Very illuminating; really enjoyed the "big picture" perspective down to the minute details and nuances. The way u break the phrases down into parts is a great technique! Also the repetition is extremely useful. I agree w u in that actually trying to reproduce the sound yourself brings one closer to the creative genius of the artist than just listening can do .... but u have to listen intently first. Thanks for teaching!
Hi, Paul. Thank you so much for posting. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know people played blues in anything but cross harp. This lesson was really illuminating. I've got a long way to go and really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge!
Hey there John! Thanks man, as you get more into it, you will find there are plenty of guys out there who have been playing blues in other positions too. Thanks for watching and thank you for the kind words! Keep playing man!!
Hey there John, thank you so much for the kind words brother. I have been using Hohner Crossover and MB Deluxes with Blue Moon combs for a long time now. This particular one is a Deluxe with an old Hetrick comb in it which is something you can't get anymore as he stopped making the combs. That's unfortunate because his were really good. I have to say though that Blue Moon are just amazing and if you haven't tried them yet, I would suggest it. For whatever reason, I have found I am building my tone around them. Have fun man and thanks again!
@@ikust007 Thank you so much! If you truly find my videos of value, I will seriously consider it. I have had others ask as well. I truly appreciate the support and kind words! Very kind.
Wow Ceri, thank you so much. I do appreciate that. I am sorry for the delayed response. To be honest I have been a bit overwhelmed with responses to the videos. I appreciate it and keep playing my friend!
2 draw, -3 1/2 step bent, -3 1/2 step bent, then 4 blow. If you listen to the "King of the Electric Blues" version it is very much like the "Mannish Boy" riff, but that is which is actually 2nd position on a D harp. It's different than the "His Best 1947 - 1956" version which is the one I am going over here. You can do it either way and you will be fine. Hope this helps Yasin. I hope I didn't confuse you further.
+SpecialDetermence Hey there! On harmonica you can play different "positions" or in different keys on a single harmonica. Playing "first" position on a key of A harmonica means you are playing the harmonica in the key of A. There fore, if the song is in A and you are playing in A on the harmonica, you are in first position. Second position on a key of harmonica which gets it's emphasis off the two hole draw would mean you are playing in the key of D, and so on. As you get further along in different positions, bends and/or overblows and overdraws would become more necessary. Hope this helps! There are a ton of videos on this subject. Take care!
V nice. Took me a while to find someone who broke the song down and did it in the right key with the right harmonica!

hello what key harmonica are you using in the video? c or a?
+Karlo Katicic Hey there Karlo, it's a key of A played in first position. Take care and thanks for watching!
+P Leasum Ok, thank You very much!
+P Leasum Thanks for the good lesson. This has been very helpful!
What do you mean first position?
