My boyfriends started playing harmonica about 5 years ago because of this video, now he has his own band ( MADABOUT BLUES BAND) and is playing every other weekend at many different places in the Orange County, Ca area (House of Blues Anaheim Downtown Disney, Hollywood, O.C. Fair, Diapiazza's, Queen Mary, and many other blues clubs) as well as local jam spots and company parties. And uses music very purposely to touch many peoples lives with his warm personality....
He references you and this video to people when they ask how he got started....
THANK YOU RONNIE for helping to enhance his life with the art of music!!!
+Imelda Velasco wow, how cool is that. this is what it's all about! sharing so others can enjoy, and spread the joy.
Nice story, thanks for sharing
How is he Playing now?
this video was uploaded when I was 5 years old
now in 2020 im 18 years old
AND I LOVE IT
last year I bought a C blues delux fender harp
taking lessons and tips from only youtube, im doing really good right now!
i'm such an ass, i've only listened to this vdeo 3 or 4 thousands times, and just now liked it
better late than never. :)
Never in my life have I seen a harp being played so well my god mate ur amazing . Massive respect from the uk
I think that this is the closest thing there is to a harmonica recruitment video.
Could not agree more!
thanks Winston
I was born in Chucago....
Jesus christ! That's absolutely spectacular! Wow!
I found this amazing harmonica blues about 12 years ago. I am still coming back for listening. You are awesome!!!!!!
thanks!
wow, i watched this vid 5 years ago when it only had about 100 views, started to play harp, 5 years later i can almost play as good as this, thanks ronnie, your vids helped me get there.
I watched this 12 years ago and from then it gets me every time. I also have to say that I'm not easy at all when it comes to music.I judge really hard. But this guy is something else.Awesome technic and great feeling. I'm glad that this video gave you inspiration.It gave me inspiration too, but unfortunately I'm a heavy smoker so I stayed at guitar, haha!Wish you the best!
The main driving force behind this effect is actually the tongue which is moving quickly in a back and forth motion (saying "yo yo"). The hand which I used a bit is making a subtle change in the sound to shape it. I also have a video out which explains this effect and others from this clip. It's called "Funky Blues Harmonica techniques described"
I just picked up harmonica and you my friend are my new teacher. I want to be like you when I grow up
:)
You were only a mere boy then, but already you were a man. The king! 👑
I saw this video for the first time like 10 years ago. In the while I started playing guitar, and yesterday I bought my first harmonica. It's time to learn. Thank you Ronnie.
1:13-1:21 is driving me crazy!!! OMG! this is amazing.
Don't stop playing..keep going and you continue to have breakthroughs. Be specific with what you play and try to recreate exact nuances, don't settle for anything less!
Time traveling will be possible someday
Can't believe this is 15 yrs ago. Still love this
First saw this 11 years ago, in the hayday of UA-cam, it feels like there was only a handful of content on here back then, so many people watched the same things. You were there right from the start! I had just started studying music too, and had gotten myself a harmonica to go with my saxophone. This video blew me away back then, and still does.
thanks
I have watched you do this a hundred times, and I am still amazed! You are amazingly amazing!
11 years later. still great.
:) thanks
2019 anyone?
My Grandma died in 2019 :(
@@historicalfma6036 oh sad moment :[
Some things are genius and put a smile on your face; this is one of those things.
Sublime!
It is most creaziest, funkiest, groovies, bluesy improvisation ever! This 2 minutes improvisation change my life- really. When i heard that first time i ask myself WTF? it is possible to play that? If someday i play that i will be happiest man on earth. And i listen that every day, i try play that year by year, but i understand nothing. I spend 12 long year to learn that stuf. And now in 2021 i can play Funkie Blues Harmonica. I made that myself by ear! Some part of my harplayin life are finish. Now i am happy and sad. Happy because my little dream come true. Sad because I have finished the pursuit of something unsurpassed. I feel happy and, at the same time I feel empty. I don't know if I will ever find a song that evokes so many emotions in me.
This video inspires me every day
these comments inspire me every day!
I'm 41, i was 35 at the time of the video
Ronnie, I just listened to this for the first time. Loved it including the cool sounds/effects around 1:50. Loved also, "Go play one.". I sure will.☺️
I'm 36 just started playing and can only dream of being as good as you at 42!
@@J.M.Stigner well, I started playing when I was about 25..so I was approximately 35 here. There is plenty of time! Get to it.
Now you're 48.
and now I am about to turn 49!
Aa a harp player, piano player, a guitar player, and a singer, this video is legit so satisfying to watch.
I like the way Ronnie Shellist has captured the original blues harp sound and style. I also dig how he has blended that style with a more modern sound. When I listen to him jam, my playing improves significantly.
thanks
wow!
How am I just now seeing this. Anna, you're such an inspiration. Keep writing those great tunes and singing your heart out!
