud so I can practice at night once the kids are in bed.
What do you mean by the word saturation? do you mean harmonic distortion of some kind? thanks
Saturation is an abundance of higher overtones. It is the crackling nature of Glazyrin, some Szilagyi, and many other harps.
@@bebbcorpharpery7331 Thank you for the clarification :)
Sir..how can I play a jews harp in E SCALE???...PLS ANS
But a harp tuned to the note, “E.”
Sir..pls suggest me a E scale tuned harp...
That depends on your skill level, price range and what style of harp you want.
Can I play E note in Glazrin wave???
No, the wave are pitched well beneath the e note. You can get a petrel and tune it to e. Or buy a Blackfire in e, is good for rhythmic play.
Bebbcorp Harpery ı love you you are my herooo
