Now On Sale as recorded class with notes www.harmonica1... Basic walking bassline. I use a C harmonica in this video. I -2 -3 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -3 IV 4 5 6 -6 7 -6 6 5 V -1 -4 4 -4
I love being grounded back into the basics. It really opens up new avenues where I don't get stuck in my own BS. I never kick right in with dazzling stuff. I warm up on 1-4-5 progressions and basic timing practice. Then I get creative later. It works for me.
Can anyone offer a local musical instrument location, or private party where good quality playing"Honer" & competitors harmonicas for beginners can be bought. I'm hearing that Honer "C"s are the practical ones to begin with.? From: chuckeroo292@gmail.com
I once had a bassplayer talking trash about me playing harp at a jam session.... He got really quiet when he heard me playing almost all his basslines with him simultaniously.... I got my payback acompanied with his apologies.... He was genuinly impressed I could play along with him like that. And as it should we do play together a lot at jam sessions now ;)
@@Bootsharmonica I showed him, but in the best way possible. We were able to appreciate each other and play together as friends. I play for joy and relaxation. For me that works out perfectly

This lesson is amazing. Thank you! I used this walking baseline riff to vastly improve my tongue blocking. It provides a framework for a riff that isn’t boring to play, doesn’t drive my spouse crazy, and begins to sound really cool when you get better at tongue blocking and adding flavor to it. Please keep the content coming!
Such a great lesson. If you haven't got on this lesson from Ronnie, what are you waiting for. Beginner and intermediate players there is so much good stuff here. 👊
Oh sure. The wind makes a tree fall across the driveway, I go out to clean it up. Then I come inside and find out you've already been live. Isn't that just an example of a blues man's luck? LOL
Do you offer a complete training package online? I see the individual classes for sale, but do you have a full course available for purchase? I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question.
I'm no musician but is there a bit missing in the tab? The way I hear it is: Ix2, IV x 1, IxI, ?xI, and then finally the turnaround thing. Can you do a full tab? Very helpful by the way.
Steve, it's all there but I recommend that YOU write it out. It's super easy and I don't want to cheat you out of that work. Simply do the following. Write out the measures in a 12 bar with the I IV V and plug (I I I I IV IV I I V IV I I/V) in those lines I have in the description. That's it. For the turnaround, play what you feel or simply go back to the I chord. Make sense? Download a 12 bar chart and see if what I put in the description makes sense.
they are in the video description AND I do call out the notes. I think it benefits us all to write them out. :) sometimes I include tabs on the video itself but not too often.
yep Illinois. still playing outside in warm months, recording music and the good thing is that there are real blues musicians out here. Colorado..not so much.
You sound better than most of these Bob Dylan sounding blues harp players, Bob Dylan was a great for his style, donovan thats your style, none of the blues harp players like Little Water Billy Bizor Jimmy cotton Lester Hayes, Sonny boy Williamson slim harpo play your style, you need to sit down and listen to these blues masters more careful that’s how I learned listening to their records and trying to copy them I’ve played with Muddy Waters blues band after he died, John Lee Hooker and sat in with a lot of other Bluesmasters , still playing I’m 77
Brah are you kidding? The guy is a master of classic blues harp styles. Very rounded and one of the leading blues harp players around today. Plus just a great teacher and very relatable to.

Nice! This is a lesson on something that every beginner needs to know. (And they know it.) ;)
hey buddy, good to see your face here. see you at the summit soon!

General location interested for purchasing Honer "C"s & competitive equals is Riverside - Corona area. Thanks, chuckeroo

Wtf was his issue ? Do you dabble in bass harmonica? I find bass harp fascinating and unique
@@ER-me1ii He was having a bad day, I guess... I did play his basslines, but on a regular harp. Would love to play bassharp though
Haha yeah! Way to go man. You showed him

I learned this on the Marimba before, but playing it on the harmonica means I can take it anywhere!

it is by topic, not an A-Z course but the blues bassline class is a good one.
That C looks like a filisko harp. Do you play Joe.s harps?

Are there any reasons that You don't show tabs? Regards for Ava!

@@Harmonica123 Thank You for answer. And You are wright.
👍👍👍
You've moved to another State, Ronnie? How it going? It must be a drag without live music😣Hope you're doing well man.
yep Illinois. still playing outside in warm months, recording music and the good thing is that there are real blues musicians out here. Colorado..not so much.
@@Harmonica123 Cool, brother. Good to know.
Hey Ronnie please can you tell me what a stroll sounds like?
check out "Those Lonely Lonely Nights" by Johnny Guitar Watson. :)
@@Harmonica123 Thank you will give it a listen.
Heĺlo.

You must be joking right? Or are you genuinely unfamiliar with Ronnie's work?

It's a work in progress Johnny. It always has been and always will be. I have spent 25 years studying these masters. :)
