Learn how to play harmonica from Howard Levy at bit.ly/AWharmonica
First time watching your video. I'm looking to turn to blues playing, AKA bending notes. I started using tongue blocking back in 1940 when I got my first harp so for me that's nothing new except for using split chords now. At 81 I'm still learning so it's learning the blues scale for me now. Will be watching your other vids for more great lessons.Thanks.

Probably the most skilled and articulate harp player in the u-tube venue..thanks
Great. I've been a U blocker for 30 years. Used a bit of tongue blocking for octaves. Now I'm finally trying tongue blocking for single notes ; it definitely bades for a fuller single note tone!
First time I've watched a Levy video... what amazing tone! It sounds as if his harp, mouth and throat all form one single instrument.
Back in the 60's Hohner would have a instruction pamphlet with their harmonicas that taught tongue blocking.
Thanks a lot, Mr.L. I've been following Adam Gussow's tutorials but it's always good to listen to another expert. I'm just starting TB and, as you can imagine, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
I love your teaching style. Laid back but professional. And your techniques are amazing!
what a great teacher !!!
Thank you ❤️
I am a guitar player and have played all kinds of blues from ragtimey Blind Blake, Piedmont blues , Delta blues , chicago blues and compared to trying to tongu block on a harmonica I think guitar is easy peezy in comparison but of course I have practiced a billion times on guitar and not much on harp. I want to be able to tongue block because Little Walter did and so did Big Walter so why wouldn't I wanna play like them.
Very good lessons - good explanation! THANKS!
Clear explanation...thank you.
Thanks for the video. A really clear explication of tongue blocking. I have to work on this now... :)
Having learned to play harp exclusively tongue blocking to the left, and getting my single notes to the right...it's very difficult to learn to block the opposite direction. I've only heard one blues harp player use right tongue blocking in a number. And then, years later trying to learn the purse method for single notes is extremely difficult after having been a tongue blocker.
That's a good introduction to tongue blocking but you make it complicated by saying you have to blow out of different sides of your mouth for different holes. If you just play out of the right side of your mouth then you can play all the notes, but hole one is played by lip blocking (because there will be no holes to block to the left).
hey hey howard, im over here 🖐
What's that tune in the intro?
This guy sound really happy to be alive
Very good!!
Any advice to a u blocker? I am trying to learn the pucker and some TB. But I end up back at u blocking.
anyone know the music/artist in the video intro ?
thanks！
Oh god I never had the guts to learn this technic because of hygienic reasons... I guess it's time
i dont fully get wat u mean
So basically do your best Scott Malkinson impression... Who has diabetes.

Learning how to play is killing me
Creating too much saliva -drowning the reeds -is there a cure
Stand straight and tillt your head slightly back. This does happen with a lot of players
Good stuff, but look at me, Howard!
You're forgetting splits and octaves nick. And it's never a bad idea to learn how to tounge block out both sides of your mouth. If you wanna learn to TB don't half ass it.
too blah for nothing
