Blues in 1st & 3rd Position in Wilde Tuning (Harmonica Lesson) 

@@pureaikido cool! Look out for my Wilde Tuning course coming next year :)

@@willharmonicawilde it’s Marcus ill be doing private classes with you in a few weeks hopefully 🙏🏻

@@pureaikido Hi Marcus! See you soon 😊

1847 are best dude, session steel is 💩💩💩, am also collect money for 1847 in Bb wild tuning.

Thanks for this. I’ll save my self the headache and splurge for the 1847. I wonder what makes the sessions so bad??? I’ve never played a Seydel so I have no clue how any of them play.

@@cincinnatipedalsteel4347 I’m not sure why, but it’s a common problem I see in reviews. It’s got quite a chunky cover plate, built like a tank, so maybe the shape and design has something to do with it. Or it may be inconsistent quality control. That all being said, I read a few reviews that said the Session Steels get better the longer you play them so I stuck it out for a few months. It’s still not very loud, or as responsive as my other harmonicas, but it plays much better. Whether it needed breaking in, or whether I’ve just naturally and gradually adapted my technique on a subconscious level I don’t know. I like it better now, although it’s still the quietest harp I own. And it does have quite a fat tone, which is nice for a bit of variety. But I still wouldn’t by another Session Steel. I was told that 1847s were harder to play so I got some 1847 silvers to force me to refine my technique. But I found them a dream to play. I find it harder to play fast runs because the stainless steel reeds require more precise breath control, which I need to work on. One required at one or two blow reeds to be gapped due to choking notes, but once done they are a joy to play. I love the tone. Very responsive. Louder than the Session Steel and beefier than Marine Band. My ‘G’ has a rich dark brown tone, warm as anything, and great for slow soulful stuff. My ‘A’ is my favourite harmonica. The reeds take a effort to react because of the stainless steel. It’s almost like it fights back a bit. But that allows me to slowly ease in and out of bends slowly and with expression when I need to, and also allows me to slowly increase and decrease volume by blowing softer and harder to ease out really expressive notes. I find Marine Bands almost a little TOO responsive and go into a full bend too quickly and easily, which I don’t always want. It makes them great for bright, fast playing. But if I want to play really expressive bends and scoops, and play heart-wrenching slow blues (which I really like) the 1847 is perfect. But I can also play fast runs too, although it took a little practice and tweaks to my technique. Unlike any other harmonica I’ve played (Marine Bands, a few cheaper Horner’s, occasional East Tops and Kongsheng and a lot of Lee Oskars) I find that the 1847, more than any other, gradually bends and shapes around my personality like a deep, slow-burning relationship. They’re not very forgiving in terms of sloppy technique, and my playing has improved since I started using them. If I had more cash I’d get a full set.

Thank you!

Have fun!

Thanks for watching!

Glad you think so!

Thanks Al, glad you enjoyed, more stuff like this to come over the next few weeks! I'm using a Wilde Tuned harp in G

Thanks Amos. No, 1st position G, 2nd Position D, 3rd Position A. Wilde Tuned harps are labelled the same as regular harps. Only the Wilde-Minor tunings are labelled in the second position key, as most natural minor harmonicas are.

Each slash represents a semi-tone or half-step bend. So / is a half step bend, // is a whole step bend.

@@willharmonicawilde see you soon...cheers!!!
