I have been playing diatonic harmonicas for nearly my entire life. Played in a small band while in high school, mostly folk music. Sat in with professionals on a few occasions in New Orleans, and in Ventura. All blues. Always wanted to learn jazz, but life was busy until finally in September 2019, I switched to the chromatic in order to fulfill that wish. I am taking lessons with Yvonnick Prene, and jazz classes on LJS online Inner Circle Courses. Still a beginner, I hope to advance enough to begin playing with others.
I know when people say you have to warm up the chromatic, so it can flow a little better.My answer to that is used , Hair dryer gun. For a couple minutes back-and-forth back and forth on the blow Range .You'll Here. the differen before you use it allready be warmed up Ready to use. Yes, I do The sidel, Grand Has a warm temperature. Case Chromatic has a warm temperature in its always ready.
Ich reinige keine Suzuki und meine Symphony mit einer Fühlerlehre, indem ich auch ein dünnen Stück Reinigungstuch darüber stülpe. Deine Idee ist richtig gut. Viel Grüße und gutes Video.👌 Manux
You can look for the score in The Real Books of jazz. If you need tabs, it’s a good exercise to write tabs on the score sheet. It will help you know the instrument better. I do a solo of my own here. You can compose a solo after listening to other solos, or following the chord changes. Best of luck! There are many backing tracks available on RU-vid.
I absolutely love the harmonica. It sounds great and I can take it anywhere. I’ve got my first chromatic coming in the mail tomorrow am am very excited. Thanks for putting out these videos that helped me learn and enjoy the harmonica sound!
Buongiorno Mauny sento una cromatica che fila molto bene, non conosco il brano ma ha un bel ritmo "Mi Piace"; cordiali saluti dall'Italia e like per Te👏👏🤝🏻👍👋
I am in need of a good 16 hole chromatic. I saw the Hohnner super x 64 but the price is over $600.00. I prefer the plastic mouthpiece over the metal. The lower notes come through loud and clear and it is said to have superior sound. Is there a lesser priced harmonica comparable to the super 64 X?
Scenic area indeed! I dwell in a 870 year's old countryside in Schleswig Holstein area near the elbe river. It's also a scenic surrounding & to play the chromatic Harmonica in such secluded surrounding is a sheer joy. And sometimes I also climb & sit on the tree's to play 🎶🎵🎼
You are so right about playing in the countryside. I am on a hill in Washington State engulfed in smoke from raging fires in Canada and the US, it’s hard to see the mountains in the background, yet the beauty & serenity cannot be ignored…
@@MaunyMusic Hi, I recently got one Suzuki Chromatix 16 holes and I have to thank you for your recommendation. This is a really good harmonica. I am also glad that we are both students of myharmonicastudio.
Thanks for the informative review. I like your style....bit of humor, honest, and to the point for all of us harp loving amateurs. The Sunday morning robe added to the casual vibe lol. More reviews please!
air leaks are common, especially with chromatic, i saw a video they use vaseline on the slider, it improved. another thing i dont like is the plastic wind saver, sticking. i tried the tombo no slider type chromatic. i also use the cheaper harp for practice.
Are there any chromatics that don’t have the tonic note repeat in holes 4 and 5 ? I think it’s also on holes 8 and 9. Is there a harmonica where this does not occur? If so, that’s the one I want to try.
You know, in my experience, the repeat holes actually are well placed. You have the C and the F to play in both directions, or with a slide push. I am studying jazz. With fast licks, I strategize how to play those notes that are repeated, and if I am out of breath, or the sequence is tricky, I try to see if I can alter how I play just those two notes, and I play the option that gives me less trouble inside any given arpeggio...
Mauny. This is an incredible video. Your delivery is mesmerizing. Please do a video on how to brush your teeth. I would totally watch it. Am futzing with a sitcky reed in a suzuki SCX-64, and am making and assembling tools as I watch. One thing, when telling how much of a reed to clean with your plastic/cloth thin cleaner, you say no more than 70% so you don't bend the reed up. On the particular reed that you showed, yes it was about 70%, but it's really a fixed number, like say no closer than 10mm to the root (attachment point) of the reed.
Yes, the reeds must maintain their gap, so no force should be used if going underneath them. Try avoiding unless it’s completely stuck due to debris. In that case, I carefully use a razor blade, but only if I spot something. It’s usually a small food particle…
