I just watched this and I have no idea what you are talking about. Position1 and position 2, it’s all a mystery to me. Using a diagram of some sort would maybe help a complete and utter noob like me.

@cyclonudista 5 лет назад

I still don´t quite get what it means to play in first or second position...

@d-ro3266 4 года назад

Positions are just groups of notes that sounds good together based on their relative root notes if that makes sense

@Jesse Mohammad I've either seen you somewhere else or that was another person but now I'm skeptical if that's sone sort of scam

Great explanation thx

TELL US WHAT A POSITION IS. THEN GO INTO WHERE IT IS! Geeeez.

@kzookid2051 6 лет назад

Great explanation. I've watched a lot of beginner videos, and your was the first to actually connect with my brain so I can understand why some of them said, "If you have an X key harmonica, you can play it like a Z key harmonica." Thanks! Very glad I subscribed.

@TomlinHarmonica 6 лет назад

That's awesome - I'm so pleased :-)

@journeyfortwo5211 5 лет назад

But to play in the key of Z you would want a V harmonica. 2nd position is a fifth interval away from 1st position

@ScottJones-ne8qx 6 лет назад

Tom, I could ask this in any of your videos, but I have a question about hand position. I've gotten used to holding the instrument with my right hand, not my left. Is this a liability? Are there any artists you know that play this way? Should I try to relearn how I hold my harmonica?

@johandegreef3846 6 лет назад

Hello Tomlin, If you are inmprovising on a 12 bar blues, do you use these different positions/notes for each degree, or do you just use the G blues scale over all 12 bars? Thx

Speak unfortunately no English but understood why it is Many Thanks

@lawnorder6804 3 года назад

Wow, a triple decker tin sandwich! Tomlin I'm still confused. My understanding is most blues operates in the second position. Eg. If I want to play a song in the key of G, I need to use a C harp. My confusion is that the C is the 1st. If the translation is G to C and we want to play in the 2nd position, wouldn't we need the harmonica that has C in the 2nd? Thank you and merry Christmas 🎄

@613brownie 3 года назад

F harp for blues in C

@moorha 2 года назад

i dont understand at all... if i have a song in a key of G, why dont i simply take G harmonica??? And.. if i have a C harmonica and the song is in G.... how do i play it? For example the song in G starts with -4 and i have a C harmonica... what do i play? aaarrhhhghghghg....

@ARealToothbrush 5 лет назад

I have a C harmonica and I have played all 10 holes blow and draw and none of them are making the sounds that he is making in the video . I can only match a few notes

@davidkendall589 4 года назад

Okay... sooo.... you didn't explain what they are.

@juanantonioespinosa8816 3 года назад

I really like your videos. But, actually, in this case, you didn´t told us what is a "position". I guess it has to be something as electricity: a denied knwledge for me...

@guloguloguy 6 лет назад

IMHO: Your explanation here was still not very clear, or well explained.

@SoundAssault 4 года назад

After rewinding several times, what I think I deciphered is that 1st position starts at 1 blow, 2nd position starts at 2 draw, third position starts at 1 draw... ? Not clear...

@gobuns2 2 года назад

man, I bit my harp yesterday as a joke but it made a clicking sound :||

@nw2394 2 года назад

I find "positions" mega confusing . I don't know why harmonica teachers are afraid of the proper musical terminology i.e. keys and modes. Why avoid music theory that every other musician knows only to invent new words!?
