Liam. New font scheme still looking good. I understand the concept of octave tongue blocking and Crossroads Blues by AG shows there is a long way to go for me but if I didn't your graphics would have done the explaining very nicely. Appreciated as always.
Sorry, A final comment. Liam did a box sequence lesson previously, for 12 bar, that involved a 6 blow. Try that note as a 36 blow octave for an experiment
You're welcome! No this was recorded before my computer died. I have a few more lessons to release before I start using the new equipment. There will be a little preview video once I've set up the new computer though so watch this space :)
Hi Liam, I'm curious- do harmonica learners and players need to do something to exercise our lungs? Or maybe breathing exercise like singers do? I get exhausted after an extended period of practice, or even during practicing a long song. Love your videos! Thank you!l😊😊
Hi SK KPR, it's really just about relaxing. Easier said than done though! You can lie on your back on the floor and breathe naturally, you'll find you're breathing deeply but relaxed, that's what you need to do when playing harmonica.
Hi Liam. Strange one here for you....I was just trying to do this (tongue block) by blocking 2and 3 and whilst doing so, i was checking on a harp tuner/bend checker, and discovered that i am or can bend those notes perfectly using my tongue to interfere with the airflow....Have you heard that before?
Hey Lol, yes it sounds like you're just bending using a tongue block - that's the way I do most of my bends these days. Can you bend with a lip purse? If you find it easier with your tongue, perhaps tongue blocking is for you! Cheers. Liam
I love octaves! Great video, Mr. Ward. Quick question, are replacement reeds even worth it, considering the fact that they are as expensive as the actual harmonicas?
Hey D-Ro, I don't bother with replacement reeds but if you enjoy the fiddly business then there's nothing wrong with doing it. Also better for the environment :) Cheers. Liam

LearnTheHarmonica.com thank you so much!
Sir can you make a lesson about how to play good in cheap harmonica , I dont get any lesson on this on UA-cam .
Big fan sir.
Buy some decent harmonica... Save your money instead of buying... There's one decent out there with brand Easttop T008k, I personally like it
I m having a hard time playing single note while moving the harmonica and puckering
