Welcome! With more than 21,000,000 views since 2007, Modern Blues Harmonica is the #1 blues harmonica channel on RU-vid. Here you'll find literally hundreds of teaching videos, for beginners and more experienced players alike. Most of my conversation is oriented towards intermediate and advanced players who have learned some of the basic techniques but KNOW they are missing something. I drill down into that "something" in my videos.
You'll also find performance clips of my own ensembles (Satan & Adam, the Blues Doctors, the New Delta Jukes, the Gussow one-man band) and other remarkable blues harp players.
If you're a beginner looking for guidance, or if you're an intermediate or advanced player seeking additional challenges, please visit my website, ModernBluesHarmonica.com, where I've got a range of blues harp materials for sale.
I was one of the founders of the Richmond Blues Society as well, and all these cats were pals o' mine. Robyn Stanley, Terry Garland, Ron Smith, and of course Nat Riddles...all gone. Keith "Li'l Ronnie" Owens is still wailin' away in RVA.
Ron Smith took the video (and is the voiceover intro'ing each take). Nat was such a great player and guy. As was Terry Garland--they didn't play together often enough.
You sir are one of the BEST of the BEST instructors to open a RU-vid account and certainly an honorable veteran of the legion of great harmonica players before you! Thank you sooooo MUCH for this supremely AWESOME lesson and whilst I am just 12 years late arriving at this video I shall pay my respects by downloading your album today!! THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!!
Tongue blocking helps a lot with busking. It adds a lot of depth to the rhythm and really gets people moving. It doesn’t have to be fast or fancy, a really nice groove is all it takes. Once they pay you attention, then you can start to add embellishments to increase those tips.
So I'm not sure if I've heard that song before or not but I can say that that's some excellent harmonica and a cool song. I'll try and work on it and see what I can do with it.
GREAT, Great Song...Well done. This song can be played in the keys of “A” on your "Easttop" Harmonica ... The very best Harmonica made on Earth, and the cheapist foundonEbay. I will be making a cover of this song….soooo…Look for it! Eli: “King of Rock & Roll Harmonica” NOW Subscribe and ding their “bell.
This Mister Satan has become one of my most favorite people, ever. You won't find this level of Visionary walking around you much, anymore, also ever. He is unique, & I find higher wise concepts just watching clips like this. Because, my friends, making squares within circles IS another form of how he is teaching us to *Get it Together in the Real World* using *fantasy* as a surgical tool.
@Modern Blues Harmonica id love to try one. I have a lee oskar key of C im loving. So would i get another key of C or try a key of D. I do have a cheaper 3 pack hohner of keys A,C and G. The hohners i have are made in china. So.a cheaper range
