Harmonica is one of those instruments where, until you attempt it, it looks almost comical. And then you realize exactly how much nuance there is to playing it even passably well. To be this good is not only a lifetime of practice, but a once-in-a-generation talent.
From the box, the typical harmonica has 10 holes - equal to 19 tones (there is a one repeated tone depending on whether you blow or suck the chord). But it is more complicated - you can play half tones by either sucking the air hard, or by blowing (and this technique is super hard to be done correctly). I've been playing the harmonica for several years in the band. After about three or four years I was able to copy almost every simple melody, but what this guy is doing this is unachievable-level-god. Super, super hard.
He is playing these pieces on a diatonic harmonica... whoaaaa... all those bending and overblowing to get the half notes would be sheer impossible to achieve even at very slow speeds, let alone at those tempos and with such musicality. A true master indeed.
My dad could play harmonica and for his birthday one year my mom bought him a really good chromatic harmonica. Well that was it!! He loved it and so did we! I can still hear him in my head. I love you dad...
@bunkyman8097 I bought my Dad a chromonica with my proper first weeks wages in 1982 and had it engraved to him. It was £51. I have it here in front of me, its well worn and still has a smell of him when I play my basic stuff. Oh how I wish we had phones back in the 80's 90's and early 0's when he was alive 😢
The sad thing is that people have no clue how hard each of those songs are in the harmonica! The first one was so beautiful and played so amazingly that it was breathtaking! That was the easy one! What he did on the second and 3rd song was on the border of impossible! Yet he made it seem so easy! It was utterly and completely amazing!!!!

u can say whatever u want but the harmonica is easily in the top 5 best instruments ever created, u can't change my mind, no other instrument can channel feeling like the harmonica, which is also why, while u can play all types and genres of music, to me it is purely a blues instrument. Man do I love the harmonica
I don't care how many times I have watched Buddy over the years, I still can't stop smiling, especially considering where he was and when he played this. Carnegie Hall spring of 2002, 6 months after 9/11.
Hello Steven How're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you! It's nice meeting you here.
It's just lovely how every single member of the audience has a smile on their face when he is playing. So did I while watching the video. It's a smile in automatic mode, can't contain it. Amazing.
The people who think this is easy have clearly never played harmonica. It may look easy but it is hard. It's incredible how good he is. And here I am, struggling to play HAPPY BIRTHDAY-
It's cringeworthy how you state the obvious with such a sense of discovery. Why would anyone think it's easy!? That you think that of others is condescending alone. Do you think other people are that dense?! If it was easy, anyone could do it and would do it! That applies to everything in life! And what all professionals in any craft have in common is that they are so good at it that they make it look easy. That's why it's so impressive to begin with. If they struggled at what they do, no one would want to see or hear it, because we all have enough to struggle with ourselves, no need to watch others do it too, or even pay for it. Look at yerself. Does anyone want to hear that? Nope. Only you.
@@Claude-Eckel Ah, a pretentious..."elitist." Does it make *you* feel good to tear down someone making a simple observation? Do you rip into your children in the same acidic way when they roll up on you to share whatever trite little effort they have? God forbid if they do because after one or two of these kinds of scathing diatribes I imagine they wouldn't want to hear what you have to say ever again. Now the really interesting part of your "rebuke," if you can even call it that, though that's my way of being gentle with what you're *actually* doing, is that you felt it was even necessary to respond at all and while you go on about saying that this person is condescending, you yourself are even far more condescending and, frankly, despicable in your methodology. Do you think anyone reading your comment cares what you have to say after your opening "salvo," as it were? I can't even say you were well intentioned here, but rather just using this opportunity to vent. You lost all credibility and that's sad because you could easily have made your observations and they might have had some validity, but you didn't. You went for full on Internet Troll nonsense. I'm responding because you're a bully and someone needs to call you out on it. No one cares about your own assessment of this person's comment or your attempt to put this commenter in their place. I think the only person here that needs to look at themselves is you. Learn how to rebuke softly and gently and you won't be getting folk like myself getting up in your face and calling you out on your behavior. And, please, since I took the time to respond in the most tactful of ways, if you feel it necessary to respond, (though I believe you should keep your mouth shut, take your licks, man up and learn something here) don't. Seriously. Don't. I don't care what you have to say at this point. As I said previously, you lost all credibility and whatever else you say is just going to compound your losing position. Does anyone want to hear what you have to say now? Nope. Only you. Cheers!
Hell yeah! I wish I started playing harmonica at 13. Didn’t pick it up until 30. Played other shit. I can only imagine what those extra 17 years would sound like.

