Circular Blues Riffs on Harmonica:Triplets (harmonica key of A) 

Wow, I've been wondering for a while or blues soloists played notes in riffs so rapidly and this explains it really well. It also really helped me understand improv. and soloing much better. thanks so much!

Ronnie, thank you for these great tips!!! Your videos giving motivation to learning harp more and more.

Ronnie's teaching methods just make me want to stay home all day :) .... Good job Ronnie!!!

soo good.Amazing speed, control and sound. I have been really focused on this for a few months. Everyday. Yet speed no where close.

Thanks for putting this up. Just wish I could grab back those 10 years ago you did it, and start over again.

This was extremely useful especially to intermediate players. Thanks!

Hey Ronnie! I know I'm a little late on this one but this video just flipped the light switch in my head I believe. What a great video. Thank you so much. You're the man. You always respond to my emails within a couple hours or less which must be tough so bless you Ronnie. You are a great help and must be a great person. Keep Harpin' brother

Thanks for opening my eyes to how I was kinda boxing myself in with blow notes

ANOTHER killer lesson. Thanks Ronnie - I could live off of your superb vids. 😆

Detailed and eye opening Ronnie, Thanks!

That 'beam of light' may be 'a sign'... hah! Anyway... that was a perfect description of what 'the solo' is all about. I mean if a performer, in rock or blues or funk... or whatever, can get by without playing a triplet 'loop' (I like to call 'em) that is way above my sensibilities - everybody - I mean EVERYBODY plays those!! Tri-pul-et - Tri-pul-et - Tripul-et!!! Some guys get lost in the 'loop' while they're making 'plans'... on where to go next! You nailed it for me, man! Perfect description on the bends, the routines, explanation, demonstration... BOOM! In... a... nutshell! I have enough info to keep me working for a WEEK! Thanks a lot! - jef G

Thanks. First day of this video. I did great. Im gonna estch this vifeo every morning at 7am until i master every technical thing.

Thanks Ronnie really enjoyed

goog one i forgot i should doing these triplets more often ,thanks blues man

Thanks for this lesson. Ran across you from another website. Loved your solos and hope to learn more from you! Dave Brown

thanks man, perfect riffs, blues from chile

Really helpful video man thank you very much... they are some dirty, dirty licks. You are a very good player.

Thanks for this. I'm a beginner struggling with triplets and this was helpful. I really like what you said about soloing and where does the music lead you, music is a surprising and beautiful thing.

Thank you very much. That really really helped me. Excellent.

Thanks for this. This will make me a better player. Now it's just up to me to put the time in.

Good video ronnie thank you

Very nice lesson

very good! thanks Ronnie!

Learning your bent blues licks right now. I am excited to test out a few at a Casino gig tonight. If folks want to learn the harp, hang out with Ronnie Shellist and he will get you some great material.

Great tips! Thanks.

Great videos

Thanks Ronnie

Great ideas here!!

There are some really good harmonica instructors out there, and Ronnie Shellist is one of the best.

I knew it was a manji as soon as i heard it. They do sound good!

I just let things flow when I play, never really thinking about where the riff is going. Playing from the heart has made me a better player as I have gotten older.

very good video, we ask for more;)

The first 2 harps that I owned were A and C. They are still the two I play most.

Great lesson Ronnie. Loved the part near the end where you started "squeezing" extra notes out just 2/3 holes.

Omg that's what I needed, just heading towards home with my brand new fresh shiny rocket in A :D

excellent!!!!

I was waiting for you to be beamed up during the whole video. Scotty must not have had his co-ordinates quite right ;)

I wanted to go to the harmonica event you and gussow, but tickets? im really far away in Lancaster California but I have a car and I love the harmonica and I would like to see you guys play that would be really neat and exciting to me.

Thanks

yep..and it happens to be a key that many folks own outside of a C harp

Thanks much

Lovely

Ronnie, try hanging a sheet of white paper in front of the light fixture between the edge of the light and the camera.

Hi, what is the brand name this harmonica, this sound is amazing! :) Brand name and type.

Ronnie just curious what key harp are you using?

You make it look easy. It is tough. Going to have to work at it. Do you do this pucker or TB?

to get rid of lens flare, tilt cam down... thanks for info!!

i think the word ronnie is looking for at 4:30 when he's talking about soloing is "fluid"

are your lessons suited for a pure beginner? I want to learn but don't know where to start. no live instruction where I live.

whats the key of that hrmonica?

Love this. Can you focus a lesson in the high octaves in 1st position? You touched on it here. Hard to find lessons on that. That's where I am weakest. Safe to say tons of harp players are weak up there. Thanks, man

That little riff around 2:55 is something I kinda picked up from Aerosmith's "Pink" haha just moved up to the 4 and 5. Gives me something good to practice. I can get these but mine still sound kinda...... squeaky haha

Take it from me, I'm a videographer/photographer-- it's the angel of the camera that needs to be adjusted.

Tablaatura???????

Hello, can you tell me what's the highest and the lowest key? 1. 2. 3. .....

It's a harmonica in the key of A.

Hey Ronnie these triplets are mostly or all pucker played?

Also try fastly -3 4 -4 -4''

Nós seu vídeos nunca tem uma tablatura, ao menos demo?

That beam of light above your head is your halo. No worry.

i have total beginner material at Harmonica123, my website. check out the beginners package download.

The blue shaft of light is lens flare put a little piece of carbonara

Ha, nevermind, just watched again and saw the key in the beginning. :)

this is chino's brother from deftones. XD

He sure loves that A harp doesn't he?

teh light is a harmonica halo

Put a little piece of cardboard above the lens

Nothing 'square',here.. (You probably can't do 'square',as a demo.,if you tried.) Cheers.

You shut your brain down and let your spirit take over

You are a wonderful musician, I don't know how you don't use Marine Bands, You really deserve a better tone! Those jap harps are beaultiful but sounds dead compared with a Hohner.

way too fast, not a good teaching technique--RS-a teacher