1:13 - 1:17
How do you do that?
doy dah dah from 4d bend to 4d/5d-triplets
This 18 year old video is part of why im getting one now. Hope youre well and still ripping it up out there!
Just watched it again for about the millionth time
Cool funky Blues
adamda at ciğeri var dayı
Haklı
best harp player out there love this lick
I Have been playing for over 20 years now,i used to practice for 4-5 hours a day as that what it takes to get good.It took me about 6 years to get to playing this type stuff,its just dedication and practice.
Im in love! You played that like your soul was the harmonica.." yeah "!
cant help but gravitate back to this,,ronnie your off the charts bra,,,
This is the best advert for a harmonica ever "go play one"
as my late would say to me 50 years ago ..." stop playing that dirty music!". Outstanding
every morning while cleaning i go out of my SOUL!!!!! and dance whit the universe go on and make us happy!! ty
This guy has way too much swag to be playing a harmonica!
After viewing this many times;I must applaud the stops and starts! It’s easy to get a bit carried away and you times this perfect. This is one video I always come back to. It’s addictive, and pure virtuoso! I mean truly, like the guy mentioned earlier. This is definitely a recruitment video,but I never wanted to just learn or play the harp. I wanted to master, than be considered very good. Anyhow this is like a harmonica free style. A funky harmonica which is jaw dropping. This is gotta be the best harmonica clip on you tube, just raw and untamed! We love it! By the way, I’ve progressed a lot,the harmonica demands respect, before it’ll allow you to play it. I’ve learned that the hard way! Thanks Ronnie, your very good. I’ll be good too!
Thanks Ron. Recording and posting this video was a very spontaneous moment in my life. I'm sure glad I did it.
the old days are awesome
Im still watching these in pandemic era..thank God.. my booster since i was high school, 2006
This is how you play the harmonica! Great deep tone and sustained passion.
This video got me started playing over 12 years ago. Still watch it once a month.
WOW! Love it! You must play every day. Brilliant way to exercise the lungs.
U're just AWESOME!
I've recently started playing harmonica (I've got a marine band in C) and I just hope I can play like u one day.
Congratulations!

I can feel the energy you blow through the harmonica!
The reason why its sounds freaking good is because you play with feeling, there are allot of harmonica players how don't know how to do this.
Brilliant harp playing!

The Harmonica, by far the most badass instrument ever
Holy wha! Excellent tone and very good display of talent to execute some tricky licks.
You'll never be as good as this guy Ronnie 😂
You are great my friend. Really inspires me! I can imagine how much effort and patience has gone into becoming this good.
thanks so much
i just started playing the long forgotten harmonica, so i wanted to look up some music. . . and now I feel inadequate. lol this is crazy-amazing! XD
ah!! reminds me of when i used to ride those old rail carts down to St. Louis
i must say thisssssss... OMG.. i would have never guest.. lookin at you or anyone for that fact they could play a song like that.. omgggggg.. i am so out doneeee.. you are outstandingggggg... AND I MEAN IT.. HATERSSSSSSS STEP BACKKKKK.. THIS IS ONE MAN YOU CAN NOTTTTTT.. TOUCH... NOT ON THE HARMONICAAAAAAA.. FORGET.. GIVE IT UP .. A MATTER OF FACT.... DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.... IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN... well doneeeeeeeee... need i say more... big HUGSSSSSSSS.. i am so excited ... wow...
Pashion and mastery. Brilliant.
Absolutely amazing - so much fun!
WOW is the only word tht comes into my mind wheni see this ! FAIR PLAY !!
WOW!!! I haven't heard great blues harp like that in a long time! Awesome!!!
I tell you what, this guy is amazing! I love his cheeky little sign off too- "go play one". Like all you'd have to do is spend a few bucks on an old special 20 to shred like that. It takes a lifetime to play blues harp like that. AND you'd better be naturally gifted as well. Hats off to you, Ronnie!
ty
unbelievable......bravo..... my friend you make me huppy
this alone made me go and get a harmonica get lessons !
That there is some chops alright! Wow!
master class,,,,,,ronnie man,,,,this is sick,,
WTF!!! Just blow me away, out right AMAZING!!!!!
Holy crap!
You're awesome!
That was amazing!
You're mostly right. A lot of the licks he plays use the pentatonic scale, but he does play a lot of scales that use F (not F#). That's because blues doesn't use a regular major scale for it's melodies, but rather an alternate "major scale" called the mixolydian mode. It's the same idea, but it uses the minor 7th (F) instead of the major 7th (F#). They also use the blues scale, which also includes the minor 7th as an important note.
That must be one happy lady!
I've been playing the blues harp for 35 years and can' touch you.
go play one :D think i'll go do that then. Mindblowing performance, could listen to that 24/7. Thanks!
WOWWWWW i love that sound.. really good job
Man u have total control over that harmonica.. The sounds you emit from it are amazing. Well done mate.
Love the hamonica and he is good!
So damn good!
One of the best videos on UA-cam!