Woah. This sounds so clean. I thought he's gonna play just like everyone else. First time I've ever heard someone play it like this. He made all the people in suit and tie clap with the song and go standing ovation at the end with an instrument that can fit in his pocket. Buddy Green is amazing. This is an inspiring video. Thank you for posting this.
This dude seriously whipped out "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," with it's 9/8 time & intricate arpeggiated melody, as the first "sophisticated" thing he played before going full Boss Mode on the William Tell Overture's "Finale," which suits itself really well to the Harmonica.
I’ve got a new found respect for this amazing instrument. It’s a damn shame it’s not more popular. I don’t remember the last time I physically saw one.
For some reason I still have a memory as a small child wanting to play the harmonica after hearing some song possibly with one being used. I’m 50 this month and I’ve just ordered one on line....... “let’s give it a shot”
Imagine being a violin player that practices years to be come the best and make it into an award winning orchestra and a guy walks in with a harmonica a steals the show. Lol legend
So true! In college, i took violin lessons using the Suzuki method and learned some of those classical tunes on my harp. At one point my teacher had me sorta prank some faculty members. I walked into the room, opened my violin case, set my bow aside then reached in and pulled my harp from the case and played - it was a surprise to them and gave me a lot of joy - if only i could remember which piece it was - certainly not close to what Buddy does here.
Woah. This sounds so clean. First time I've ever heard someone play it like this. He made all the people with suit and ties clap with the song and go standing ovation at the end with an instrument that can fit in his pocket,. Buddy Green is amazing.

Fabulous! It's much harder than it looks. Many peope don't know how a harmonica is played. He's not just blowing air out through the instrument but also drawing air in at unbelievable speed! Remarkable talent!
For someone who's not an expert in music, without looking, I would tell it was a violin playing... the sound he makes is so smooth and pleasing to the ears
Hello How're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you! It's nice meeting you here.
I already know that I could live 1000 lifetimes and not even achieve 25% of this man's skill lol I've watched him play some crazy tunes while switching back and forth on them and good God it's amazing.
I bet Mr. Gioachino Rossini would be very impressed if he were alive today and listening to this. His overture that premiered in Paris on August 3, 1829 now being played at Carnegie Hall on the harmonica.
one of my all time favorite video, Buddy took the opportunity he got and swung that critical hit right at the deadcenter, and my man, that's a goodbye home run right there, what a legend.
I play harmonica in church and I’m not good enough to be in his shadow. ((Skill-wise). I just worship God with the Harmonica as my “voice” I am improving but by bit. Listening to Buddy and others encourages me to strive.
I have watched this, literally dozens and dozens of times over the year's. It has to be the most amazing harmonica performance ever. Magical to watch and hear!
Wow. Extraordinary. Didn't know the notes could be played and heard independently. Always heard 2 or more being played. My papa gave me and my brother harmonicas when we were 6 and 7 never learned to play well.
You can tell the exact moment when the crowd went from "huh what a novelty" to absolutely mindblown. In that moment he fulfilled his dream, to hold carnegie hall enraptured with his harmonica. It makes me emotional to watch 😂
Death/prog/thrash metal musician here. I was one of those people who where like.... oh ... harmonica.... I bet that's an easy instrument....... boy was I wrong. I have a set of them.... and that shit ain't easy. Mad respect for this gentleman. 👏 👏👏👏👏 🤘🤘🤘
my harmonica just got delivered this morning (1st musical instrument) and thought let's watch some tutorials and somehow I ended up here after watching 2-3 tutorials and practicing for about 20 mins and THAT'S IT GUYS IM THINKING OF RETURNING MY HARMONICA.
Wow! That was as entertaining as it was impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed it... Instruments are easy to play, but incredibly hard to master... IDK if people understand how hard it is to be this good on a harmonica... Popper definitely knows.
00:30 "Oh, Susanna!", by Stephen Foster (1848). 00:58 "Cantata BWV 147: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring", by Johann Sebastian Bach. 02:12 "Sonata No. 16 in C Major, K.545 (1st Mvt) , by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 02:37 "Wilhem Tell overture, final part", by Giacomo Rossini. Also known as "The Lone Ranger TV series song".
I _love_ it at the end when the crowd yells YAY! Who shouts yay like that unless it's just a gut reaction to triumph? Maybe we need a president who plays the harmonica. When things get rough, pull out the harp and play Shenandoah. I think that would help things along.

