Total game changer! Harmonica tone FOUND today. Thank you!

@trafalgar622 5 лет назад

Great, clear, straight to the fact video. Well done!

@JiihaaS 3 года назад

A good thing to bear in mind is that by cupping a mic, you're effectively changing its polar pattern into omni. This could make it more prone to feedback and leaking, since it doesn't reject sound coming from the back so well anymore. It might not be a problem in many situations, but in some cases it may.

@brianstoneley227 5 лет назад

Thanks for this information it’s exactly what i required. Your teaching is spot on . Best wishes Brian.

Thanks. Normally not a fan of mic'd harp, but it's good to know. However, I am a fan of your style of teaching. Keep playing.

Excellent!

@jameslewis9343 5 лет назад

Thanks Tomlin, I appreciate this comparison video. I've never tried an SM57 like the one you demonstrated. I've been using the "Green Bullet" and that's my preference, but I have large hands. I really like the "greasy" tone it gives the harp. My amp of choice is the Fender Pro Junior.

@MegaBoomer666 7 лет назад

Very interesting Thanks for the video

hey nice lesson))

@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244 2 года назад

I have a green bullet mic, but as I am a smaller man, my hands cannot seal it no matter what I do. I did not know about the stick mics. So thank you, I will look at those as they seem to be much narrower.

@petermyers1435 4 года назад

Great vid. I hold the harmonica, using the same grip but in the other hand, should I change? I'm only 2 months in and not really ready for playing over a mic, but I've gotten pretty used to how I hold it now.

@curciopaul Год назад

Great video, Tomlin. Do you do anything different with your grip or cup when playing the high notes?

@Fendermanpaul 11 месяцев назад

Great video. What Harmonica do you recommend for blues?

@bsur5775 4 года назад

The small shell Shure's where the screw holes are top and bottom vs on the side are easier to hold and much sought after. I see a lot of brown ones with the small shell(special design for recording) on nameplate as well as others. The current Green Bullet is not one of them.

@richardbently7236 2 года назад

Is there a glaring reason that I'm missing why more people don't play in front of a mic, instead of holding it. Or is it just preference and mostly everyone prefers holding the mic?

@shyamalkumardhar367 7 лет назад

Tomlin, you are demonstrating for diatonic one .do you suggest for chromatic players ? another question ,i play chromatic harmonica griping reverse way I mean keep my slider in my left for the last 45+ years .do yo think it incorrect position . thanking you.

@davidethridge5748 4 месяца назад

What effects are you running? Any compression pedals?

@toxicity96 7 лет назад

Hey, great lesson :) can I ask you what amp are you using?

@TomlinHarmonica 7 лет назад

+Roberto Congiu I'm using a Roland Street Cube for this lesson :-)

@toxicity96 7 лет назад

Thanks man!

@imranhack9024 3 месяца назад

Hi Tomlin. Is there a wireless harmonica wic with finger grips?

@ctef60 3 месяца назад

Hello, I noticed, when I play, micro catch the sound of air from my harmonica. Especially blow 3, 4, 5. Microphone is sm58, amp is Fender Champion 20. How to overcome this situation? Thanks!

@Mr.Altavoz 3 года назад

I ned a mic for flute , hamonica and singing. NOTHING fancy . I'm in between Shure beta a 58 and Sennheiser e945. Had a Shure sm 58 before ( got stolen) , it worked fine but would like to try something a little better .Thanks in advance for any answer.

@georgevalente4223 3 года назад

What to a need to get a little delay or revirb?

@guidoverbiest4667 Год назад

I'm left handed, so I use my right hand to hold the harmonica. Is that the right way for lefties?

@StarQueenEstrella 11 месяцев назад

Paul Butterfield was left-handed and did something similar. However, he apparently held it upside-down, i.e. with hole 1 on his right-hand side.

@photorolensoman8101 4 года назад

Can I use Shure PG56 microphone? It's used for recording drums, but it's small like bullet microphone. I am not shore how it will sound with a harmonica.

@sasaivanovic783 4 месяца назад

I am fan clasic sound of harmonica...harmonica should be harmonica not copy of other instrument.I.love muddy waters band sound harmonica alsaw! Pozdrav iz Srbije( Europe)

@srrlIdl 7 лет назад

Your way of explaining is great, but I would suggest you look into an alternative way of holding the harmonica: the way experts like Joe Filisko and Steve Baker teach it. Also: why did you put black tape on your Ultimate 57?

@TomlinHarmonica 7 лет назад

+surrealIdeal hiya, I've tried a bunch of different grips and this one works for me :-). The rubber tubing is to stop air leaking through the mic grill.

@alessandromatassa6643 8 месяцев назад

What mic do you prefer ?

@MegaBoomer666 7 лет назад

Ist das die Golden Melody von Hohner ? Hast du gute Erfahrungen gemacht mit dieser Harp ? Ich selber spiele die Crossover von Hohner mit Bambus Kamm. Viele Grüße

@ethanbox2010 5 лет назад

What kind of overdrive are you using?

@fleebin2794 Год назад

I woukd like to know that too.

@user-wl1ev8yo5b 3 года назад

какой держатель для него нужен ?

@larrymilco4405 7 лет назад

Purpose of black tape on SM 57 mic?

@TomlinHarmonica 7 лет назад

+Larry Milco it is a rubber tube to stop air getting through the mic grill - I'm obsessive like that :-)

@elgen0314 6 лет назад

That rubber tube changes the pattern of the mic from cardiod to Omni. the the side grill provides back rejection.

@vivektandon4509 7 лет назад

Golden Melody?

7 лет назад

Vivek Tandon - I'd say so. I like the design of Suzuki Bluesmaster harps. Totally covered, & sound great.

@parodiasdemierd4171 7 лет назад

GOLDEN MELODY ES LA MEJOR ARMONICA DE BLUES .

@capttom7772 4 года назад

Hey Tomlin; I'm just an 'Ol Fart and don't know jack....but I waz just wonderin why you never mentioned; "puttin a leash from your wrist to the cord connection on the microphone....it prevents a "Dropped Mic" that can be embarrassing and/or EXPEN$$$IVE ! Captain BUCKLEY(ret.)
