    A great Harmonica for a great price is Juzzie Smith Blues Harmonica.
    juzziesmith.co...
    For this lesson all you need is key C diatonic harmonica.
    These #3 Riffs are simple but sound great when played with feeling. Try and memorise them so you can add them to the #1 Groove.
    Hole -2 (inhale) can take time to sound smooth, just relax and make sure your lips are sealing the hole so no air is escaping.
    Take your time. Enjoy each Riff. When memorised close your eyes and add feeling. Have fun!

    Genius. I have been playing some h. Since the age of 17 (now 50). It is a fun way of "screaming" publicly. Which you can't do without a harmonica, or a saxophone. I find it interesting, since you are grabbing space, audiospace if you will. And this space is free, if it is not already taken. And by taken, I mean noisy. But in addition to what master Juzzie is saying here, I just suggest you go to some tunnel and express and say what you need to tell people: "I am lonely" "I hate my job" are things you can say with your harmonica. Blues harmonica especially. And if you are close to town square when people go home from work, someone else who hates your (their) job will know exactly what you are saying (playing) . You may very well be saving lives. Raising spirits at least. But really giving energy and creating good atmosphere is a bit different. You must set your whiny and complainy thoughts aside, raise the tempo and give it all you got. This will attract more people, spreading joy I mean. And you can shift between the two. Go from G-minor Adagio to the Godfather theme, to Chuck Berry, blues licks. And well 20% of bystanders will absolutely love you. Kids especially. Just sayin'.

    Hi Juzzie. Would these be considered Blues riffs? If so, the 2 and 5 are E and not in the scales and I’ve seen those notes played in other blues riffs. Why do they work in these instances? Is it because they E is in the pentatonic scale?

    • @JuzzieSmithYoutube
      @JuzzieSmithYoutube  Рік тому

      E note is the 3rd. Blues uses flat 3 but often both. I just rely on my ears to let me know what sounds good 😊👍

    • @kevinlarochelle8898
      @kevinlarochelle8898 Рік тому

      @@JuzzieSmithUA-cam Thanks. I’m using the same ideas of the licks but using the Blues scale as well. -2,-3, 4. Then 4, -4’, -4. Then -4, -5, 6. Sounds cool as well.

    I don't play harmonica yet I do play the volume knob . It's an honor to tell you this . I'm in Louisiana and the blues and harmonica go hand in hand here .
    Riding freestyle flatland is a passion of mine that is unyielding . I have never strived to be the best yet I have strived to be the only . It would be unfair to other harmonica players to call you the best , it would be accurate to call you the only .
    You're one of a kind Mr . Smith !

    I play by ear so it doesn't do me a lot of good to hear about hear theory, or playing in the first position, tabs, etc. You are the best teacher I have come across in 2 years. Your smile SAYS IT ALL you are having fun! Keep up the good work and I will keep coming back. Good job buddy!