Never gets old! It's like bringing a whole orchestra in that tiny harmonica! Bravo!!
You can tell the exact moment when the crowd went from "huh what a novelty" to absolutely mindblown. In that moment he fulfilled his dream, to hold carnegie hall enraptured with his harmonica. It makes me emotional to watch 😂
Death/prog/thrash metal musician here. I was one of those people who where like.... oh ... harmonica.... I bet that's an easy instrument....... boy was I wrong. I have a set of them.... and that shit ain't easy. Mad respect for this gentleman. 👏 👏👏👏👏 🤘🤘🤘
The overture of "Wilhelm Tell" (G. Rossini) played on a harp: marvelous!
my harmonica just got delivered this morning (1st musical instrument) and thought let's watch some tutorials and somehow I ended up here after watching 2-3 tutorials and practicing for about 20 mins and THAT'S IT GUYS IM THINKING OF RETURNING MY HARMONICA.
No matter how many times I've listened to this the moment he breaks off into Joy of Man's Desiring I get goosebumps
God-given talent. Practicing only enhances any talent God gives. Praise be to God. Thank you ,Mr.Green.
Wow! That was as entertaining as it was impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed it... Instruments are easy to play, but incredibly hard to master... IDK if people understand how hard it is to be this good on a harmonica... Popper definitely knows.
00:30 "Oh, Susanna!", by Stephen Foster (1848).
00:58 "Cantata BWV 147: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring", by Johann Sebastian Bach.
02:12 "Sonata No. 16 in C Major, K.545 (1st Mvt) , by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
02:37 "Wilhem Tell overture, final part", by Giacomo Rossini. Also known as "The Lone Ranger TV series song".
Even the short rendition of Oh Susanna was extremely impressive. I don't think most people's grandpas play it like that!
So apparently my dog likes harmonicas! I played this and she got super excited!
我再小时候76年就喜欢吹口琴！已有很多年没有再吹奏了，看了这个视频，口琴大师的吹奏感慨万千！我要从新找回我童年的感觉！祝大师快乐！
This inspires me and I blast it through the speakers when my neighbors get bothered by my classical guitar practicing.
Never trigger a harmonica artist...🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Incredible 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We got there in the end brother. I remember thinking the same thing. The man needs more than 2 million, but at least after 3 years we've got here :-)

Adorable. Takes me back to my childhood. We didn’t have orchestras but there was always someone who played the harmonica

As opposed to... What? Ass harmonica? Lol
哈哈哈哈哈哈
@@chriswelcome8102 in some countrys like mine people call accordion a harmonica and this a mouth harmonica
Even 12 years passed, this clip is still legendary.
The harmonical has a cheerful soulful sound. I want to learn.
The human spirit and talent, expressed and shared thru the humble harmonica.... is nothing short of amazing. Thank you Buddy Green!
I don't see anything humble about it.
Simply Magnificent, beyond words! What a tragic loss, yet too, what a wonderful experience for those of us who saw and heard his wonderful talent.
I'll come back here 25 years later! Hopefully I'll play like him!
First full song is called cantata 147 (also called Jesu joy of man desiring). My favorite classical piece.
It’s definitely one of Bach’s finer pieces, to be sure.

I _love_ it at the end when the crowd yells YAY!
Who shouts yay like that unless it's just a gut reaction to triumph?
Maybe we need a president who plays the harmonica. When things get rough, pull out the harp and play Shenandoah.
I think that would help things along.
Brings back memories. When I was a kid my dad was a harmonica player.
A big congratulations ! A real genuius !!! Thank you very much sir Buddy Greene.
Absolutely AMAZING !!!!! Mindblowing performance👏👏 Very very difficult, superb control in breathing
Nothing short of fantastically outstanding, the very best!!!
To sum it up in one word, the title for this man here is Maryland. The man is a wizard at this man. Did the lone ranger theme song bro. I'm blown away
Thank God harmonia is not dead. Love it
And it’s not even his harmonica playing ability that’s his best part . It’s his personality what a nice guy.
Amazing and unbelievable but his hard work is seen in every node.
