I was about to quit until I found your channel. Your corny humor totally cracks me up, but even more, you're hella good man, when I hear you play, it gets me pumped and wanna try it myself! Thanks for sharing! You have mad skills bro!

Thanks for all of your help, Luke. I listen the best I can to train my ears -- unfortunately, I have lost most of my hearing. I've become a hobby player over the decades ... your online lessons have helped me enjoy so much more of my harp time than I can truly relate. You're awesome, bro! Def Johnny.

Aw this totally blesses me Johnny. Thank you so much for sharing my friend. Mozart kept writing symphonies after losing his hearing, so you're in great company. 😉 Rock on! 😎

You rock, Luke! Thanks for putting our playing into proper perspective. Your unique style comes across as very genuine and humble, and your connection with people is awesome. I think I may have mentioned this to you somewhere before that instead of counting numbers from 1 to 21, whenever I need to do so, instead I have replaced the numbers with people who have been important and influential in my life, and you are on the list at number 12. You are in good company with my momma and muy papa at 1 and 2. I have also associated a Seed of Success from Og Mandino, which I first came across years ago, to each person, this is yours: "I will treat this day as if it was a priceless violin, one may draw harmony from it, and another discord, yet none can blame the instrument. Life is the same in that if I play it well, it will bring forth beauty; and if I play it poorly it will produce ugliness." You are a master of helping ALL of us who SEE you HERE to BRING more BEAUTY into our worlds. In large part because of you, my world is now full of music in a way I never thought possible. Excellent video and production, very cool. 😎

Shallow embouchure is useful at times. That Sonny Terry sound and many of his more flashy riffs were a staple of my busking routine

@Harmonicacom 2 месяца назад

From what I've seen, Sonny Terry didn't have a shallow embouchure. His "icepick" tone as Joe Filisko calls it is accomplished just by that wide "eee" vowel shape. I'd have to see what you're talking about to understand.

@mylifeisart 2 месяца назад

@Harmonicacom I suppose yes that is more accurate. Rather than having the harp an inch or more in and tonguing, I use lip pursing with a wide e shape and alternate deep and wide to shallow and wide for a more airy intonation.

Hi Luke, I think it would be useful to split the intermediate into beginner intermediate, mid-intermediate and advanced intermediate. Not rhat I can desbribe the differences. I would also like to know what you think is required to go from intermediate to advanced, then advanced to master. Thanks for your continued lessons, they have helped me a lot.

Hey! Can you teach us how to play the famous Grizzly Hills theme from world of warcraft? I think a lot of people would love to hear that music played on harmonica!

@dmitrygshi3569 4 месяца назад

Luke! I want to tell you thanks a lot! I got my C Hohner harp on my BD in the middle of last summer and I got my mojo working now !!! I can play solo from Little Walter's My Babe!!! and I learn it with Alex from your channel (that was a song in Cadillac records movie that inspire me to start playing on this outstanding soul instument) And I made my first steps with your video cos your style of teaching is very friendly and comfortable for beginners and you so stylish as well!!) But I thought that all backing tracks for my C key harp must be in a G keys, by some kind of music/note weel from your video about keys. I feel confuse a little bit, couse your test in current video where you get G key harp with D and G key song

@Harmonicacom 3 месяца назад

AWESOME! Congrats on all your progress my friend! I learned that Little Walter stuff from Alex too! Yeah in the beginning of that keys video I talk about 1st position (folksy) you play in the same key as the label on the harmonica, and for 2nd position (bluesy) you go up 5 notes so C harp plays G, G harp plays D, etc. For your C harp G blues backing track is correct. But you could also play a C folk backing track. Does that make sense?

Good checklist and great video. I do have a question; on the takata hoo train riff is not the last note a 14 instead of -14?

@Harmonicacom 4 месяца назад

Yes! Darn it did I make a typo? Shoot should be -123 123 -14 14

@nancyhuffman2647 Месяц назад

On U Tube there are many songs you can practice with. I turn down the volume and when I play something correct I cannot hear the song I am watching. It has helped me slow down and any mistake will show up. I practice a variety of songs to improve my single notes as I have to move all over the harp. One thing I can say with certainty is there is now way to improve without practice. I get in at least a hour daily.

@Harmonicacom Месяц назад

Nice! Good stuff. Yeah, Slow and steady wins the race! Or, as I like to put it: the faster you wanna grow, the more you have to go SLOW! 😎

@scottmattoon9054 4 месяца назад

Im pretty frustrated.... Im not sure I bought the right harps . I have the JDR harps in most keys... The reeds sometimes feel like they stick..could be me too... I have reached out to local music stores to seek a teacher...mentor to no avail .. Soooo... I definitely am a " beginner" after several steady months. I spend alot of time on youtube but not the same for me having someone in front of you educating you🤔. One thing for sure.... I will never give up!! I truly love the harmonica..

@pck1166 4 месяца назад

JDR is a Chinese brand? Doesn't have to be bad, I don't know them. I have also an Easttop Forerunner (a chromatic harmonica without walves and I love it). But back to your question. I struggled with learning Tongue Blocking (among other things horrible smacking noises). I tried it with my Seydel Session Steel (worst smacking noises ever) then with my Hohner Special 20 (just a little bit better), after several weeks I invested in a Hohner Golden Melody, which is flat at the mouth and gets higher at the back. So, it wasn't easy and I needed 4 weeks but I learned it. And maybe I can use this technique on all other instruments at some point. Every mouth, lips, oral cavity, lung volume and hand size is different. So maybe you have to try out different models especially as a beginner, because an Expert will play better than us, even on a bad instrument. And invest in a textbook with CD or QR-Code (I have Dieter Kropps Blues Harp Schule 1 + 2 which I get along well with and two textbooks from Perry Letsch, which I don't get along well with and from Olaf Böhme: The Big Harmonica Songbook with 200 songs and recordings, which is amazing. Kropp and Letsch are in German but the selection might be even larger in English. RU-vid is fine and helpfull but doesn't replace a textbook (hm, sorry for that). So, learning harmonica is not as easy as it seems, but it's great fun.

@scottmattoon9054 4 месяца назад

@@pck1166 great. Thank you for the advice!

@Harmonicacom 4 месяца назад

I do NOT recommend JDR harmonicas. The best cheap harp is the East Top 008k in my opinion. Buy yourself a good C harmonica. More on brands here: www.harmonica.com/which-harmonica-to-buy/

@greggmarkowski5203 4 месяца назад

All joking aside, I can play "Good Morning Little School Girl" fairly well, but always stumble with Happy Birthday. I think because to me it's not intuitive. That, and I've worked on "School Girl" for hours and hours, but only work on Happy Birthday five minutes before I have to play it. 🙂

No, not all of it. You can't bend a chromatic harmonica like you can a diatonic. But a lot of it does apply yes!! Breathing, tone, single notes. 👍🏼
