This makes me so happy. Thank you for all you do. You are a good teacher. Up until Covid I worked with children and did storytelling. I wanted to add music as part of my program. I either did have the time or the direction to learn. When this is all over please know the kiddies will love this song you teach today. This soundtrack is fun to play with/
Brilliant -- I'll start working on it today! (For years I hummed this Bobby McFerrin tune to myself each morning for an hour, as meditation, while I walked to work. It always puts one if a better mood! Try it.)
Please do play it and send it Rohit! It doesn't matter if it isn't perfect, this is about us all collaborating together at a difficult time for everyone :)
Liam, I'm so glad I saw this! 'Just now 4:15am Monday is better late than never. I'm glad I checked out RU-vid! I'd love to share the joy! Thank you for doing this cz 😃🎶

Send me your video file or a link (email address: contact@learntheharmonica.com) and I will stitch together as many as possible to appear in my next video. Remember to tell me what country you live in. DEADLINE: Monday 6th April. Let’s give the world some good vibes!

Fantastic idea Liam. I don't where I'm going to pick up a C harp at the moment though, but I'll be sure to tune in on the 6th. Sincerely hope you and your family and friends are well and keeping sane in these uncertain times 👍
hey Liam, best tutorial on earth! one lil suggestion is in the third line of the whistle intro maybe not a 3 blow but a -3//( two halfstep bend draw, so an A.) but maybe I might not sing it not for note..... haha. Great ,you put up so great work for the harmonica community. mille grazie, thnx so much. detlef
Yeah I think I agree, I just wanted this to be open to all levels and a bend would've discouraged a lot of beginners. Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers. Liam
Do you need to hear the backing track in the recording I send you? Or, can I use earphones to listen while I play and just send you the sound of my harp? I can't imagine that you can sync the backing track sound from (perhaps) hundreds of different recordings. Just curious. Jim Worsham
OK... I am planning on sending in a Vid... BUT... When is the absolute last hour that I can submit a video... Monday April 6th @ Midnight England time??... YIKES... I just looked that up and it is April 5th, 5:00 pm MST in Salt Lake City... any way I can get April 6th 12 midnight my time MST-- Salt Lake City time??
Holy heck... This sounded like fun until I picked up my harmonica and tried it... I'm thinking this isn't any kind of beginners tune... HOLY CRAP!! and only one week to learn YIKES!! with only 4 days to go...
@Whitt Smith Hey Thanks Whitt... I have not given up... I have the 2nd line down... which is the last half of the first line... now if I can get the first half of the first line to pare up with the 2nd half of the first line... I think the rest of the song might be much easier... I hope :)
@@8360365 Hi Paul, just send me whatever you can do and I'll use the best bit. I've had videos from total beginners so you aren't alone! Just got Whitt's entry, sounding great :)
@@janecheer EAST PEASY... RIGHT... LOL... This thing is going 134 bpmI... I am almost done with the whistling part... I'm hoping it gets easier after that...
