The man's a genius with a harmonica pure and simple .He literally played times from all around the world including Ireland my country and as a dedicated follower of music He sounded like as if he was a native of that country when he played their respective songs .USA I'm sure is proud of buddy Greene 👏👏👏👏
After more than 60 years playing guitar (and in bars like Buddy described) my fingers just won't work anymore. My daughter (a very talented musician) said why don't you try the harmonica? I did, about 3 weeks ago, and I love it. I just played Buddy's Carnagie Hall performance and said "I want that". Ok I know that's not real but I've been working on this damn thing for a few week and I think I have another career out there, if I live another 30 or forty years.
Certainly one of the greats of his generation. He pointed out he's stood on the shoulders of those that came before. Charlie McCoy has said that Little Walter, Sonny Terry & Sonny Boy Williamson II (King Biscuit Flower Hour) influenced him as well.
How could you not luuuuuuuv!! Buddddeee!.Greeeeeeeeene!😊😊I love Buddy w Bill Gaither at Carnegie Hall when Buddy tells Bill Gaither "I've been waiting for this moment all my life! I need you to stand back a little..." Then plays "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"...Buddy needs to train about 5,000 new Grade School and Tweens and Teens how to play Harmonica!! What Buddy Greene does IS ON A WHOLE NOTHER NIVEL...LEVEL!! He's like the guys in the 1980's playing video games on a computer who have maxed out the capacity of the Commodore 64 or Apple 2E...with a 1541 5.25" floppy disk and a joy stick...and the computer is going bonkers...not knowing how to challenge the player any further!!😊😊😊😊
Been playing since I was a kid. "Always carry a harp in your pocket! ".There's more,listen to masters, take lessons, watch tutorials. Time and practice are king,love music. JW
Amazing musician! Been listening to Buddy Greene for over 30 yrs. Love his songs a lot. He also is a very good singer and a prolific writer. He put the music to the awesome song Mark Lowry wrote titled Mary Did You Know.
Thank you dear Buddy! You are a blessing! A girlfriend gifted me your cd/ DVD set. I'm encouraged to not forgive up playing on my lil harps. Humble beginnings.
I freaking lost it when he played La Cucaracha 🤣 I really love that he stuck with diatonic instead of using Chromatic like all the other virtuoso types.
I have heard many of these professionals speech, and that talent comes from years of dedicated practice. Most people can achieve a high level if they just put in the time and work.
Buddy Greene is easily in the top 5 Best HARMONICA players in the World...In my opinion, Buddy is the world's # 1 (One!) Best Player by several standards of SKILL and TALENT: 1. Best Public Performer 2. Super Polite, Courteous, Friendly and Good With Public Audiences 3. Buddy Greene LOVES JESUS CHRIST and plays with Bill and Gloria Gaither. My favorite songs are: (a.) Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (b.) What Can Wash Away My Sin and many others...I am a HARMONICA player also. I play a Hohner. I play over 400 of the 600 Most Popular Christian Hymns by ear. My Harmonica has two keys "G" and "C" on opposite sides of the instrument.
WOW ! I have been watching you for a while now and you are right up there with a few other people I watch. Your Orange Blossom Special really gets my foot taping. I have been trying to play for a few years now and still not good. I wish you the best my friend and I will keep listening to you. Doug Hornick
when I play harmonicas I wind up a little bit whirly from hyperventilation - this fellla comes right back on track with his enthusiastic commentary and explanation -Truly remarkable !!! 🙃
When he played Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing at the end I immediately startet to cry, although I just listened to this video at the side while I was packing my backpack. It just hit me. Great man.
I’m a female harp player and I absolutely LOVE this video!! I play gospel hymns to the honor and glory of Almighty God. Bless you Buddy Greene, my brother-in-Christ. What an amazing grace-gift. HALLELUJAH!!
Edna Walker; ME TOO! Been playing harp for about 35 yrs. I play gospel Blues and many different styles. Love glorifying my Lord & Savior Yeshua. To Yeshua be all the glory, honor and praise to him! Shalom sister in Christ!
Santa played a song with Sleey John Estes over 50 years ago and his partner, Hammie Nixon, encouraged him to continue. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S_gNXeBy1P4.html
I watched some of your showes Mr Buddy Greene you are the best I ever seen keep up the good playing ❤ from 🇨🇦 I am learning right now but I would never get as good as you sir thank you for the incouragement and god bless you my friend 🇨🇦🤠🇱🇷
Always inspiring and awesome. I thank you for your many encouraging emails years ago, before i ever knew you were a big star. You were so kind, thank you.
Your read on thangs slow says alot about where you live with that cabeza coconitis you have to carry around allll day, every day! Dude, dudett, dud or..... how you goin to show when you finally know the difference between whats fleece and whats fur? Cuz right now, you ain't got a clue.
@@KGPetrea I know, Greene is such a master but also a scholar and carries tremendous oral history for this instrument. I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter but started off as a Blues harmonica player going on to Blue Grass, Rock, Funk, Latin and Reggae. I still blow harp but never managed to achieve the kind chops of a Buddy Greene. I've listened to him so many times over the years yet he always blows me away, captivates my mind and steals the heart. He's a Giant and beautiful soul. Go well.
He plays classical musical on harp, he is awesome. Harmonica worship, play your harp in public people love it JUST DO IT you will be surprised, keep it up.
